Talking tough but stepping gently, the Obama administration rejected direct intervention in corporate pay decisions Wednesday even as officials argued that excessive compensation in the private sector contributed to the nation’s financial crisis

Wait a minute, I thought you far right wingers were against government intervention in the private sector?LOL

Now your complaining that President Obama did not step into the private sector!!!LOL You guys need to get your party line straight. Maybe get your priorities in order before 2012.

I knew you guys were in disarray but this maybe worse than even I suspected.LOL

I was hoping to see caps on salaries. Stockholders and investors don't have any say and boards rob the corporations with high salaries, bonuses and stock options. < :-)

thanks taka but have gotten lazy with punctuation after so many years programming in c++ and writing unix scripts.

anybody know what Obama is doing to curtail oil prices? I remember you all beating George Bush up pretty hard when the oil speculators drove up the price the last time. that was really what put the world economy in a tailspin. its possible it will shoot up over $200 a barrel. no hope for a recovery if it goes up much further.

A "special master of compensation" decides US executives pay. Did we slip into a parallel universe, or what?

VOR:

" anybody know what Obama is doing to curtail oil prices? "

Licking the boots of King Fahd? The last bow was not deep enough.

" I remember you all beating George Bush up pretty hard when the oil speculators drove up the price "

That was Bush. Different standards apply.

VOR, WilliB - why the usual? - complain, complain...nothing constructive.

How about offering something constructive?

Pretty much all we've been getting from conservatives since the election has been bitterness, angry posts, frustrated outbursts and not much else.

Some constructive posts would be great.

Obama's plan is social engineering at its worst. Just ask any former communist country.

haha, you are kidding right. Easiest job in the world is to criticize. You guys did it for 8 years, now its time for us to have all the fun even though JT has suddenly put the brakes on calling the president funny names when a Democrat became president. Thats okay, we'll manage. A hearty shout out to my fellow defenders of the American way of life.

I was hearing that the price on oil might get back up to $85. a barrell but nothing like this $200. per. I don't think that with the interest of pushing hybred vehicles and electric cars, the people controlling oil prices don't want to give more reasons to piss off the public even more to go even faster to alternate fuel cars. < :-)

anybody that listens to anybody on the left for financial advice is out of their minds. if you are sitting on the sideline, easy money in oil futures right now. get in now and sell at 120 or before the end of the summer.

I'm enjoying watching so many young Lefties try and defend Obama's already disastrous record.

And the conservatives did so much better with the stockmarket, banks, insurance groups and policing themselves. It's the ones who control the money, the ones who have no salary caps, who ran the hedge markets and who come up with Ponzi schemes and derivitives who sank the financial markets.

Yep you could do so much better then listen to me. < :-)
