And Feinberg was never approved by the Senate, either.
Raw usurpation of power here.
He’s an Obama czar, that makes it an Obama decision.
what a joke.
The czars work directly for the President. Who are they kidding?
I guess Obama has stimulated the economy for executive recruiters!;-)
So?! He is part and parcel.
You think Feinberg can so much as take a piss without permission from Obama, Axelrod, and Emanuel?
This game has been played by Obama before, trying to blame Holder for the CIA prosecutions while saying he had nothing to do with it.
Yeah, and Tony Soprano didn’t shoot Big Pussy either.
1) Obama appoints Feinberg to do something
2) Feinberg does it
3) The press says Obama is not behind the it
Truman: The Buck Stops Here
Obama: Pass the buck? What buck? I don’t know about the buck? You’re not a real journalist if you try to talk about the buck (which doesn’t exist any how) or what I did or didn’t know about the buck.
Uh huh. And Holder decided to prosecute the CIA interogators on his own. Obama couldn’t stop him!
We see a pattern here. “Present” Obama does not want to be accountable for any decision.
What happens if any/all of the seven companies say:
“F.U. Mr Fienberg, you have no authority to dictate business policy. We will continue to operate in the best interest of our shareholders. Our compensation system is none of your concern,”
????
(it’s what I would do, very loudly)
HOW in the HELL is this America??????? How can ONE person (OBAMA) in the Executive Branch reach his hand into the private sector and DICTATE how much money someone can make??
This is outrageous. It's beyond outrageous. It's absolutely Orwellian. It's so UNAMERICAN I'm having a tough time wrapping my mind around it.
I agree, lets start with all politicians and their lavish spending first !
So now Obama will try Alinsky tactic number what now? Stand by an action in his administration, don’t stop an action but allow a news story for him to say I didn’t think this up and take action.
ANY ACTION or comments Obama, his administration, his commie czars; says... does... feels... IS OBAMA.
We are not in Chicago any freaking more. You can’t play woosey pansy (only when another corrupt thug member gets cought-hide) in the WH.
“As we work toward getting ourselves out of the recession, I hope that Wall Street and the marketplace doesn't think that we can return to business as usual,” he said.
“The buck stops with me,” Obama told reporters.
When will Obama limit lobbyist pay?
This bodes asking - who is REALLY in charge of the Government? Is the Messiah just a figurehead? Are the real decisions being made by the Czars, with the figurehead’s approval?
Pretty much exactly how China was ruled in the 60’s-70’s. Mao was neutered powerwise. The gang of four made all the political decisions. Mao tacitly backed everything, because he was the party figurehead, and basically had an obligation to.
So then is Obama going to reverse the decision out of principle?
The Czars don’t work for the government, still less for the country; they work directly for Obama. They report to him and no one else. It’s a back-channel, personal relationship. They were never confirmed by the senate, and they do not hold real positions in the government.
So, whether or not this guy consulted with The Boss before doing this is irrelevant. He is Obama’s Capo. Obama put him in place. Obama can remove him at whim. Obama is responsible.
But as a malignant narcissist, Obama thinks he’s only responsible for the good & successful things, never the bad things or the mistakes. Because the Perfect One never makes mistakes.
Hate to break it to them, but Czar action=Obama action. He picked them, he’s responsible for their actions. Unlike Congresscritters and those they approve, the buck stops at ZERO.
