You know, this isn't a secret (the bonuses). It really is disingenuous the way President Obama, Geitner and all the others are expressing such outrage. They should never have given AIG money without first outlining this stuff. While most of the money went out before Obama was president (I believe), they certainly could have held back that last $30 billion. THAT is on them. And hasn't Gietner been involved in this since the beginning?
