Talent?

Where are they gonna go, anyway?

[a fool in paradise]

Let’s limit the salaries of former members of federal government too. Al Gore’s $100 ponzi warming scheme? The Clintons millions?

Double Standard?

The soup kitchen?

Dismay in general public over continued bailouts.

Dismay on Wall Street over Obama pay cap

Dismay? Dismay?? HAHAHAhahahahaaaa! What'd these idiots think he was gonna do? Don't they read the papers? Haven't they noted the daily headlines about the excesses of the top management of companies? Didn't they know that was just the press laying the groundwork for this socialist sh**?

[steve-b]

The people who managed the companies until they needed a bailout might leave?

Let them have one last indulgence -- spring-hinged doors that will stay open long enough to not hit them in the ass on the way out.

[Carley]

Especially with that comment that these proscriptions were only the beginning.

[Welcome2thejungle]

They shoulda thought about all this BEFORE contributing to the freaking Marxist.

Got that Jim Cramer?

[Obamageddon]

"their annual salaries limited to $500,000 dollars"

Obama didn't mention salaries, he said "compensation". I take that to mean the entire compensation package.

[dragnet2]

This is all a diversion, with the Federal government kicking up dust in an effort to deflect or obscure the cause of this melt down, when in reality, the Federal Government is the most corrupt of them all, and is the cause of this epic disaster.

[ml/nj]

Where are they gonna go, anyway?

Maybe to Fannie or Freddie? I hear they give eight figure bonuses.

If they had thought that asking for bailout money would result in slashing their compensation they would never have lived so close to the edge. The banks would not be teetering today. They thought they could just loot and have Uncle Sam clean up the mess. Now its too late. The banks need the money to survive and the executives have to take the pay cuts or hand over the jobs the affirmative action crowd who thinks $500,000 is a lot of money.

Check mate! Socialists 1; Capitalists 0

"Where are they gonna go, anyway?"

Have you seen those smarmy ads for that job website The Ladders. 100+K pay for 100+K talent?? Give me a freakin break, TALENT?? Itzhak Perlman has talent, not these clowns. These guys are to talent, what Kathy Griffin is to entertainment.

[Badeye]

Same thought here.

[QenBirQeni]

This is the most riddiculous thing I have ever heard. What the hell? Why stop at $500K. This capping of CEO salaries is a dumb idea. Who the hell is
advising him?

[April Lexington]

Prudent, profitable bankers across the country today are pulling in lending and reassessing the impact of making risky loans. None of them will want to end up asking the government for money after today. So, good luck finding any loan money! Loans only to the very solvent as of right now. Watch for the economy to continue shrinking.

Thanks Comrade Obama!

Instead of being punch drunk on some guy’s skin color, the north easterners should of researched a little better before voting. Florida sucks too and drank the kool/flavor-aid but the State usually does not get fooled twice unlike the NE which gets perpetually fooled.

[aruanan]

Wall Street and the business community gave a lukewarm response Wednesday to the US administration's plan to cap executive pay, fearing it may lead to a talent exodus and delay recovery in the finance sector.

This is because Obama is as clueless with respect to economic matters as Xixo was with respect to the civilization that produced a Coke bottle. But both guys have winsome smiles.

[UCFRoadWarrior]

I am sure they can learn to flip burgers at McDonalds....one of the few companies not losing money these days. And, maybe the Wall Street Whiners can learn a little about business, too...

[R0CK3T]

From each according to their ability to each according to their need.

0bamunism is a wonderful thing isn’t it?

The ONE has determined that others need it more than you - so what does he care if it ends up in a damaging hit of capability to some business?

They were probably just those filthy dirty profit taking leaches anyhow.

Zero wonders who would miss them anyway.
