WHAT in the SAM HELL?
...Obama was informed of the bonuses on March 12, before they were paid. After the funds were disbursed, the president ordered his economic and legal teams to determine if there was a way to recoup the money, according to the aide.(AAAAAAAAAAAAAAhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
So why are we beating up Frodo Geithner for "not doing something"? He TOLD the boss in time. And, if Obama KNEW days before, why didn’t our Action Jackson Crisis Opportunity President…ACT ?!?
(In 6 months, will anyone even ADMIT to voting for this f*cking incompetent, clueless POS?)
We're doomed.
UPDATE: Via Instapundit, this story with some Gibbsian tap dancing:
...Gibbs was peppered with questions at his daily briefings Monday and Tuesday on why the administration didn't act earlier -- like when it was offering another $30 billion to the company in early March.Gibbs said Monday, "Based on what I read in the newspaper," the administration learned about the bonuses last week. He declined to offer a timeline on Tuesday.
Oh, I'll BET he declined! Because he probably found out Monday night that the PRESIDENT had known about it as well!
"WHAT did he KNOW, and WHEN did he KNOW it" ring a bell?

He claimed to find out by reading it in the newspaper. I find that dubious. Newspapers only break stories about classified, previously-unknown anti-terrorist programs that work.

The whole thing reeks to high heaven. It's a FLAT OUT lie if what Bloomberg's reporting is true. And his "outrage" funny from that small business press conference is breathtaking.

"Based on what I read in the newspaper,"
(snort)
I didn't believe it was possible, but Gibbs is making Scott McClellan look like a genius. Maybe the auto industry is in the crapper because they didn't anticipate the increased demand for clown cars.

It's very disturbing that anyone would rely on the newspapers for facts. It's even more disturbing when the president's mouthpiece has newspapers as his only source of what his boss thinks.

What's the Vegas line on this administration collapsing like a dungheap before the end of the year?

The Won, Gibbs and all of Congress could have known about it if they'd bother to read that bailout bill we had to have in such a hurry. It's now obvious that either few if any of them read it even after it was passed, or they a pack of liars. Dodd knew about it when he voted to the damn thing since he inserted the language that authorized the payments.

Some people will admit to voting for Obama in six months, but they'll be even more clueless than The Won™ is.
