Good evening, the public’s frustration with one of the world’s biggest insurance companies erupted into fury today over a plan to pay out millions of dollars in bonuses at AIG. This… after the company has received 170 billion dollars in bailout funds and even now is far from secure.

“It’s hard to understand how derivative파생상품 traders at AIG warranted보증하다 any bonuses, much less하물며 165 million dollars in extra pay! I mean how they justify this outrage to the taxpayers who are keeping the company afloat! This is not just a matter of dollars and sense. It’s about our fundamental values.”
Right now, and Andrea Mitchell reports bailout backlash격렬한 반발! President Obama expresses his outrage over big bonuses to AIG employees. He has directed his Treasury Secretary within the hour to take all legal measures to block them.

Good day, I am Andrea Mitchell live in Washington. President Obama made it clear today that his administration is pursuing every legal option! “All across the country, there are people who are working hard and meeting their responsibilities every single day without the benefit of government bailouts or multimillion dollar bonuses. All they ask is that everyone from main street to Wall Street to Washington play by the same rules.
