The free market should have been allowed to gover the fate of the banks and their currupt administrators/managers. Pres. Bush began the socialism; Pres. Hussein will complete it.
Ford Motor Company is going to have alot of shakers and movers come calling. Sorry GM, you get the starbucks manager from down the street.

First Black President to mandate corporate salaries!
Loral Space,
in good classic fascist tradition,
pays off democrats to get some leaway in their operations.
