The human impact of mob mentality
President Obama and the Senators and Congressmen (Democrats and Republicans alike) should all be subject to legal action for placing the lives of AIG executives and families in jeopardy.
Ultimately, only one executive is responsible for the financial results of a corporation. The CEO. Nobody else. The vast majority of these executives did nothing wrong. They were simply doing their jobs. Through hard work and initiative, they worked their way up through the organization. They had proven that they were the most talented and knowledgeable persons for the job.
This happens in almost every large corporation in the world. Those corporations have a lot invested in these employees and want to retain them. One way to keep valuable employees is to pay retention bonuses.
These bonuses may not be indicative of the financial results of the business. In fact, it could possibly be argued that if not for the actions of some of these talented employees, a corporation’s financial results might be far worse than actually experienced.
I don’t know if that is the case with AIG, but one thing is for certain. Most, if not all of these employees are normal everyday people just like you and me. They are not criminals, their spouses and children are not criminals. They did nothing to deserve the ire, wrath, and outright hatred that is being directed their way.
Like all of us, they are victims. Victims of the misdirection, dare I even say, lies of the Obama administration and its willing cohorts.
If, God forbid, anything happens to these people as a result of this hyped up outrage, I hope that any Prosecutor goes after the real culprit, Barack Hussein Obama!! Like the CEO, he is the one ultimately responsible for the results of the organization.
