I would suggest then, that these whinny CEO's get off their butts and get busy...They DO NOT want to come face-to-face with a POed Texan, who also happens to be the President of the U.S. !!
And if the shareholders don't "understand" their justification of these huge compensation packages, it could just be that they're not buyin' the BS anymore...
And as for the CEOs criticizing the speech, that's probably making the WH extremely happy! More ammunition taken away from the Dems...
