olyclimber Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 fire all execs, put CC.com spray team in control, running things by consensus (use polls so that sprayers can vote early and often) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderhound Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Really to bad for a company to fail because of some shitty mistakes made by one office. But that is the risk you have when you are such a large company. I would like to see them fail if that is what the market suggest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaskadskyjKozak Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009  Boner: you and your libtard buddies elected these guys who are responsible for the bonus loophole.

eldiente Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Well I think KKK is the one with a big boner right now. He made a point! Although take a look at who was working hard to close that loophole, our own Sen Wyden. Dirty politics aside, they (AIG) might have been legally obligated to pay those bonuses no matter the public thinks. One of the key roles of government is to enforce contracts and uphold legal arguments even if the contact is dumb. All the more reason to let them file chapter 11, all of these contracts would be nill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pink Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Obama Accepted AIG Cash for Campaign  With all the outrage coming from the White House over bonuses paid to executives at the troubled AIG Insurance group, the White House might be a bit embarrassed to admit that as a Senator, President Obama took plenty of money from AIG in the form of campaign contributions. According to OpenSecrets.org, Senator Obama was the second largest recipient of campaign dollars from AIG at $101,332. Only Connecticut Senator Chris Dodd (D-CT), Only Connecticut Senator Chris Dodd (D-CT), who, it turns out, is responsible for the loop hole that allowed the bonuses to be paid to AIG executives  http://news.aol.com/political-machine/2009/03/19/obama-accepted-aig-cash-for-campaign/    Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
