Huh.

Wasn't it just late last month that Obama called such bonuses "shameful?"

It bothers Obambi that his dim bulb whims aren’t instantly enforcable. After all, isn’t he the Emperor?

Well, today Michelle ma Belle added that fat children are a national security hazard.

Fat kids were a problem long before she said they were. It IS an epidemic. Just look around. This is a issue she, in their eyes, can't screw up. But, she will because she can't keep her big trap shut.

Some bonuses are more equal that others.

Obama probably cut a deal with leaders of the “TARP banks” that he would lay off the high bonus complaints if they agreed to go along with his financial system “reforms”.

Bonuses and TARP payouts to his cronies are just fine.
How else would you expect Zero to get kickbacks anyway?

The guys he’s not begrudging are his supporters.
Others he’s punishing for daring to not support him?

Since Obama was a lecturer in Constitutional Law, maybe he could show where in the Constitution it specifies the duties of the Chief Executive to begrudge or not the pay of anyone in the private sector.

The Federalist Papers are all over the need for energy in the executive, but are silent about any begrudging.

Maybe Obama thinks hes the President of Venezuela, because he isn't acting like the POTUS.

( Obama: I don't 'begrudge' certain kinds of big bonuses ) ... well, of course Obama and the Liberals.
Of course you don't " begrudge " liberals with a lot of money.
So long as it supports your liberal/communist agenda, you don't have a problem with it.

When Pelosi mouthed those infamous words a few years ago " the culture of corruption " we should have taken a hint that she was talking about themselves.....
At least they are living up to their words....
