Look, when you think about cars, clothes, food. Do you seriously think the president pays for any of this. He doesn't have bills, he has perks too. He has a staff that could probably use a few less people, but no, we're paying for those. I'm surprised we don't have a white house ass wiper.

These guys are where they are at because they are really good at what they do. These guys run the biggest companies in the world, they're running multi-billion dollar companies, if they got a cap, they wouldn't have much motivation and most of them would end up quitting because that's like pennies to them.

Plus, they are paying taxes on these bonuses, which I know the argument will be well if taxpayer money is helping pay them, but if we didn't bail them out, they wouldn't be able to pay these execs, and there, a budget shortfall.

Great point. I wonder how much the President's salary would be if all these were taken into consideration. Certainly in the tens of millions...

Obama's book deal is going to be worth hundreds of millions.
