Breaking News:HOUSE PASSES BILL TO TAX AIG BONUSES BY 90 PERCENT

Pity they did"nt do that for the last eight years, Hey Kyl Obama has only been in the White House for 2 months trying to fix up the mess you lot left him after eight years of anything goes in the White House.
Senator Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.) and other Republicans on the Hill are upset with Obama"s choice to appear on the Tonight Show during his trip to California. Instead, says Kyl, Obama should stay in Washington to face the big issues, namely the AIG bonus shakeup.
"My suggestion is that he come back -- since he"s taken the full responsibility -- to get his people together and say "I want to know exactly what happened, who did what when and how are we going to prevent this from ever happening in the future, and how can we manage these taxpayer assets in a way to solve the banking and financial institution crisis," Kyl said.
