PING!

But Democrats said Mr. Bush's rosy picture of the overall economy was out of focus.

What else is new?

[Ben Ficklin]

As a certified, card carrying BushBot, I am irritated that Bush would be pandering to the populists.

[PetroniusMaximus]

The Pod-Bush has assumed the identity of the real Bush.

[Ieatfrijoles]

Just like Rush says he won't stop until everyone agrees with him. W won't stop until everyone disagrees.

Some CEOs get paid waaaaay too much, even if they do bad work.

[Little Ray]

Can we start by cutting the pay of Senators, Congresscritters, and their staffs?

[Antoninus]

Egads, what other Dem platitudes is this president going to co-opt? Maybe he wants to make abortions "safe, legal, and rare" too?

[LIConFem]

Ain't it wonderful to have a true conservative in the White House?

Yeah, I know... it could have been lots worse. But the (R) after the name doesn't mean squatzoli anymore.

President Bush yesterday said there is a growing "income inequality" gap between rich and poor Americans, and told companies they should rethink the giant compensation packages they offer top executives.

Usually the smartest move a CEO can make is screw up the company so much, they are forced to give him a lucrative buyout package so they can fire him.

[what's up]

To point out income inequality in the interest of promoting trade agreements...sounds good to me.

He's got a rough road ahead trying to get trade promotion auhority renewed with a Dem congress. If he doesn't get it, it will affect lower income workers adversely.

[dfwgator]

and told companies they should rethink the giant compensation packages they offer top executives

And that's going to help the "puuuur" exactly how?

[Armedanddangerous]

He's just doing this to try and get dems to llike him..but they would still have W if he drove up and down Times Square tossing bags of $100 bills out the windows on New Years Eve.

[CharlesWayneCT]

It's not really "populist" to warn executives that if they keep throwing money at non-performers, the workers will revolt and the resulting democrat majority will destroy our country.

[JamesP81]

Congress needs to reject protectionism.

Granted, but Congress should also reject totally barrier-free trade as well. That hasn't served us particularly well in the 15 years.

President Bush yesterday said there is a growing "income inequality" gap between rich and poor Americans, and told companies they should rethink the giant compensation packages they offer top executives.

"When people across the world look at America's economy, what they see is low inflation, low unemployment and the fastest growth of any major industrialized nation," he said. "There is one undisputed leader in the world in terms of economy, and that's the United States of America."

Gosh I wonder who provided that corporate leadership or did it happen by magic?

FDR wanted to limit salaries to $25,000. When someone asked Babe Ruth home come he was paid more money than President Hoover, he replied, "I had a better year."

Corporate execs get ego stroking salaries but how much does the government let them keep. Also, you might not like what they have to do to earn that money. It's not all skittles and beer.

[NeoCaveman]

OK who is this joker and what have they done with the real President Bush?

[BenLurkin]

Is this what to expect in the era of "post-partisanship"?

[rattrap]

I could have sworn there was an R beside his name when I voted for him. I need to make an appointment with the eye doctor...

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

Remind me again why I voted for him, twice.
