The bankers struggled to make themselves clear to the president of the United States.
Arrayed around a long mahogany table in the White House state dining room last week, the CEOs of the most powerful financial institutions in the world offered several explanations for paying high salaries to their employees — and, by extension, to themselves.
“These are complicated companies,†one CEO said. Offered another: “We’re competing for talent on an international market.â€
But President Barack Obama wasn’t in a mood to hear them out. He stopped the conversation and offered a blunt reminder of the public’s reaction to such explanations. “Be careful how you make those statements, gentlemen. The public isn’t buying that.â€
“My administration,†the president added, “is the only thing between you and the pitchforks.â€
================================================== ======
Really, Mr. President? Let's delve into that further.
There are now undeniable ties between your administration/campaign and groups like ACORN. ACORN is the same group that went to the homes of AIG and other bank execs in a blatant attempt at intimidation.
Bottom line, sir, is that YOU are part of the problem, stirring the pot the way you have been over the past several months. Several of these banks didn't even WANT the money, but you FORCED them to take it, and now you're putting scare tactics on them?
And we have 46 more months of this? I truly fear for our nation.
Edited: Because my English is noly good for sentences making.

Sparks, he may think that he stands between the COEs and the "pitchforks" . . . but who stands between the Dums and the guns?

Besides those who know how to use them? Not much. Just ask one of your Reps--McCarthy, I believe her name is?
Trust me, they want to take them away, REAL bad. Molon labe, ****ers.

Okay, I'm jealous. Now granted, Che-Porter hasn't jumped on the gun-grabbing bandwagon yet, but I wrote her about a year ago regarding HR 1022 from the last Congress. She comes back with a form e-mail saying how great it is, she's not against the Second Amendment, blah blah blah, she's all for hunting, but that people should be allowed to have (and I swear I'm not making this up) "a car bomb or a rocket launcher".
This woman, AND her staffers, are the biggest idiots in Washington--and THAT takes some serious work.

No that would be Walter B. Jones Jr. of NC. He was almost handed defeat in the primaries of 08, yet the strong conservative farmers that are democrats(what walter was) kept him in.
He continues to be one of the lone Republicans voting for the bullshit, but he's consistent

Either that or she's just one vindictive beyotch. Apparently they weren't threatened enough by it because they felt they had time enough to call the Manchester PD on this guy.
