I found it interesting that Leno also talked to Obama about this. He basically asked, "If the Congress can decide to tax 90% on these bonuses, what's stopping them from thinking 'Hey, I don't like that group, let's tax them this much..'" Naturally, Obama kind of danced around the question, and then started talking about changes in tax policy, steady progress and long-term economic growth.
I know I wouldn't want to be stuck answering that question on a late night talk show.
