Apparently Obama doesn't know anything that is going on in his administration. He's just along for the ride.

Time to cut the pay of Congress, the Blight House, etc...because their “stimulus” Act has been a dismal failure. SO...why pay for THIS failure—I mean, lead by example, pathetic Marxists.

So we can assume all those “orders” to cut private wages have NO AUTHORITY behind them ....

“Apparently Obama doesn’t know anything that is going on in his administration. He’s just along for the ride.”

Obama is PINO (President in Name Only). Others are setting the agenda and calling the shots.

Seriously...he’s done nothing but “live high off the hog”. Latin parties, world jet setter...he’s done crap because he’s too incompetent to do anything other than party.

If Feinberg is merely Obama’s Special Master for Compensation, a position that did not have to pass through Senate confirmation hearings, then by what authority did he make such a huge decision affecting so much and so many?

And where is the Pay czar given any constitutional authority to administer or withhold treasury funds? He is not confirmed or vetted by congress to handle money issues.

I think the people should vote a pay decrease for congress.
Who gave them the right to raise their own wages and benefits?
The people give, and the people can take away.

Just a warmup to when Obamacare is passed - since it is NOT HIS bill, the Congress is going to take all the criticisim during the 2010 election year after the tax has started to be collected. Obumer could care less if the Dems get thrown out of Congress - he knows that without a Veto Proof Congress the GOP can do nothing to reverse the policies he has passed between Jan 20, 2008 and Jan 1, 2011.
