Senator Chris Dodd spills the beans
If the administration pressured Dodd to exclude the bonuses they knew. So how can President Obama pretend to be outraged?
President Obama told us he is outraged over the AIG bonuses. He further encouraged us to be outraged also. Today in a CNN interview admitted that he added the amendment allowing the AIG bonuses. After previously denying any involvement with the bonuses he recanted.
"The administration had expressed reservations," Dodd said. "They asked for modifications. The alternative was losing the amendment entirely."

We have serious problems that far outweigh AIG bonuses. Why have we spent a week on cheap theatrics and grandstanding?
