Comments on: Obama Calls Wall Street Bonuses "Shameful"

[nycsense]

I_H_Libturds,

Obviously, you have nothing intelligent to contribute, just a lot of name calling. You were probably that kid on the playground that stood by the monkeybars calling other kids names as they ran by.

Well, "O" I agree it is shameful. the question is, What are you going to do about it?

A President can take the country to war on the basis of false %u201Cproof%u201D. A President can suspend civil liberties on the pretext of national security. The President can also issue executive orders to Wall Street asking them to dislodge 16 Billion Dollars worth of bonus from their executives and bring them back to the US treasury. I believe Obama has the power to get the money back. Let him do it. Just calling it "shameful" does not cut it.

To reporter: Brian Montopoli

you state: "it is reportedly "unclear" if taxpayer money helped fund the bonuses."

To that I say: probably not, since commission monies is what funds bonuses in the financial firms.
However, the bailout relief fund, of which these same financial firms, are asking the government to bail them out of financial trouble WILL come from taxpayers money...

Obama should have left out the word "some" refering to his statemant "show some restraint, and show some disciple, and show some sense of responsibility". There again it takes backbone to say NO.

This an unacceptable stand with our current economic situation and where did the taxpayers money go?

The fvcking word is DISCIPLINE. NOT DISCIPLE. Try to use correct grammar and verbiage--even if the standards for reporting and journalism go to he11 in a handbasket. You don''t want to be a Palin.

Who gives a damnnn whether he uses the word "shameful" *********, dickkfull or anything else? This is a time for ACTION, NOT WORDS. Obama''s censure is MEANINGLESS. Why the fvck should those who got million dollar bonuses care about his little "speech"?

It is as toothless as an old lady shaking her umbrella at a serial killer and saying "shame on you" while doing NOTHING to turn the guy in and make him pay for his crimes and make him stop.

Have we become a nation of inert idiots? Why isn''t Congress demanding a full accounting for funds, stopping all further funds and threatening companies with jail or confiscation of assets if they do not return the monies?

Because Congress and Wall street are feeding at the same trough, that''s why. Watch those SEnators whose income changes over the next few years--exponentially growing. People like Clinton ect who went from 120K in the bank when leaving office, to over 100 million in just 8 years--you don''t do that giving a few 20K speeches or writing a book--but kickbacks from firms--that will do it. They are all crooked and until he says more than "tsk, tsk'', "All" will have to include Obama.

He criticizes Wall Street for bonuses but has a tax evader as Secretary of Treasury??
I guess evading taxes is not shameful. Although Biden did say not wanting to pay more taxes is Unpatriotic.

Barack Obama has criticize Financial America for handing out billions of worthless dollars in "bonuses" while the average people in this country are suffering.

Naturally, the banks making up Financial America could care less what Leader Obama thinks so long as they get billions of taxpayer dollars handed to them so they can continue their greedy ways.

After all, Finance America, like Corporate America, subscribes to the programs of the neocon Fascist Nazi Republican Party and the former-Great Emperor Bush II which simply said is:

I CHEAT ''EM AND HOW!!!!!!!!!

HAIL OBAMA!!!!

[brannigon]

THE QUESTION IS; WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT, MR PRESIDENT? JUST MENTION IT AND LET IT GO ON? OR DEAL WITH THESE NARCISSTIC DEMI GODS WHO THINK THEY CAN DO ANYTHING THEY WANT? ITS ABOUT TIME THIS INSULT WAS STOPPED. WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT, OR IS THIS JUST MORE GOOD BULL ****? JUST DON''T TALK ABOUT IT; DO SOMETHING!!!!

Financial "industry" is a service. The value it add to economy is guiding investment to build wealth and new technology. Instead it has become a cassino where gaining profit by any means is the motive and people are paid huge amounts to do that. It has become a drag on the economy and the resourceful American workers
