One is left wondering where B HO’s indignation is over the 6 Democrats who received Caribbean vacations from Citigroup after they approved bail-out bucks.

It’s hard to love Wall Street CEO’s, but let’s remember a few things:

- no single company can ever be big enough to ruin the American economy. But Barney Franks did.

- greedy as they are, CEO’s do work, and nobody forces the Boards to pay them. Do the Kennedys work? DoesParis Hilton work? Do the Kerry’s work? Not a chance. They are parasites, and the tiny handful of families epitomized by them control 25% of the wealth of the country.

- It is virtually impossible to hide salaries or income from the tax man. CEO’s are paying BIG taxes. But you know what, liberal gazillionaires are paying virtually nothing. Why? They don’t work, and it’s easy to cheat when you don’t get a W-2. Witness….Geistner.

- our entire economy is based on the ability to score big. Take that away, and you have Communist Russia

- no matter how stupid Wall Street guys are for taking big bonusses in hard times, they don’t even come close to the stupidity of plunging the entire country into humonguous debt to distribute condoms and build windmills. The Moron is an idiot a million times as stupid as any Wall Street guy ever.

All this Wall Street bonus crap is about is class warfare. The Moron and his puppet-masters want to distract the public from the issue at hand, which is the incredible stinking Depressions Stimulus package.

One of the perks you get for being a high rolling CEO on Wall Street or any other company is the extra pay. Where would be the incentive to work harder if there is no reward for your effort?

I must have missed the story about hid staffers getting bonuses back then because I would have been really ticked. I have been fighting a fifty dollar donation to the “ones ” campaign for months. It just showed up on my credit card bill mysteriously .visa says oh well My bank says oh well. The “ones ” campaign says oh well. My only recourse is to sue the campaign, but I would imagine that it has no money having all been paid out in bonuses

Also in the article, Senator Dodd promises to get the money back that the companies paid in bonuses if it came from the bailout. I suppose if they had to give back their emergency bailout funds at this point they’d probably go bankrupt. So much for rescuing these companies because they are supposedly too big to fail, right? Oh yeah that’s right, it’s not that they’re too big to fail, it’s that they’re too big to be allowed to operate without the oversight and control of the Democrat Party.

Come to think of it…how long before citizens Will Be Required to join the Democrat Party before they can run a car company, bank, railroad, post office, etc.?

Not that that has happened before. Oh, wait, Nazi Germany, Baathist Iraq. Hmmm. How do you think I’d look in a brown shirt?

“people who slaved away”

And the beat goes on…

Obama managed to get slavery into the discussion, even if he turned out to be the slave master…
