President Pesci
President Obama has a Goodfellas moment: “You think I’m funny? Do I amuse you in some way? … Like I’m some kind of clown or something?”
President Obama got testy when asked by Ed Henry why his administration took so long to respond publicly to the AIG bonus botch.
OBAMA: “It took us a couple of days because I like to know what I’m talking about before I speak.”
Ha. Ha-ha. Ha-ha-ha. Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!!!
Take all the time you need, Mr. President. Anything worth doing is worth doing right:
The problem with this is that it took him a couple of days — and he still got it wrong. If you’ll recall, Obama and his team first claimed to know nothing about the bonuses, and then modified that claim to knowing nothing about the amendment in the omnibus plan that allowed them to get paid. Subsequently, we discovered that not only did Tim Geithner and Congress discuss the bonuses on March 3rd (and that Geithner wrote an e-mail about them while with the New York Fed in November), but that it was Geithner and his staff that directed Chris Dodd to make the necessary changes to the amendment that enabled the bonuses.
And why did Obama defend AIG CEO Edward Liddy the day before he was led to the slaughter in front of Congress?
What a tangled web you’ve woven, Mr. President.
