Obama Received a $101,332 Bonus from AIG March 17 Dan Spencer Right Side Politics Examiner examiner.com Senator Barack Obama received a $101,332 bonus from American International Group in the form of political contributions according to Opensecrets.org. The two biggest Congressional recipients of bonuses from the A.I.G. are - Senators Chris Dodd and Senator Barack Obama. The A.I.G. Financial Products affiliate of A.I.G. gave out $136,928, the most of any AIG affiliate, in the 2008 cycle. I would note that A.I.G.’s financial products division is the unit that wrote trillions of dollars’ worth of credit-default swaps and "misjudged" the risk. The Washington Post reports a "mob effect" at A.I.G financial products division: "A tidal wave of public outrage over bonus payments swamped American International Group yesterday. Hired guards stood watch outside the suburban Connecticut offices of AIG Financial Products, the division whose exotic derivatives brought the insurance giant to the brink of collapse last year. Inside, death threats and angry letters flooded e-mail inboxes. Irate callers lit up the phone lines. Senior managers submitted their resignations. Some employees didn't show up at all." With the anger and rage that is being exhibited against A.I.G., perhaps the bonuses Obama received from A.I.G. explain Obama's A.I.G crocodile tears. Now that the Wall street Journal has revealed that A.I.G. paid bonuses of $1 million or more to 73 employees, it's time to ask if recipients of A.I.G. "bonuses," including President Obama, will give what now ought to be taxpayer money back?

The one comment in this article that deserves special attention---- Well Is He, or Isn’t He? Paul Hollrah March 9, 2009 familysecuritymatters.org "But what if he is not eligible? What then? Well, in that case we have a problem… a very large problem, the solution to which could tear asunder the fabric of American society." Comment: The fabric of American society has already been destroyed and Obama and the Dems have aided and abetted that since the election of Bill Clinton in the 1990's. Bill Clinton was the tip of the iceberg------what we now see is the depth of that iceberg that tore America apart. If he isn't eligible to be President, I will not say at this time what I think should be done. What I will say is that -------------- all Americans of every race would have to recognize the deception and hold accountable those who have perpetrated the deception much as Madoff is being held accountable for the financial fraud. mj

Lorne Rereading the article about Obama and citizenship-----the trip to Pakistan is certainly of interest. That was 1981-----how did he fund the trip---and how did he get into Pakistan-----which passport British or Indonesian. The final paragraphs sums this up well-- Conclusion: When Obama went to Pakistan in 1981 he was traveling either with a British passport or an Indonesian passport. If he was traveling with a British passport that would provide proof that he was born in Kenya on August 4, 1961, not in Hawaii as he claims. And if he was traveling with an Indonesian passport that would tend to prove that he relinquished whatever previous citizenship he held, British or American, prior to being adopted by his Indonesian step-father in 1967. Whatever the truth of the matter, the American people need to know how he managed to become a “natural born” American citizen between 1981 and 2008. Given the destructive nature of his plans for America, as illustrated by his speech before Congress and the disastrous spending plan he has presented to Congress, the sooner we learn the truth of all this, the better. Is he a “natural born” citizen, or isn’t he? It seems pretty clear from the available evidence that he is not. If that proves to be the case he should minimize the damage to the country and follow the Nixon example; he should simply resign from office so that we can begin to clean up the mess he leaves behind. FamilySecurityMatters.org Contributing Editor Paul Hollrah is a Senior Fellow at the Lincoln Heritage Institute The final point is significant: if he does not provide the documentation and proves to be a usurper he should go the way that Nixon went. Nixon resigned because of the Watergate buglary which was penney-ante in comparison to the possibility of a sitting President being a usurper. It's time for Obama to stop avoiding the questions and produce the original documents with no erasures or computer drawn copies. He has let this go far too long. mj
