Chris Dodd’s Wife Was a Director for an AIG Owned Company
Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive.
That quote from Sir Walter Scott is particularly poignant in the case of Chris Dodd and the AIG bonuses. Let me try to recap the link between Chris Dodd and the AIG bonuses that have ignited the populist fires.
- AIG accepts federal bailout money
- Chris Dodd writes the amendment to the stimulus bill that limits executive pay for companies that accept bailout money. This same amendment exempts executive bonuses, allowing AIG to pay their employees the bonuses that they are contractually bound to.
- The House and Senate pass the stimulus without reading it
- The president signs the stimulus without reading it
- AIG pays the bonuses that Chris Dodd’s amendment required to be paid
- The people are outraged
- Obama is outraged, as is the house and senate
- Politicians blame AIG and greed
- It is learned that Chris Dodd wrote the amendment that guaranteed the bonuses
- Chris Dodd denies he wrote the amendment
- Chris Dodd admits he wrote the amendment but that the wording was changed from what he had written and nobody knows who changed it
- Chris Dodd admits that he wrote the amendment that was voted on but someone in the Obama administration told him to
- We learn that Chris Dodd was the largest recipient of campaign donations from AIR
- We learn that Obama is number two on that list
If the chronological events listed above were not enough to make you believe that Dodd and Obama had an interest in making sure that the AIG executives received their bonuses perhaps this story about Chris Dodd’s wife will make you a believer.
In addition to being the politician that AIG contributed the most money to it appears as though Chris Dodd’s wife was on the board of an AIG controlled company.
Isn’t that quite the coincidence? What are the chances that the man who agreed to let AIG pay out the bonuses that have come under fire just happened to be the largest recipient of campaign donations? And what are the chances that the largest recipient of AIG campaign donations just happens to have a wife who worked on the board?
It all must be a big coincidence. Right?

IS THIS BY FOX NEWS? Oh tell me it is a CHRISTIAN NETWORK BLOG!!!!
You haters!
OBAMA is a good and genuine human. He has had a limited amount of experience; yet he has done more to uplift all of us, then the tiny dictator and his regime.
JOY: it will be hard for all of us for awhile. Let US learn how to live again!
BLESSINGS: We will never allow unelected officials to hold office for one day OR 8 years AGAIN!!!!!
SWEETNESS: For all of the people of this earth…..no matter what race, creed or gender; we will never allow the fakers of this world to take advantage of us OR anyone that government decides to hate.
SORROW: So many have been fooled and being sheep led to the slaughter. It is better these days that every time that you break a dollar, keep the change in your pocket. The next time you break a fiver put the dollars and change in your pocket. Go home and put them in a jar or box. DO NOT SPEND!
FAITH: If you did what I just said above…….in less than 3 weeks you will have $100.00 depending. It could be less while you are in training, or more depending on WHEN you are going to STOP SPENDING MONEY!
TRUST: Are personal items (cells, cars, cable, twitter, blah de blah) as important as your family? Have you gone for 3 or more days without eating? TRUST you and yours to make a life. Take time to look around you, smell what life is. It is about TRUST and LOVE! You can live in a tent as well as a mansion as long as YOU ALL WORK together.
BELIEF: Nothing is real bad for too long because we all live in THE PIT AND THE PENDULUM. You know what I mean.
GO FOR IT: Go back to the basics. Cook at home…even if it is nasty make a fun thing about it. Learn learn learn.
LAUGHTER: Have you ever looked at yourself in the mirror and didn’t believe WHAT you are seeing? How about looking at your partner and throw cold water on them when they are in the shower. Going to the store and getting a tiny bottle of bubbles and sit out on the porch. Running naked in the house to get the other persons towel. Mix it up.
TRULY: Don’t take life personal. Just move on IT will be ok but different. How nice is that.
SINCERELY

To amswer your two questions, no and no. You call me a hater? Aren’t you the one who on my feedback page told me to put a pistol in my hand and do the right thing. If I misinterpretted your meaning I apologize but that whole comment was rather inarticulate.
