That’s one way to do it

So this is why his teleprompter was so outraged yesterday.

Smoove B and Congress are sucking all the media air out of the room over AIG’s $167 million in bonuses while in the background, AIG has been directed to use its money to bail out other banks.  So far $58 billion has been spent to bail out foreign banks.  The government is borrowing money and laundering it through the AIG bailout and giving it to banks in other countries.  Another $43 billion or so has been provided to American banks in the same way.  Here’s the lowdown on which banks are receiving bailout cash, along with their employee campaign contribution amounts to the Obama campaign.

Goldman Sachs: $955,473
Citigroup: $653,468
JP Morgan Chase & Co.: $646,058
Morgan Stanley: $485,823
Bank of America: $274,493
Wachovia: $214,151
AIG: $112,170

Well shit!  Ain’t that a hoot.  These companies and their employees donate $3.5 million, and they get $43 billion back.  That’s a pretty fucking good return on investment.  But it’s not very hopey-changey.
