He also happens to have been the largest recipient of campaign donations from AIG. Perhaps he is trying to hold them up for more.
Naw, he was happy to support them with quid pro quo legislation when it wasn’t visible, as in a bill that is rushed through without anyone able to read it. Now that there is populist outrage, he throws them under the Obamabus and moves on.
Congress making such a targetted, punitive tax scares the bejebbers out of me.
