www.google.com WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama says it is irresponsible and shameful for Wall Street bankers to be paid huge bonuses at a time when the American public is dealing with economic hardship. The president reacted harshly Thursday to reports that corporate employees got paid more than $18 billion in bonuses last year. Said Obama: “That is the height of irresponsibility. It is shameful.” The president said he and new Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner will have direct conversations with corporate leaders to make the point. Obama said there is a time for corporate leaders to make profits and get paid bonuses but now is “not that time.” Still worried we’ll wake up and George will be president at www.michaelmoore.com

Oh please Obama…save your saliva. We know you’re in bed with Wall Street and Big Business. Who are you trying to fool? The moment you appointed Timothy Geithner (ex-Goldman Sachs and ex-Federal Reserve Chairman) as Treasury Secretary, it was clear who you supported…Sellout…

I guess OBAMA doesn’t want to be president in 2012.
If this whole thing about “CHANGE” means we back down to extreme neocons, IM VOTING THIRD PART in 2012.

Fuck all these weak knee Democrats and asshole Republicans. We need to get robust health care reform with a strong public option through Congress now. President Obama, you must do what Sen. Kennedy worked his entire life to achieve, provide universal health care for all Americans.

Heb 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
Rev 14:7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come.
Rev 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
Joh 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father,but by me it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Not sure why some of you think Obama is not fit for this job.
He was senator and b4 a professor. Lets see if he is able to clean up the sys.
Ron Paul wld ve been a better deal, imo. But we’ve voters who r not I’d say able to see anything better from their IQ stand point – these r plenty.

hey, hey, ho, ho,
Timothy Geitner has got to go.
Impeach Obama now!

man, i dont mean to rude or something, but thats an entirely racist comment, i come from a country of mixed races, and we all interact as equal, is far from perfect of course but at least calling black (negro, mulato, moreno) to anyone is like calling them mate in australia, not an insult at all, and i think thats a border that USA will find hard to breach cause of the denial of the idea of letting racism go, for all the hatred involving all races

The current mob of thugs in DC are a real testament to the hypocrisy of liberals. When Bush had a Repub Congress, the libs whined about a “Rubber Stamp Congress” passing everything Bush wanted, but now the shoe is on the other foot, so the libs are curiously silent, and the libs are indeed rubber stamping all of Obamas pet payoffs to ACORN and his other cronies. I can’t wait to see how $4billion to ACORN stimulates the economy and creates those 4 mil jobs Obamas been ranting about.
Geographer76 on March 4th, 2010 2:01 am
mo,
Actually I did. TARP (started by Bush) was a shitty deal and it still is, Bush was too slow responding to the tsunami and in reacting to Katrina. The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were conducted as peacekeeping missions not WAR. Bush screwed up a lot, Obama is far worse. Liberals are hypocrites in that they slam Bush for what he did but applaud Obama when he does the same things Bush did. Any questions?
armydipr on March 4th, 2010 2:50 am
first off hes done nothing but talk negativly and use the word hope and change when something changes ill give him proper repesct, however his charisma is not something i buy, remember hitler gave wonderful speeches too, look where it got germany…..
armydipr on March 4th, 2010 3:18 am
i told everyone bush was a moron didnt like him dont like obama, but im not fully against him either ill let him have a chance, however his charisma doesnt fool me, hitler had charisma too, not to mention, the president without
the house and congress cant screw up too bad they all screw us together…..
