I followed up on the AIG bounus situation recently and found a few things. Chris Dodd (D-Conn) modified the stimulus bill at the last minute to providing a provision allowing the AIG bonuses to clear. The bill was soon passed by Obama, turns out that AIG's list of most lobbied in the last election are Obama #1 and close behind is Chris Dodd #2.
I think this article best describes the situation, never mind the name of the website, I found the article on google and at the bottom it links to the www.opensecrets.org so you can see the top contributors.
