hello america! i'm still waiting on obama to come out & say he will return the money he received from those companies that have received TARP funds. he made such a big thing out of the AIG execs getting their bonuses (which i think was wrong) & yet, he continues to remain quiet on the subject of them financing his campaign. if it's wrong for the execs to get their bonuses, it is equally as wrong for obama to keep their money & he should be forced to return it. that goes for all the sitting elected officials &, more so, for our house of representatives who were so quick to pass a bill taxing the bonuses.
in all the talk floating around washington on how to crackdown on how TARP recipients do their business, there has not even been a peep from any of our lawmakers that would crack down on their receiving money from those companies.
again, we are experiencing the double standard that has always been a part of washington---do as i say but, not as i do. obama should lead by example, not just by mouth. he even froze certain salaries of his staff because of the present economy &, congress elected not to receive a cost of living adjustment this year. & yet, not a word has been uttered about returning any of the money they received from TARP recipients. why not?
