WHO DUNNIT?

The Stimulus
"Murder Mystery"
...Who Dunnit?

This is better than the murder mystery theatres. Ok, soooo Who Dunnit? The mystery over who killed a provision in the stimulus package which in fact would of put a limit on the amount of bonuses AIG could give their greedy guys is becoming more and more mysterious.

Senator Ron Wyden and Senator Olympia (I screwed all you republicans) Snowe wrote a provision for the stimulus bill that would have forced bailout recipients to put a cap on bonuses at $100,000 and anything over that amount would be taxed at 35%.

So in the meantime this provision has mysteriously disappeared from the bill. Now know one knows for sure what happened only that the provision is no longer there. Wyden got the support of all Senators and not one of them voted against it. But Wyden also said "it died in Conference". But Wyden also can't tell you WHO killed, when it was killed, where the bill was when this provision was killed. That's exactly what happens when Democrats have secret midnight meetings. You bet I said it....prove it ain't so!

So Obama acting all shocked DEMANDS the person who did this step forward. ::::::::waiting::::::: waiting...oops nobody steps forward. How cute is that?

The Huffington Post reports: "I pulled out all the stops," Wyden told me, "to convince the president's economic team that this amendment was vital to the White House for two reasons: 1) the president had spoken out against bonuses; 2) fury about bonuses would kneecap confidence in the president's entire economic policy."

But no one inside the president's economic team was in favor of it. As Wyden put it: "If the White House economic team had made it clear that this was important, this provision would never have been removed. I don't believe the president has been well-served on the bonus issue by his economic team."

What? huh? there is dissention in the ranks? WHO DUNNIT? Sen. Chris Dodd confessed to adding language to a spending cap in the stimulus bill last month that specifically excluded executive bonuses included in contracts signed before the bill's passage, stating the Treasury Officials forced him to make the changes.

Isn't it funny that AIG donated more money this past year than any year since 1990. And of course we are going to see just where and who that money went to. Of the $587,000 the company doled out to campaigning lawmakers, $443,000 went to Democrats. How funny! And guess, just guess who the two top recipients of the Democratic Party were. Yeppers, Obama and Dodd. Obama was the highest recipient of over $100,000, and Dodd was second only to Obama. Now before you left wingers go all spastic on me, McCain received $59,500. This was a 14 year low for AIG. I believe it's safe to say, AIG gives where they think they will get back the most. Indeed, they are giving to the party who will control congress and the White House. Whichever party that may be.

So as of now there is a lot of finger pointing going on. I just wonder WHO REALLY DUNNIT?
