I don't want to go crazy here, but is anyone really surprised by the AIG bonus situation. There was a great editorial in the Mobile paper this morning, they made the argument that how could we expect to buy the elephant and not get the manure. If the government is going to take over any business, they have to honor the contractual obligations. I am beginning to wonder if the Obama (like Bush) Administration is the "gang that could not shoot straight." I am starting to hear comparisons to the Carter administration. Well, America, "be careful what you wish for, you might just get it." You wanted Change, you've got it.
Although I think these bonuses are ridiculous, you had to expect as much from a company that has failed so miserably otherwise. It does give me hope in my current job search though. These days all I have to do is get a job, lie to a lot of people, totally burn a company to the ground, and then wait indignantly for my performance bonus check from the government...
