I think the bonuses are just contractual bonuses. We, average people, think of bonuses as a reward for a job well done, but at the CEO level of those companies, that's not how they think of them. To them it's just another way of receiving a portion of their pay.

Obama's team is looking into how they can block or recoup that money but I don't think they can. It's in their contracts, they are legally entitled to it.
