20090129-Outrageous Bonuses
[Flynn's Editorial: How will Obama make these CEO criminals return their bonuses back to the taxpayer's? Who will enforce this 'change'? Why not freeze their bank accounts?]
Obama Expresses Outrage Over Wall Street Bonuses

BARACK OBAMA, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: I saw an article today indicating that Wall Street bankers had given themselves $20 billion worth of bonuses — the same amount of bonuses as they gave themselves in 2004 — at a time when most of these institutions were teetering on collapse and they are asking for taxpayers to help sustain them, and when taxpayers find themselves in the difficult position that, if they don’t provide help, that the entire system could come down on top of our heads, that is the height of irresponsibility. It is shameful. And part of what we’re going to need is for the folks on Wall Street who are asking for help to show some restraint, and show some discipline, and show some sense of responsibility.
The American people understand that we’ve got a big hole that we’ve got to dig ourselves out of, but they don’t like the idea that people are digging a bigger hole even as they’re being asked to fill it up.
And so, you know, we’re going to be having conversations as this process moves forward directly with these folks on Wall Street to underscore that they have to start acting in a more responsible fashion if — if we are to, together, get this economy rolling again.
There will be time for them to make profits, and there will be time for them to get bonuses. Now is not that time. And that’s a message that I intend to send directly to them, I expect Secretary Geithner to send to them.
And, you know, Secretary Geithner already had to pull back one institution that had gone forward with a multimillion-dollar jet plane purchase at the same time as they’re receiving TARP money.
We shouldn’t have to do that, because they should know better. And we will continue to send that message loud and clear.

The sun is coming out. Maw is cooking. Watched her prepare ingredients but my mind won’t remember much. The order of throwing stuff in varies. YeYo visits nest.

- having no equal; matchless; unrivaled.
- Peer”less\, a. Having no peer or equal; matchless; superlative. “Her peerless feature.” –Shak.
- Unvailed her peerless light. –Milton. –Peer”less*ly, adv. — Peer”less*ness, n.
- eminent beyond or above comparison; “matchless beauty”; “the team’s nonpareil center fielder”; “she’s one girl in a million”; “the one and only Muhammad Ali”; “a peerless scholar”; “infamy unmatched in the Western world”; “wrote with unmatchable clarity”; “unrivaled mastery of her art” [syn: matchless]
None is created equal!
As my previous blog entries mentioned, a jigsaw puzzle has interlocking pieces – each of different sizes, shapes and forms. By any means, no two pieces to the puzzle are the same. This would explain why ‘G-d’ could step back and appreciate his creation, which would be best completed when all the jigsaw pieces (us) are unified.
Why do you think there are differences with everyone and discrimination everywhere? It’s because that is the way of this insane world — its current design! Until every unequal pieces gets along, there is no unity and ultimately peace. It’s would be friggin’ boring if ALL were created equal.
That would mean ALL are clones of each other, where all living matter – plant, animal, people and amoeba – would be no different than self. How could anyone think that ALL look, act and think the same? It’s simply impossible.
I submit to you that y’all are disinformants, who are telling lies upon more lies to the innocent, less discerning minds and toward the five senses of any reasonable, sentient being like moi. Stop lying to everyone!
So just because someone vibrates at a higher frequency or ‘gifts’ the environment more so than others, doesn’t make that person any better or equal than the rest of us lazy, useless bottom feeders! What is on the bottom is on the bottom! What is on the top is on the top! There’s none of the ‘as above, as below’ crap!
That is why the illusion of having equal pay (and the ability to sue for unequal pay as per the recent bill signed in to law by Barack Obama) is stupid! Do you think a ‘Registered Nurse’ (R.N.), who has been senior for over ten years would agree to a ‘Licensed Vocational Nurse’ (L.V.N.) earning that much without experience? I think not!
Oh damn! I see why Obama was installed as the 44th President of the United States of America. He too is inexperienced and earning more than his ‘peers’. To me, it would be ‘acceptable’ to enforce the shameless CEO’s to earn no more than $400,000.00 per year that of Obama, who works much harder for the country in a worldwide arena.
And besides the socializing of America with the recent passing of the almost stimulus bill of $8.2 billion, as it stands, America is no more equal than the rest of the world. We should just get rid of the American government, let the whole world go bankrupt and install communism, the inevitable NEW WORLD ORDER (NWO). Now how do you like that – equality?
