Oh, this is too easy...

{gleefully rubbing hands together}

Where to begin to emasculate this latest load of revisionist tripe?

...

Actually... you are 100% correct. I heard much of the Libby-Congressional testimony today, and I better understand that the bonus question is one that actually WAS addressed by both the Sec Tres (current) AND Congress (yes, Dodd knew and wrote the bail-out bill anyway). Those lying bastards can look surprised and indignant all they want, it is now on the "record" that both the Administration AND Democratic leadership in the Senate not only okay'd the millions in contractual bonus payments, but they did so after being told by both the Federal Reserve Chairman Bernanke AND AIG itself that the more than $120 million could only be stopped if it was expressly written into the bail-out bill (which Dodd didn't do).

If this is the kind of "change we can believe in" and expect for the first sixty days of the Obama Administration... then I can't wait to see what the next 670 days bring, and what that will do to the balance of power in Congress. As Ryan pointed out, Clinton's actions in his first term did what? They cost the Dems their more than 20-year-old Congressional majority.

Does anyone here think Obama will fair any better?
