Now Bush what about your buddies at ENRON? Worldcom?
What do you think of them?

[randalds]

Very ironic coming for the country's most incompetent CEO, George W. Bush. Which also makes him the most overpaid one himself.

"For Halloween buy her a trumpet and for Christmans give her a drum." I hear Dylan in the lyrics and see Bush leading a one-man parade in triumph over his brilliant economic success. Let's see: inherited four years of surplus - immediately plummeted to record deficits (440 billion the single year record), record trade deficits, skyrocketing foreclosure rates, tax cuts for the very same CEO's he now criticizes, out-sourcing seen in the loss of one in five manufacturing jobs, new jobs created at WalMart and their ilk at the "never-to-be-raised" minimum wage, the middle class under perpetual threat by burgeoning health care costs and out-of-control college tuition. Sounds like time to beat your drums and toot your trumpet to me Captain Codpiece.

This *** is right up there with Bush's plan to land people on Mars !

"In his remarks, Mr. Bush was expected to call for changes in enforcement of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act,"

That's the real gist of it, folks. The coporate crooks are trying anything they can to stay out of prison. The reason they don't want to sign their financial reports (a key provision in Sarbannes-Oxley) is because they know that their books are cooked. Note how the CFO of Citicorp just "changed jobs" in a mysterious manner within that company, that's precisly timed with the new accounting year and she would have had to sign the financial statements for the first time in accordance with Sarbannes-Oxley. But the dirty crook ditched the CFO role, she must know that Citicorp is commiting major felonies.

And here comes dirty George Bush carrying the water for corporate felons once again. The man is so dirty, we should call him mud boy.

Bush is running out of smoke grenades!

Does he really think Americans are falling for his "I'm mad at CEO's for making so much money" bit.

Bush could give a ***.
Who is he to say what CEO's should get paid anyways? He can't tell corporations how to pay their officers.

Watch out CEO's! Bush is coming after you!

I think everybody should listen to bush as he was such a big success in private business.

According to The Post, while Cheney was defense secretary the Pentagon chose Halliburton subsidiary Brown & Root to study the cost effectiveness of outsourcing some military operations to private contractors. Based on the results of the study, the Pentagon hired Brown & Root to implement an outsourcing plan. Cheney became Halliburton CEO in 1995.

"In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the militaryindustrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist."
Dwight D. Eisenhower, January 17, 1961

Is there no depth of ignorance this man will sink to???????

[dallison7]

CBS/AP) A report by the Congressional Research Service undermines Vice President *** Cheney's denial of a continuing relationship with Halliburton Co., the energy company he once led, Sen. Frank Lautenberg said Thursday.
Halliburton has contracts worth more than $1.7 billion for its work in Iraq, and it could make hundreds of millions more from a no-bid contract it was awarded by the Army Corps of Engineers, The Washington Post has reported.

[skyhawk761]

This is typical of Bush and his administration, **** on the fire after the house has already burnt down. This is just a smoke screen to try and get peoples attention of his total fluck up in Iraq.

[middleman8]

Tis nothing for the "Decider" to take care of.

[gunownerdan]

If we are going to start paying our leaders based on their performance, many would be in debt!

[inventagod]

Bu$h bristles over capitalistic American business practices. Maybe things would be more acceptable if the USA was a fascist dictatorship?
