Who is in charge of our government?

Apparently the British aren't the only ones unable to get the Treasury Department to answer their telephones. Representative Paul Kanjorski (D.), Chairman of the House Capital Markets Subcommittee, says that he knew about the AIG bonuses more than a month before they were issued. He further stated that, if Secretary Geithner claims that he only found out about the bonuses after they were issued, he should check with his telephone and mail departments. He repeatedly contacted Treasury about this issue for more than a month before the bonuses were awarded. The video is here.
