And today the following stories appeared in Media sources:Joining a wave of public anger, President Barack Obama blistered insurance giant AIG for “recklessness and greed” Monday and pledged to try to block it from handing its executives $165-million (U.S.) in bonuses after taking billions in federal bailout money.
“How do they justify this outrage to the taxpayers who are keeping the company afloat?” Mr. Obama asked. “This isn't just a matter of dollars and cents. It's about our fundamental values.”
Mr. Obama aggressively joined other officials in criticizing American International Group, the company that is fast becoming the poster boy for Americans' bailout blues.
