What's even more interesting is what Obama just said on ABC nightly news...loosely quoted Barry said "We've got people feigning outrage about these bonuses (meaning GOPr's, but didn't want to do anything about executive compensation two or three years ago"

Barry was speaking extemporaneously, so we all know how poorly that can go. But, I hope someone, anyone asks him if this is a prelude to Congress implementing some kind of compensation guideline for PRIVATE US COMPANIES. That is what the implicit message was in his speech.

When AIG was a privately run company, the compensation of its executives was none of Obama’s damn business.

That would be the strongest attack yet by the socialists. Highly compensated are corporate leaders. Companies compete for their services. If you’re going to kill capitalism, go for the head, huh.
