Huh.

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

“Obama: I don’t ‘begrudge’ certain kinds of big bonuses”

You mean like the million dollar Nobel bonus you got for being a boot lick?

What did Obama do with his money? He isn’t supposed to keep it.

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac bonuses are probably the acceptable ones.

He was before it before he was against it but then changed his mind again.

Honestly, someone should come out with a $100 challenge:

Find me one statement that 0bama has made since, say July, 2008, and now.

That he has not directly contradicted.

You find me one single statement this SOB has made where he has not at some other point come out and said EXACTLY the opposite.

Anyone making that challenge could expect not to have to pay out more than $300.

Since Dimon and Blankfein are both good friends of Obama and big contributors whatever bonus they get is good. Obama is sure that he will be part of that action in the form of campaign contributions.

What he really meant to say was, “I just begrudge people keeping their hard earned cash.”

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

Does that include her kids, do you suppose?

"Though $17 million is “an extraordinary amount of money” for most people, Obama said, “there are some baseball players who are making more than that and don’t get to the World Series either, so I’m shocked by that as well.”

Well, yeah, that's a good point. It's not really a lot of money compared to what some baseball players make.

Especially too when you consider that the baseball players don't have to contribute nearly as much money to politics as the billionaire bankers do.

I guess it's all a matter of perspective.

We call them "favors" to Obama supporters.

Obama coddles bankers

His credibility sinks further as Democrats schmooze the lobbyists

In his year-end interviews with friendly news outlets like The Washington Post and National Public Radio, President Obama had a curious choice for his biggest accomplishment of the year: the bailout of the financial sector.

This guy is just plain dumb.

Now how is he going to justify sticking it to the guys in green suits?
