You know that sneaking suspicion you had that Barack Obama just didn’t get it. Well, it looks like you were right.
Today, our President compared the men and women getting bonuses from AIG to suicide bombers.
Gateway Pundit reports:
This was a sad moment for the country. President Obama hit a disgusting new low in the politics of moral equivalence.He compared the violence and death of a suicide bombing to the AIG bonus scandal. Pretty sick.
Gateway Pundit has the news link.
I’m getting a very bad feeling about the next four years. Very bad.
Just to ask a connected question. If AIG is a suicide bomber, what does that make Senator Chris Dodd who admitted that he was responsible for the executive bonus loophole. Some kind of terrorist mastermind?
And didn’t Dodd say that he did so at the request of administration officials. Wouldn’t that make Obama the ultimate terrorist in this case? Wouldn’t that make him…well…Obama bin Laden. (Hey! It’s his metaphor)

Yeah, funny how this all goes back to the administration, isn’t it? And the excuse is “we were scared they might sue”. How hard would it be to get 400 releases signed before handing over a hundred billion dollars? Apparently harder than pressuring Dodd into changing the language in what was intended to be a very good amendment.
And we’re still in the first hundred days. It’s going to be a long four years.

If the guys at AIG who received bonuses are akin to terrorists, they can strap a couple million dollars to their chest and come invade my house anytime.

I think that in his mind these ARE equivalent. If you think that human life can be equated to dollar values or an inconvenience factor beyond which their life is worthless, then I can see how that person might put a value on someone’s life.
I’m just saying that he is consistent here.

Matthew, you’re just now getting a very bad feeling about the next four years?

LarryD, I like your way of thinking. I could first use a new front door (so they can take that out first on their way in). I live in privatized housing on a military base – the dern doornobs come loose constantly! I’ve never lived in a place where I had to keep a screwdriver handy at all times. Seriously. I’m not going to say WHO they contracted to build these things – take a wild guess!
