A.I.G. executives face scorn, even at their homes

NEW YORK: An A.I.G. executive who had been nicknamed ‘‘Jackpot Jimmy’’ by a New York tabloid walked up the driveway toward his bay-windowed house in Fairfield, Connecticut, on Thursday. ‘‘How do I feel?’’ said the executive, James Haas, repeating the question he had just been asked. ‘‘I feel horrible. This has been a complete invasion of privacy.’’

Mr. Haas walked on, his pink shirt a burst of color on a slate-gray afternoon. The words came haltingly. ‘‘You have to understand,’’ he said, ‘‘there are kids involved. There have been death threats. …’’ His voice trailed off. It looked as if he were fighting back tears.

‘‘I didn’t have anything to do with those credit problems. I told Mr. Liddy I would rescind my retention contract,’’ he said, referring to Edward M. Liddy, the chief executive of A.I.G.

He ended the conversation with an order: ‘‘Leave my neighbors alone.’’

If someone gets injured here….it’s going to be a sad day for America!!!

Now these executives are toxic, and those communities are rattled and divided. Private security guards have been stationed outside their houses, and sometimes the local police drive by. A.I.G. employees at the company’s office tower in New York City were told to avoid leaving the building while a demonstration was going on outside. The memo also advised them to avoid displaying company-issued ID cards when they left the office and to abandon tote bags or other items with the A.I.G. logo.

One A.I.G. executive, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he feared the consequences of identifying himself, said many workers felt demonized and betrayed. ‘‘It is as bad, if not worse, than McCarthyism,’’ he said, referring to Joseph McCarthy, the former U.S. senator who used indiscriminate, often unfounded, accusations to suppress opponents. Everyone has sacrificed the employees of A.I.G.’s financial products division, he said, ‘‘for their own political agenda.’’

The public’s anger, he said, ‘‘is coming from bad facts as a result of someone else’s agenda — or just bad facts, period.’’ Instead, he said, the so-called bonuses were in fact just payments that had been promised long ago to workers, including technical and administrative assistants

<i>Given the fact that AIG was also a campaign contributor, it’s also emboldening critics.</i>

AIG was a big contributor to Obama too.  

Chris Dodd is a shady character at best, not exactly a "servant" of the people. He bows and scrapes to the wants and needs of big business because they are contributing to his already bulging bank accounts.  We must look into why he is osbtructing legislation that would give credit card holders some relief from the gouging and blood-sucking of the credit card companies.  Christ Dodd has stalled this legislation because as he put it, "The credit card companies have put up a good fight."  He should be putting up a good fight on behalf of the people he represents instead of the big businesses who line his pockets with gold.  He is a disgrace and I hope the good people of Connecticut will throw him out on his fat ass in 2010…..and I am a long-time, staunch Democrat.

Imagine that…it appears that Chris Dodd is being thrown ‘under the bus’ like so many others by the Obama inner sanctum.  Why not a sub-committee hearing (or two) about Dodd, Frank, Pelosi, et al., about their culpability in all of this.  Anyone think it will happen….yeah, me neither.

Unfortunately the Republicans defend their crooks and liars, the Democrats will stand for principal and honesty every time.  Maxine Waters, a far left Democrat, criticized Obama and Dodd on Morning Joe this a.m.  No surprise…the Democrats want transparency and straight talk, not distorted and twisted versions of the truth and/or lies to cover up for the crooks and liars of a particular party.  Honor and country first….
