Andrew Cuomo

Yesterday I asked for Barney Frank to be removed and sent home from office as he so richly deserves. His actions are equivalent to those of the management of AIG, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and numerous other firms whose heads he called for and generally got.

Today it is Andrew Cuomo. His predecesor, Mr. Spitzer, was as headline grabbing and in your face as Mr. Cuomo but Mr. Spitzer was ahead of the crowd. Mr. Cuomo is johnny come lately, the public is upset about this today so lets start sending subpeonas. His latest missive is unexplainable, subpeonas to AIG over the bonuses? Did he forget that AIG is 80% owned by the US Government so there is nothing he can do that the US can't do better? Where does he even get the authority to send these subpeonas? There is no allegations of wrong doing and bonuses get paid every year to thousands of happy workers, is he going to start asking every company that he can find in the yellow pages?

The US Government is all over the bonuses and Mr. Cuomo's actions simply cost AIG additional funds to comply thus costing you and I, the taxpayer more money.

Thank you Mr. Cuomo and please, New York, send Mr. Cuomo home as well.
