Former AIG head denies he started exec bonuses
(Agencies)
Updated: 2009-03-20 23:50 Greenberg said that AIG once was "the greatest company in history." It had been the world's largest insurer with clients all over the globe.
The bill was passed on a 328-93 margin despite sharp Republican attacks calling it a legally questionable ploy to cover up Obama administration missteps on this issue. House Minority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, said the bill was "a political circus" diverting attention from why the administration hadn't done more to block the bonuses before they were paid. Although a number of Republicans cast "no" votes against the measure at first, there was a heavy GOP migration to the "yes" side in the closing moments. The bill now goes to the Senate.
