AIG, AIG, AIG, AGGGGGHHHHHH

More opportunist trash from the do nothing Obama.

Isn’t it really the philosophy of offering somewhat risky loans to less wealthy home buyers really what got us here? It doesn’t seem like the Bush tax cuts (or any tax cuts) have anything to do with the mortgage crisis.
Isn’t it the greedy banks and consumers who have led us here? I mean, the reason everyone went for those sub-primes were because they thought they could handle it because the prices would go up up up.
There is a lot of blame to go around, but it seems like it is one of those things where govt cannot act quickly enough to stop the bubble mentality…
If that was the case, why didn’t Clinton stop the dot-com bubble from bursting?

Palin:
AIG stands for Alaska Is Good. :0

Boom, boom, boom Carly’s under the bus. Another one gone, another one gone, another one under the bus. . . . .
“Carly will now disappear,” this source said. “Senator McCain was furious.” Asked to define “disappear,” this source said, adding that she would be off TV for a while – but remain at the Republican National Committee and keep her role as head of the party’s joint fundraising committee with the McCain campaign.
Fiorina was booked for several TV interviews over the next few days, including one on CNN. Those interviews have been canceled.

If people can forgive Palin for not knowing the Bush Doctrine, which has affected the world for the past 7 years, they can forgive the Obama campaign’s misstatement. As William Shakespeare wrote “What’s in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet.” It doesn’t matter what you call AIG, the fact remains it’s a mess.

Maybe your handle has something to do with it, Brownshirt. Perhaps if you quit putting sticks in people’s eyes, they’ll be nicer. Perhaps not.
Last spring, the week I posted a blog questioning Obama’s credentials, I began to receive hate calls in the middle of the night. Obama whipped up some awful rage out there.
Those comments are classicrage addiction. It is the same as road rage except it will last longer. We see this in web flame wars everyday and have for over a decade now.
This is the result of all campaigns having used symbols and signs guaranteed to create strong adversarial emotional reactions. It’s called emotional vectoring and it the technique applied when a candidacy is predicated on the notion that the voters are too dumb to reason.
Expect an uptick in drug addiction and some violence post-election. The term is addiction transfer.
The amount of money spent on the election is a clue. Pelosi’s Amazing Money Machine was an amazingly bad idea. The 527s are too.

Now even typos are newsworthy?

Welcome to the Socialist Republic of Corporate America. Under, Premier Bush.

That Cliff we are heading over is getting closer and closer. I do hope if McCain wins he reinstitutes the draft. We definitely need to get everyone 17 to 45 in the military. We’re going to be pretty busy conquering the world!

This is someone on Obama’s staff, not Obama.
How about a story on McCain repeatedly calling the SIPC the S-P-I-C yesterday?

Mistaking Insurance for International by Obama’s campaign staff is a typo.
John McCain calling Sunnis, Shites is scary.

Maybe 0bama can bail out Wall Street by holding fund raisers in Hollywood? $9 Million at a time? That should only take a year or so.

Keith from CT:
How much cash DID 0bama get from Lehman Brothers? Fannie Mae? I understand that only Chris Dodd — your Senator — got more Fannie money than 0bama.

Bush’s I.Q. is to low to have a Doctrine unless it was written in crayon. Everybody knows Pinky and the Brain’s, a.k.a. Bush/Channey Doctrine. It’s to take over the world.

Oops He did it again. Perhaps Brittny or Paris can help him with the names of big financial institutions.

I blame individual consumers for this problem. They bought more house than they could afford, and hoped that their adjustable rate mortgages never *gasp* adjusted!
Now all of a sudden, keeping up with the Jones’ has cost you your house and cost the economy its stability and cost taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars that really aren’t there.
This dangerous trend of buying today’s material possessions with tomorrow’s money is finally beginning to catch up to the largest economy in the world. And the end result can be delayed, but I believe it is inevitable. And it isn’t going to matter who is in the White House or Congress when the time comes to pay the piper.

