    AIG has historically split their contributions down the middle, it is them covering their bases. McCain would get the same Y!A rhetoric flap if he had won

    Yes, and they also had an agreement that they wouldn't accept public funding and obama broke that promise.

    The difference between Obama and McCain is that McCain actually had AIG lobbyists on his staff...

    Secondly - These contributions came from employees at all levels and were cut off at something like $2400 max - due to campaign finance laws... no big deal, really.

    It's really shady for Republicans to make it sound like Obama accepted lobbying money from AIG as a corporation... That's a lie.
    He recieved more donations from lower-level workers than any other candidate.

    But John McCain didn't make a secret back door deal to pay out over a hundred million dollars to a failing company.

    Why Flip Out About AIG Executives Bonuses, When AIG Is Being Used to Funnel BILLIONS Into Foreign Banks?

    Then he is to blame as well.

    Just because McCain got some doesn't make it right.

    He should give it back as well.
