Slight edit of my outrage, Lindsay called attention to the VA outrage and full kudos for that.
Anybody Outraged?
Over the fact that the Administration requested that language be inserted in the AIG bailout to ensure that the bonuses could happen, Chris Dodd lied about it, and then they all spent the whole week expressing moral outrage and proclaiming their intentions to get that money back for the American people?
I know that people who aren't fans of Obama are pissed off, but what about those of you that like him? Does it bother you?

if the outraged reaction is a mockery, then i agree, it's disgusting.
Hard to hear O saying "The buck stops here" amid his cheers of "GO NORTH CAROLINA!"I can't imagine Pres. Bush or the 2008 McCain saying "the buck stops here"

Yes, much better to be chopping wood in Crawford while your minions out undercover CIA agents.

What was the VA outrage? That private insurance, if you had it, would be your primary coverage, and the government insurance secondary?
I love a good cheesteak with fried minions.
The VA outrage is that this country has taken care of its wounded vets at a cost to all of us, since they got hurt in service to all of us. To do anything else is an outrage; I don't care how you couch it.
This country has historically done a crappy job of taking care of our vets [and active duty for that matter]. I didn't see a lot of outrage on this board last year, or the year before...The VA outrage is that this country has taken care of its wounded vets at a cost to all of us, since they got hurt in service to all of us.

Maple1, I'd argue this point with you further but I don't really think you believe that's it ok to remove publicly funded coverage for wounded vets. I just don't. So there isn't really any point.
How about answering the question posted by the initial post, instead?

Careful. You'll be accused of having a hard-on for Bill Clinton.
Unlike the pants-tent Mape clearly has for GWB.

B.O. says "Blame me" so now it's all ok.
Life is goooood, I'm sorry, what was I blaming O for again...B.O. says "Blame me" so now it's all ok.

For all the woes of Western civilization.
As I understand the VA proposal, they weren't removing pulic funding, they were saying if you have coverage through your job that would pay first, then the gov. plan. If you don't have other coverage then obviously the gov plan is primary. There was no reduction in benefits was there?Maple1, I'd argue this point with you further but I don't really think you believe that's it ok to remove publicly funded coverage for wounded vets.

So no hope on hearing your views on this thread? Cause there's already a thread for the other one; it only came up here because I was acknowledging that Lindsay had been intellectually honest enough to bring it up.As I understand the VA proposal, they weren't removing pulic funding, they were saying if you have coverage through your job that would pay first, then the gov. plan.

Wow, this must be the first time ever on this board that the topic has drifted from the original post; because surely you would have called out others if this had happened in the past.
As far as the original question - I haven't followed the AIG thing that closely. It sounds like Dodd and Obama flip flopped. If that is true it is not good.
