Obama Decries Wall Street Bonuses

Monday, February 2, 2009

Last week, Barack Obama called Wall Street executives who awarded themselves $18.4 billion at the end of 2008 as "shameful." What do you think?

Jerrod Kissin,
Systems Analyst
"He was being presidential but I would have been fine with him calling them fucking assholes."

Gina Ahlquist,
Production Planner
"Damn right it's shameful! These guys should hire some people to hang their heads in an act of contrition."

Jeffrey Brooks,
CEO
"Unfortunately, as a corporate executive, I don't possess the emotional faculties required to empathize with other humans or to register this feeling you know as 'shame.'"
