Obama blasts AIG bonuses, says 'I'll take responsibility'

OH NO YOU DON'T!!!!

Don't even try.

We ALL know exactly what he means. Now you personally might not understand personal responsibility. So I'll explain (ROFL just teasing you).

He said..."The buck stops here.'

There is only ONE meaning for that.

Don't be a hater!

Sorry... I dropped into my native vernacular.

Hater is slang. When you don't like someone you are hating on them. Not the literal hate. I forget that I'm not talking to people in my age group. "

I guess that's kind of confusing...And you are younger than my "baby." I do know that "sick" when referring to a wakeboarding trick is a good thing!


"Well he didn't tell us what his plan was. Of course not. A leader isn't required to do that. His job isn't to hand hold us and make us feel better (some will argue that). "

I completely disagree with that. I think he OWES us an explanation of the plan. How else can he be held accountable if the plan is kept secret?
"His job as leader of America is to MAKE us better."

And we have the right to judge along the way as to what kind of job he's doing, good or bad, and then let him and other elected officials know what we think. Otherwise, informed voting is impossible.

As to the respectful discourse. I'm trying. I don't want another 3 month 'vacation' wink:wink:nudge:nudge

Federal Reserve officials knew for months about bonuses at American International Group but failed to tell the Obama administration, according to government and company officials, exposing problems in a relationship that is vital to addressing the financial crisis.
