You are absolutely wrong about that. The 18 Billion dollars was for bonuses in all three quarters where a profit and gains were made.

You can demonize them like Obama would, but the executives did perform well the first 3 quarters. The fact that the Democrat caused financial disaster occurred in the last quarter still does not cancel out the outstanding performance these executives achieved in the first 3 when there were Zero tax dollars involved. And if you actually check, you will see that there were no bonuses handed out to anyone for the 4th quarter of this year.

But go ahead, behave like a Democrat if you like and blame Free Enterprise and the fine working system they have developed over the last 80 years, for one very bad quarter of performance.

Of course there will be no bonuses coming in the future. Since the Government took control of the market.

Yeah. That's a lot of cash to pay in bonuses. But perhaps, it was 'earned'. Next, you'll take Obama to task for throwing one trillion dollars around to folks who haven't earned it, but may have supported his candidacy.

Slavery ended years ago, however, with this much cash, President Mobutu is assured of a plantation loyalty the likes of which any cotton-grower could only dream of. "F*ck the Freedom Train, I'm gettin' on the Gravy Train."
