Team Obama: Incompetent or Dishonest? How About Both!

Jake Tapper at ABC News gives us this headline:
Obama Administration: We Didn't Find Out About AIG Bonuses Until This Month

Team Obama is still reacting to Rush Limbaugh who made a big deal of this yesterday.

Maybe it's not a good idea to piss off someone who broadcasts three hours a day on 600 radio stations.

Let’s see: the AIG bonuses were public knowledge last year. But, says Team Obama, the facts were “extremely complex and not easily understood.” So they are relying on the incompetent excuse.

But Tim “only man who could solve this problems so we have to overlook the fact that he cheated on his taxes” Geithner was head of the Federal Reserve when the Feds bailed out AIG and had the bonuses in place. Score another goal for incompetence.

Then add the provision in the stimulus bill parachuted in by Christ Dodd to EXEMPT bonus payments from the caps on executive compensation. Given the fact that Dodd is a major beneficiary of AIG lobbying money, tell me if that provision was not bought and paid for. Score one for corruption and outright lying.

And we are asked to believe that Dodd kept his knowledge from the rest of Team Obama.

I may have been born at night, but not last night.

I vote for dishonest. And stupid … for not coming up with a better fairy tale. Only the MSM will fall for this crock.
