First off, I want to acknowledge the outrage my fellow Americans are feeling about the AIG bonuses. If you look at it from the angle that they helped drive our economy into the ground, begged for our hard earned money, then just handed out $165 million dollars to their employees, some of whom no longer work there, it is a very frustrating picture.
But that's not the full picture, America.
We are now experiencing something far greater than national outrage; we're experiencing Unity. Doesn't matter if you're a Democrat or Republican, rich(ish) or poor(er than the AIG folks), we all feel that the money belongs to us. We are a Nation United. (Not to be confused with the UN - that has more vowels).
Is $165 million really so much to pay for Unity?
(Now excuse while I go e-mail my resume to AIG)
This proves you can definitely write commentaries on politics!
