Hot Air » Blog Archive » Video: Kanjorski slams Obama administration

Democrat confirms obama admin/treasury knew about the bonuses - basically he's calling them on their lies - and telling the "uniquely qualified" Geitner to read his mail and pick up his friggin phone.

Uniquely qualified? To do what? The guy is obviously in over his head, just like his boss.

It's all campaign contributions, not a "bonus".

Here is a link that contains information about a lot of people who recieved contributions from AIG and who had stock in them. I didn't see anything about Bush, if the other poster could post that link that would be great.
