I think they should demand the hearings. He probably was stopped since it would take up so much precious time that was needed to shove amnesty down our throats.

They do not want to lose elections in November so lets just get all those illegal aliens legitimized and flood the ballot box..........

Man, if I was one of these CEO’s,
I’d make sure that I had Waxman’s vote on Sarbanes-Oxley,

and say
“First, let’s get one question answered. Who answers to who? Me to you? Or you to the people, including me?”

“Sir, YOU insisted that we account for these costs,
now you’re rebuking us for doing it. Who do you think you are?”

They don’t CARE to do the math,
because it logically takes them past
the point in the issue where they
can claim moral superiority over
those that oppose them.

The mighty Nostrildamus knows all and sees all. He has no need for CEOs.

Remember when when Oliver North appeared before a Congressional hearing back in the Reagan years? He took the smarmy congress critters to the woodshed, kicking their butt every way but loose. Waxman had second thoughts when he came to the conclusion the CEO’s of some of America's largest corporations were gearing up for another Oliver North type congressional ass kicking.

For a good read and for your viewing pleasure go to HotAir. This is why we send Joe Barton to Congress and why he is running unopposed this year. He rips Waxman a new one.

The Waxman!

(with apologies to the Beatles Taxman)

Let me tell you how it will be
There’s one for you, nineteen for me
Cos I’m the Waxman, yeah, I’m the Waxman

Should five per cent appear too small
Be thankful I don’t take it all
Cos I’m the Waxman, yeah I’m the Waxman

If you drive a car, I’ll tax the street
If you try to sit, I’ll tax your seat
If you get too cold I’ll tax the heat
If you take a walk, I’ll tax your feet

Waxman!
Cos I’m the Waxman, yeah I’m the Waxman

Don’t ask me what I want it for
If you don’t want to pay some more
Cos I’m the Waxman, yeah, I’m the Waxman

Now my advice for those who die
Declare the pennies on your eyes
Cos I’m the Waxman, yeah, I’m the Waxman

And you’re working for no one but me
Waxman!

Nice post.

Companies that have incurred any damage (executive time, travel, hotel, CPA costs, loss of income, damage to reputation) should send Congress a bill, and if timely payment is not forthcoming, file suit.

Rank & File Democrats that listened to Obama, Pelosi and Reid urge them to destroy the American medical care system and with it, our great economy, will rue the day they passed “Obamacare”!!! Even the “not-too-bright” Waxman gets it.

Maybe Nostrildumbass was able to foresee how devestatingly the CEO’s would have cleaned his clock during these hearings.

Question 1: How could you dare come out with these wild claims of costs and write-offs when these provisions don’t even go into effect for four years?

Answer 1: Because our accountants and lawyers read the bill; did you bother to read it sir?
Answer 1a: Because we are required by laws that YOU passed to immediately account for the financial impacts of new legislation.

Uuuuhhhhh, no further questions.

LOL ! Maybe the Republican board members should demand the hearings.

EXACTLY!! GOP'ers should DEMAND the hearings go forward, ask (rhetorically) what the Dims are trying to hide. Talk about turning the tables!!
