Well actually he wanted to regulate Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac but the Dems didn't want to and saw there were no problems at all. Don't take my word take the words right out of their mouths.

whether you are a Dem or a Rep you can't deny the words that come out of peoples mouths!!!

Sorry I do not like big government AT ALL. I don't care who is in the office I do not like it. I call a spade a spade whether I like a person or not. I didn't care for a ton of shit Bush did. He spent WAY too fucking much money and kissed way too much ass. I do not like the money this administration wants to spend either. But I know now everyone is on a government high. It is truly scary.

Noecon cooliad??? I just said that both administrations are fucked. See how you took it the way YOU wanted too and not the way I said it??? This is exactly what I am talking about. If you say anything bad about the government now you are a considered wrong. Gee I don't think it was too long ago when people were saying that about Bush too!!! SAME OL' SAME OL'!!! :1orglaugh

It's window dressing. It's going to be based on the honor system with no enforcement. Therefore, CEOs are going to be paid in the same way they are now (which is on average 400 times more than their front line employees according to Lou Dobbs).

all that poster said that you replied to was that we should all hope this administration fixes the fuck ups of the last.


and that is a hope we should all have- you went on your diatribe against that and that is why i replied the way i did. you can be negative all you want and have your doomsday view that the world is fucked (welcome to neoconvillle) , but many of us have a view of hope and optimism that things can get better. :)

To be honest, perhaps those skilled VPs are better off at companies that don't need hundreds of billions in taxpayer funds to stay in business.

Didn't see Bush there ,,,

Today, it is the president Obama that made that statement, not some other people ...

And your clip refers to Fanny Mae, not to cut pay of executives .... Bush wanted to increase them , mainly with tax cuts...

:2 cents:

Yeah,

#1.) The companies took the money, welcome to socilaism
#2.) A day late, and a dollar short (literally) Obama, the damage has already been done. Most hands already got what they wanted out of the national cookie jar

Fuck the companies + Fuck Obama

This is Obama's PATCO moment.

Just like in 1981, when the air traffic controllers went on strike and Reagan fired them all, and that signaled something much larger, a shift in power away from organized labor towards business.....this move by Obama does the same thing, but swinging the pendulum back the other way.

where are these companies that are hiring? if you took bailout money that means you sucked. Who is going to hire someone who sucks? which company is going to say "yes let's hire that gy who ran the other company so badly they needed bailout money."

bad move by obama, but not surprised. obama is the introduction of socialism in america. this is not the time for protectionism.

also there is going to be a lot of different opinions on this. not gonna bother opening this one up.

are you retarded? that's like someone bitching about the free government cheese they got because it wasn't brie. Sorry if YOU want to give these guys more of YOUR money go write them a check. They've already got enough of mine. These companies rather lay off 1000 workers making 30,000 a year than cut some guys pay from 50 million to 20 million which is the same amount. And let's face facts the higher up in managment you are the dumber you are. That's why they are in mangement. If they could do actual REAL work they'd be doing it. They put them in mangement to lessen the damage.

oh well, nice move but ... we all know companies have "golden parachute" programs, dont we? anyways, it s a good idea ...

they took tax money,its not like he is telling apple or google what to pay their team.these people wouldnt have job if they didnt get the government bailout.

They shouldn't cap the wages. They should fire anyone that is worthless and hire people who have a proven track record with recent accomplishments.

and they aren't going to work for free.

That's the thing right there, isn't it... without the bailout, they'd be making $0 and have to go find work elsewhere anyway.

They failed, they should be happy they are making anything at all.

"What they are worth" are you for real ??? These asshats put these companies into bankruptcyy, !!!! My fucken dog could do that for free. These so called executives are failures in business and should be nothing more that McDanalds employees.:2 cents::2 cents:

There will always be someone willing to do the job cheaper.. doesnt mean they are less competent. The previous CEO's proved incompetent at their ridiculous salaries and lavish spending.

Who the fuck balks at 500K? Sorry, but they could still live the lavish life on half of that.
