Now who doesn't think that these fine fellows don't deserve bonuses and luxury retreats?

It's just tax dollars, who the heck cares if tax dollars are blown. The inflation explosion is coming anyways, soon the national debt and your retirement along with it will be worth nothing. How else can we back out of this situation?

Selfish, Vain, Egotistical, Self centered me people. Common crooks. Average people are busting their butts trying to make ends meet and these jerks are having a good ole time partying. We are the stupid one's for letting our so called leaders give them the handout. And the hard working blue collar American is looked down upon for missing a couple of credit card payments. We are in deep trouble.

You are not the only one. I never thought bailing them out was/is the answer.

These sorry ass dumb executives don't get it because of the dumb ass idiot still in the White House until January 20th. We should have let these sorry ass pathetic idiots shut down the company. As for Henry Paulson - he has shown his true colors by making damn sure his buddies on Wall Street get the last laugh at taxpayers' expense. No wonder he wanted the bail out to pass within 72 hrs. These sorry ass bastards created the crap shit ass mess, laughed all the way to their offshore banks with bonuses and golden parachutes but now expect taxpayers to bail their sorry asses out for the crap shit ass mess they created in the 1st place. This inept and incompetent administration doesn't give a shit about Congress, about the laws, about the constitution or the American people so what's a little screw up of more tax dollars ????????????????? We, the people, can't even fire these inept and incompetent people. What a country ??????????

AGAIN. THEY DIDN'T LEARN THE FIRST TIME. THE SECOND TIME THEY TRIED TO COVER THEIR TRACKS. WHATS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE FIRE THEM ON-THE-SPOT. NO GOLDEN PARACHUTES.

ANY FUNDS FROM THE FIRST BAILOUT NOT YET TRANSFERRED SHOULD BE STOPPED IMMEDIATELY, AND NOT ANOTHER DIME GIVEN UNTIL THE ENTIRE TOP MANAGEMENT HAS BEEN FIRED WITHOUT SEVERANCE.

Hey Congress and All You Washington Flunkies!

Wake up! How long is this garbage going to go on without you, who should be representing the people, monitoring their every move? This is ridiculous! Here we are, hard working taxpayers, trying so very hard to keep control of our houses and our jobs, and companies like AIG are laughing at us while basking in luxury.

You represent us Congress, so do your jobs and stop this insanity.

HOW CRASS CAN YOU GET. HOW IRRESPONSIBLE.EITHER AIG IS PLAYING THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT FOR A CHUMP, OR THE FEDERAL GOVERMENT AND AIG IS PLAYING THE TAX PAYER FOR A CHUMP.

Time to make a s-hit list... I'm going to go to each headquarters where these guys work and take a dump on their front entrance... Since thats what they are publicly doing to us and our children... Fuck'em all...

If they werent struggling, it wouldnt be our business, but they are being bailed out with our money...

AIG executives should be jailed immediately including the CEO who appeared on CNBC YESTERDAY and was so smug about the new > bail out. Who can be accountable today in Government. Where is the checks and balances. This is our money. Is this what we get from the elections of Nov 4. because if it is we must move out of the country.

I agree they are self-centered, egotistical,supersilious, arrogant ba_ _ _ _ _ _. But the real culprits in this is Congress and more specifically the Senate (Pelosi's crew); remember she said things would change under her watch - HA! Congress is the stop gap - it can pass, it can approve, it can rescind, so where are those members now? Maybe O'Bama will change things, do you think???

In one of the presidential campaign debates, Barack Obama said that the AIG executives who conducted the first boondoggle retreat at taxpayer expense should be fired and denied any severance pay, etc. Now AIG has done it again but this time with an attempted concealment. What audacity and arrogance---it is as if the AIG execs think they have an entitlement to taxpayer funds to allow their high lifestyles to continue at public expense in the face of the severe economic turmoil. Unfortunately. the president-elect has no power or authority to directly address this outrage until January 20. Somebody in power in the U.S. government needs to do something to stop this gross abuse of public funds now.

Do these people have no sense or shame? The "average" American can barely keep afloat these days and here AIG is once again playing on our buck.

The actions of management is unbelievable. They should all be fired and new management hired before the government transfers another penny to this company. For the last 20 years many ceos and others have raped investors. That's one of the reason the stockmarket is in the cellar and will probably stay there until this abuse is dealt with.

Since the goverment is bailing out how about bailing me out since I lost $60000 on my 401k

I agree with almost everyone's comments with the exception of Fred. The Senate is not Pelosi's crew. She is a representative and Speaker of the House.

Until we hard working American Middle Class band together and stop paying Taxes to this inept Goverment of ours, we are never going to get out of this mess!!!! Enough is enough!! The Goverment cannot throw all of us in Jail!!

Here is a classical example of government not paying heed to the rank and file of this country! Our so called representatives (Senate & Congress) long ago forgot whom they represent, instead, they get on their hands and knees to serve only those that provide them with so called "campaign contributions" and favors and no longer attend to the needs of the people. Voting for either Republicans or Democrats is a farce that continues leading this nation our ours on a merry-go-round to nowhere. For shame!!!!!!!!

LOL... you can all vote for me when this shit stops. The way the tax payers bail out money should have shared for all of us.

1. Give the money to the mortage company.

2. Mandatory (reduce) refinance exsiting loan's to 50% for 20 year low intrest loan.
(They Got Their Money)

3. This will STIMULATE the enconomy without a small piece of Goverment Hand Out. (Gas Money)

Frankly, I'm tired of AIG using the "inaccurate reporting" excuse. Regardless of who paid, the Phoenix event doesn't resonate with ordinary people. Obviously, AIG either doesn't care or can't learn from past experience. Either way, they don't deserve any bailout, let alone an additional $40 billion. Time to just say no!
