AIG ‘Bonuses’ Aren’t Bad For Everyone

Quick… guess who the top two recipients of AIG campaign contributions were in the 2008 election cycle.

If you guessed President Barack Obama and Senator Chris Dodd (D-CT), pat yourself on the back.

Last year President Obama recieved $104,332 and Senator Dodd recieved $103,900.  Next was Senator John McCain (R-AZ) at $59,499 and then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton at $37,965.

Several news organizations are picking up on this story now, so it will be interesting to see if it gains any traction (or generates any outrage).

No word from President Obama, Senator Dodd, or anyone else recieving contributions, on  if they will be giving returning the contributions.
