1. let's have a United States referendum to let AIG fail and let what happens, happen
if it hurts the country, at least we all voted for it and will accept the results and deal with it - while we are at it, let's pull the passports on all the financial products division employees in Europe and let them enjoy their new life permanently

3. These AIG cats just don't get it.
This is a Marie Antoinette "Let them eat cake" moment.

5. I think more importantly, Obama and Congress doesn't get it...there's absolutely NO F__KING REASON..
...they couldn't have put in place rules that would not allow F__KING bonuses! Isn't this the fourth F__KING MULTI_BILLION DOLLAR bailout check? They couldn't get it right on the FOURTH F__KING TRY??

AIG argues that they are contractually obligated to...AIG was also contractually obligated to payoff about a TRILLION DOLLARS in insurance claims too...oh yeah, but something prevented them from doing that...what was it?...oh...that's right, through their criminal negligence and hyper-gross ineptitude they didn't have the money.
