Obama Compares AIG to a Suicide Bomber!?!

Here is the quote at issue;

"“The same is true with AIG,” he said. “It was the right thing to do to step in. Here’s the problem. It’s almost like they’ve got — they’ve got a bomb strapped to them and they’ve got their hand on the trigger. You don’t want them to blow up. But you’ve got to kind of talk them, ease that finger off the trigger.”"

I think that came out a little weird.
