So how would Obama replace him? It’s not like there’s a big supply of good candidates.

"So how would Obama replace him? It’s not like there’s a big supply of good candidates."

There are many business leaders who would jump at this chance. Bush 43 replaced Paul O'Neill when he had to, but I don't think team Obama is willing to face the chaos and embarrassment so soon.

Besides, if you read the Drudge story carefully, you'll see that these bonuses are actually Dodd's kitty. He was the one that stripped out the bonus provision and put in the exemption that allowed the $165 million.

Not only that, this whole bonus thing is a red herring designed to distract people from asking where the $173 billion went. That's the real scandal, and if anyone thinks the government will ever recover a penny of it then they're fools. A lot of it, $93 billion to be precise, is already sitting in foreign banks.
