    Obama speaking now. He is (executive order?) capping salaries at bailed-out companies that are now, basically, owned by the Government. Also eliminating stock options for executives, eliminating 'golden parachutes,' requiring companies to come to White House hat in hand to get permission to implement major changes in management and financial operations. No bennies any more (health club memberships, cars, executive retreats, etc.) Leaves podium as reporters dare to call-out questions. A government big enough to give you anything you want is also big enough to take everything you have." -- Thomas Jefferson
