Comments on: Obama Calls Wall Street Bonuses "Shameful"

[sparks224]

The Welfare Kings of Wall Sreet.

Now we know all that "Free Market" talk is B.S.

hahahahahaha.

It''s going to be really fun watching all you psychos completely lose your friggin minds during the next 4 years.

Talk is cheap!

If it''s shameful, make them pay it all back, otherwise just shut up!

[dumdnc]

Fannie mae and freddie mac are shamless, barney frank is shameless, chris dodd is shameless.
Having members in YOUR adminstration that don''t pay taxes is shameless. Where''s the story on daschle and his non-payment of taxes??
Having queen nance fly around on a big A jet that she DEMANDED to the tune of over 5 million a year is shameless.
There is more than enough shame to go around.

I just love this rebuttal in the news today from an employee of the bank. "What are you supposed to pay them?" Weisberg asked. "Or are you not supposed to pay them? And if you don''t pay them, how do you expect that employee to stay employed at that company?"

Gee I have a real difficult thing to tell ya partner...go ahead and quick!! You ain''t gettin'' another taxpayer dime in bonus. And guess what? Do you think all of us in other business sectors are looking for bonus and payraises..especially when are companies are not profitable??

Time to wake up...it''s a new day.

President Obama has to be careful.

He has to remember that these so-called ''bankers'' are nothing but a pack of gangsters that will kill him.

For President Obama and other officials in his administration just calling these actions of taking billions as "shameful" is not going to fix the problem. He must act and make it clear to all these CEO''s (chief Embezzlement Operators) and others to return tax payer''s money within two weeks otherwise they must go to jail. This is getting really ridiculous. It looks to me there is no accountability for the big crooks in wall streets, banks, insurance, etc. except for the little guys who may go to jail for a traffic violation or at most for stilling a small slice of pizza.

[old300d]

So who voted to give them the money ?

If I remember right the people were against giving them all that money but Obama and them voted to give it to them anyway,

Mr. President, Shut the Hell Up!

Less than two weeks into the current administration I, for one, would wish this little man Obama would shut his mouth. For all of the supposed eloquence possessed by this fool, he has yet to say anything constructive. It is one thing to state the truth %u2013 I am all in favor of stating things as they are %u2013 but to constantly spew forth a string of negative remarks, espousing nothing but the worst aspects of our current economic calamity, is nothing but counter productive. When one is in possession of an instrument as capable of molding public sentiment as the bully pulpit the responsibility to elevate and uplift are paramount, especially considering our present state of affairs. This is not to say that one should engage in falsifying the circumstances, for that would be the height of blind irresponsibility, but one of his primary responsibilities is to uplift the population and provide hope to those in dire circumstances. Despite all of laudatory commentary concerning his rhetorical abilities on the campaign trail, as of yet he has been nothing more than a prophet of doom and gloom.

IMO, one of the conditions of all bailouts should be all CEOs are fired. In addition, I would like to see another condition put into place. Any business, regardless of who they are, asking for a gov''t bailout should expect to be reorganized into a co-op. That would guarantee these "executives" would be put on the same playing field as the rest of the employees. Take the decision-making power away from them altogether.
