Maybe this will help you understand the events better:

AIG had no problem paying the government more than the TARP amount because the government saved them. Critics say, as you can read in the link, that they should have paid even more. The only difference is that AIG asked for help, FNMA was told they needed help.

The article I linked is thorough and I believe it to be accurate.
