Obama slams Wall Street, common sense on bonuses

January 30th, 2009

MSNBC:
“Shameful” —  President calls the $18.4 billion in bonuses paid last year ‘shameful’  —  President Barack Obama issued a withering critique Thursday of Wall Street corporate behavior, calling it “the height of irresponsibility” for Wall Street employees to be paid …

“Not Shameful-  Close to half of Obama’s stimulus package goes to union interests, and only about 10% of the money will be spent in 2009.  Talk about a ‘bonus’!  And they didn’t even have to work to get it!

You’d think Democrats wouldn’t want to start right out of the gate with the largest spending plan in history less than a year after they ridiculed Republicans for. . . reckless spending.    And you’d be wrong!
