Fox News Edits 6 Month Old Clip To Suggest That Biden Recently Declared ‘Fundamentals Of The Economy Are Strong’. He was quoting McCain. [VIDEO]

"if you don't give us our bonuses, we'll trigger a default event that will cost AIG the US government tens of billions of dollars." It's just a polite way of saying, "Pay us the $100 million ransom or we start exploding the suicide bomber vests we're wearing."

For AIG: "The government cannot just abrogate contracts. Every legal step possible to limit those bonuses". For the Auto Workers UNION: "Concessions with the union are a condition of the $17.4 billion in government loans that the automakers have received so far"

A bill criminalizing gatherings of more than two people in DC is drawing outrage and opposition from public who called it unconstitutional

Key House Democrat: AIG "Trying to Play the American People for Fools." Recall the Loan, Prosecute the Guilty at AIG, And Cut Off Their Salaries and Bonuses.
