^^ I'm afraid there is really nothing the gov can do about the executive payouts. It's sickening to hear what some of these jackholes are making for driving their companies down the tubes but a contract is a contract and should be honored, imo. It's not right in the least bit what the boards of these companies have approved. But yeah, this whole bailout thing was such bullshit.
My biggest problems with this thing is that:
1. It doesn't fix the problem, it just allows the same guys to keep making the same mistakes. They don't have the incentive to gain new perspective on their industry which would improve their offerings and strengthen their position in the future. If they had been able to go bankrupt and sell the company then new owners step in naturally take stock of the company and try and improve it.
2. Now our Government has not simply the desire to see these bailed out companies succeed, they actually have a duty to make sure they succeed. This just makes my skin crawl. So basically, Flawed Company A is government favored over Stable Company B. Imagine the public uproar if a bailed out company fails, losing the billlllions of tax payer dollars with it. Congressional heads will be rolling. Their response will either be to give it more free money, or let it fail. It's a never ending rabbit hole. It's like if you're being washed down a river and you can either choose to hang onto a strong swimmer or a fat guy ....

Fuck Pelosi.
Her and Reid have made the Democrats the worst fucking majority caucus in my lifetime in the Congress. These two shitheads couldn't lead ..well, I'm having hard time coming up with an effective metaphor here that describes their utter ineptitude..but they couldn't lead a horse to water... They've gotten railroaded left and right by the minority Republicans the last two years, and when they were the minority party they couldn't do shit to stop the Republicans. Failed fucking leadership front to back...
And now, NOW, Pelosi goes on some power-tripping rant about not letting Obama's administration "set the tone"???
Fuck her. Seriously, fuck her.

"NBC Washington bureau chief Mark Whitaker said that reporters have not been aggressive enough during Obama's post-election pressers.
"Our job is to hold him to account," Whitaker said, adding that he thinks "we're going to have to get tougher."
Newsweek's Jonathan Alter followed up: "We need the Sam Donaldsons of the world."

Hold. Him. To. Account.
I see, so the media gives George Bush a fucking pass for 8 years, you know, through two fucked up wars, a screwed up economy and a shredded constitution..and now they decide to grow some balls when a democrat comes back into office.
I hate these fucks. I really really do. Hey jackholes, Bush is still in office for 30 odd days. Maybe you want to start practicing this new fangled giant he-man balls of Holding to account power on the lame duck, no.

How times change.
"I've abandoned free-market principles to save the free-market system." -- George Bush, Dec 17, 2008
Forty years ago, in 1968, an American major after the battle of Ben Tre in Viet Nam was quoted by Peter Arnett as having declared, "It became necessary to destroy the town to save it."

Gay leaders are pissed at Obama because he chose Rick Warren to give the prayer at his inaugeration. Kind of ironic, first he got in trouble for following a preacher who was too left wing, now too right wing. I guess you can't win lol

Korean Politics. Serious Business.
Apparently one side wanted to sign a NAFTA like free trade agreement with the US and locked the opposition party out. These guys in the picture were the opposition party.
- Conservative parties always like to lock people out for some reason. I wonder why.TheBlueOne