Obama’s statement on his website at 10:42 this morning has it correct. Your statement here at 11:56am has the typo. So my question is… this is just a typo- is it your or his staff?

Kirch 79:
Your comment: And it isn’t going to matter who is in the White House or Congress when the time comes to pay the piper.
That is just plain WRONG. There were people with a very keen interest of keeping money available and cheap. We need to find out who they are and take actions to tighten up regulations and punish these offenders. People lost homes and those working for these lending institutions are going to lose JOBS. This is not just an intellectual exercise. There are real people out here losing.

I heard a couple of TV news stations call it “Insurance” instead of “International” too.
That’s what happens when the media parrots talking points from Obama. Can they be anymore in the tank?

Obama: The Wizard of Uh’s
Mistakes even with the teleprompter.

The critics point to a 1999 study by the General Accounting Office, the investigative arm of Congress, which found that low earners tended to fare worse under the Galveston plan than under social security. It also found that people did better with social security if they lived longer, because the federal system is indexed to inflation. The private plan is not.

sara palin can see russia from her house!

only in republican land can you criticize a community organize and hail a corrupt in experienced mayor as someone who will reform washington

a liar is a liar no matter if she wears lipstick or has a giant scar on her face
mccain and palin are bush cheney it doesnt matter if they jump up and down and refuse to say the word republican…
you are what you are…
thanks but no thanks bush cheney 3

A quick Google search shows it’s not that uncommon an error. I mean, AIG is an insurance corporation, so it’s not exactly a huge leap to think the ‘I’ stands for ‘Insurance’, nor does it indicate a fundamental misunderstanding of what AIG is.
It’s not exactly a big issue.

aaparently Obama’s staffers cannot indentify a largfe company like AIG.IF THEY DON’T KNOW THE PROPER NAME OF THIS HUGE INSURANCE GAINT ,HOW IN THE WOELD COUILD EXPECRT THIS PEOPLE TO INDENTIFY WORLD POLITICAL PROBLEMS BY THE CORRECT NAME , OBVIOUSLY oBAMA AND HIS STAFF ARE NOT UP TO THE TASK.

Why is everyone now interviewing Ron Paul? Could it be that he has been correct the last 10 years in predicting this mess?

Guess his teleprompter malfunctioned! Lol! What an idiot!

He knows what the Bush Doctrine is, though…
And he knows a LOT about Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, since he got more money from them in less time than any other Senator.
McCain was trying to fix this mess three years ago, but got blocked by Chris Dodd, who got even MORE money from these deadbeats.
McCain–right on the Surge, right on Palin, right on Fannie/Freddie.
Obama–wrong on the Surge, wrong on Biden, not even wrong on this disaster. He was too busy running for President of the Planet at the time.

I love Jack, but still.
Note that when it comes to pointing out Obama’s gaffe, Jack makes it clear that it was Obama’s CAMPAIGN that sent out the release, as if it’s not really Obama’s mistake at all.
Even though in a story about the release, it quotes Obama as if it’s all Obama’s ideas.
In any case, McCain was part of the solution before Obama was in the Senate, only Obama and his Democratic buddies joined up with some Republicans and thwarted the regulatory changes that were needed to nip this crisis in the bud.
Meanwhile, Biden thinks that a bill that has a ton of bad stuff should be supported just because it punishes CEOs. Well, I’d love to punish CEOs who cheat us, but that’s not going to fix the crisis. McCain is too busy working on a plan to fix the real problems while Obama and Biden are still trying to afix the blame.

Maybe if we focus hard enough on the typos, the Wall Street collapse will
just go away.

Who cares what their name is. They could Call themselves An Irrelevant Gaffe for all I care. If you can look up NYSE:AIG, that’s what matters. Honestly, I didn’t know what the I was until everything started hitting the fan. I’ve always just referred to them as AIG, as they refer to themselves regularly.

Doesn’t AIG currently have plans for more employee bonuses in the near future?
