Ah, the irony!

‎First Family retreats for last night of vacation

"Members of the press did not have access to the beach outing today and were kept on a bus in Friedman's driveway, according to White House press pool reports."

Hahahahahahahaha! After all the work getting Obama elected and spinning for him afterwards, you get to sit in a hot bus in someone's driveway while he and his family frolics on a private beach on which you, the Hired Help, aren't allowed.

Just saw the headline:

U.S. Said to Order Deep Pay Cuts at Bailed-Out Companies

In part:

Under the plan, which will be announced in the next few days by the Treasury Department, the seven companies that received the most assistance will have to cut the annual salaries of their 25 best-paid executives by an average of about 90 percent from last year. Their total compensation — including bonuses and retirement contributions — will drop, on average, by about 50 percent. The companies are Citigroup, Bank of America. . .

I stopped reading at that point and will celebrate Vishnu's karmic engineering being done for Roberta X on her favorite bank folks.

I'm smiling as I knew that the Progressive Socialist/Fascists would not be able to resist meddling in the companies who were foolish enough to accept the Government's money. The fuckwits damn well knew there were strings attached. . .
