I think it’s perfectly OK for the Obama Administration to be taking a good deal of heat for this whole AIG thing. They coulda, shoulda, handled it better. I think they have demonstrated that they’re a resilient bunch who can learn from their mistakes.
But I am kind of enjoying this whole populism trend we’re starting to see. ‘Cause I think it really plays into the hands of people such as myself who just don’t see the need for anyone to get million-dollar bonuses.
The critics of Obama have every right to question how the AIG thing has been handled, but aren’t they also buying into the underlying proposition: that too many folks have been making too much money at the expense of the middle class?
Isn’t that, I don’t know, SOCIALISM????
When conservative Republicans start screaming about the rewards of capitalism, you know we’ve entered a strange and new place.
