You, my friend, have the fashion sense of a troll.</p></div></p>
	<p>The man at the right in this photo is Gary Pasciucco,  a former vice chairman of Morgan Stanley who now runs AIG Financial Products. That division is the prodigal arm of the insurer which guaranteed the credits swap that unraveled the global economy. Gary and his cronies will now <a href="http://thehill.com/leading-the-news/staff-uh-uh-we-deserve-this-money-2009-03-17.html">receive</a> millions in bonuses, even though you and I now own AIG. Yes, the politicians should be outraged. Yes, these corporate douchebags should feel such shame that thoughts of <a href="http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5icOs4NIy2TS5K4yNVGqPq_Twpa9w">suicide</a> are not foreign. But, America, this is a smokescreen! The bonuses are just a small slice of the hundreds of billions of wasted dollars you, me, everybody spent in the mad dash to prop up Wall Street greedheads.</p>
	<p>Don&#8217;t let the witch hunt to catch these bonus boneheads and Bernie Madoff distract you from the real scandal. The people who got us into this mess are running the show! Timothy Geithner ran the New York branch of the Federal Reserve which signed off on these poisonous assets!</p>
	<p><span id="more-1909"></span>Congress and Obama administration, we don&#8217;t want to get back the .01 percent of our Wall Street bailout. We want it all back. We want the heads of those firms which got us into this miss. We want the heads of those in government who did as well. Hank Paulson. Ben Bernanke. And, yes, Timothy Geithner. They must resign and join the shame chain in front of the American people.</p>
	<p>How did AIG receive all these funds, no strings attached, with rules they created? AIG contributed to the campaign funds of both parties. Obama received a ton of money from Wall Street greedheads. Now, those greedheads are running the show. The story of the Obama election was supposed to be the story of small donors. We now know it was really the story of Wall street insiders.</p>
	<p>Why is Obama bailing out Wall Street at an even more aggressive pace than the Bushies? Where is the change promised during the campaign?</p>
	<p>Yet again, America, we&#8217;ve been had. Send your complaints directly to the White House.</p>
	<p>Shame on you, President Obama. You&#8217;re no better than the rest. Money, pure and simple, continues to run this country. Lack of accountability is still the flavor of the month in Washington D.C. In three years, you watch, the Gary Pasciuccos of the world will still make society pages and Joe Struggle will still see no way out of his debt.</p>
	<p>- <a href="http://gawker.com/5175745/aig-corporate-securitys-tips-for-surviving-an-angry-mob"><em>Gawker</em></a> released AIG memo warning employees of mob justice. Why are the afraid? Most likely because they&#8217;re guilty. Don&#8217;t burn all the employees&#8217; homes down. Only those you find still enjoying luxury vehicles and meals. Reposess, people, reposess. It&#8217;s our stuff anyway.            <script type="text/javascript">  linkscolor = "000000";  highlightscolor = "888888";  backgroundcolor = "FFFFFF";  channel = "none";   </script><script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.addmarx.com/dynamicbookmark_compressed.php"></script><span><a onClick="clickDynamic1(this); return false;" href="http://www.addmarx.com"><img src="http://www.shambollocks.com/wp-content/plugins/addmarx/sharebookmarx.png" border="0"></a></span><span style="position:absolute; z-index:1000001; margin-top:24px; margin-left:-127px; visibility:hidden;"><iframe id="addmarx_empty" scrolling="no" frameborder="0"></iframe></span><!-- Please place the above code into your site where you want to have a bookmark/share/publicize link.
