Obama’s Own Blind Spot About Bonuses
“President Barack Obama said it was “shameful” for Wall Street to walk away with $18.4 billion in bonuses last year . . .
. . . in the depths of a recession. Leaning his elbows on his knees, with his mouth clenched, Obama lashed out at the executives and employees who were found by the New York state comptroller to have earned the sixth largest bonus haul on record last year.
“That is the height of irresponsibility,” Obama said before a meeting with Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner.”
We will skip over the part about responsibility and tax cheat Timothy Geithner being mentioned in the same sentence.
Instead, we will remember that the selfsame Mr. Obama gave his campaign staff bonuses after the November election.”
Go read the whole post, it is maddening.
