Misdirected anger

We’ve heard a lot the last few days about AIG and the $165 million (or $173 million, depending on which source you’re paying attention to) worth of bonuses paid to executives in the department that dragged the company under. Many have been giving BHO and his flunkies props for their supposed outrage at AIG’s usage of taxpayer dollars to pay these bonuses.

But who should we really be mad at? I think anger toward AIG is misdirected. Outrage should be poured first on BHO and his fraudulent use of our money. It was idiotic practices that got AIG in financial trouble in the first place. What did the government think was going to happen when it started dropping billions of dollars into the pockets of incompetent people?

It would be nice to believe that these already millionaires would void their own contracts that required the bonuses in order to help the company that made them rich in the first place, but human nature is never that benign. Anger at the company is wasted energy. Any thinking person would know what was going to happen when BHO delivered another truckload of money to the failing company.

Instead, level anger and protest where they belong: at the steps of the White House. BHO and his useful idiots are spending our money willy nilly with no end in sight. Look past his “outrage,” he paid those bonuses out of your pocket.
