Shameful (The White House Blog)

That’s what Wall Street bankers pulled down in bonuses over the past two months, according to a report from the New York State comptroller -- even as many of these institutions received billions in taxpayer dollars.

"That is the height of irresponsibility. It is shameful," President Obama said today, following a meeting with Vice President Joe Biden, Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner, and the rest of the economic team.

This is an AMAZING transition that a White House reacts so quickly and doesn't pull ANY punches spotlighting wreckless and immoral behavior on the part of the greedy fuckers who ruined our economy. This is a different kind of President, and I am glad to be alive to see it.

1. Halleluejah!

I keep having too pinch myself to believe that these days are actually unfolding. President Obama is truly awesome. As a skeptical native Chicagoan, I am truly amazed, proud and humbled by our President.

and were the biggest donors to the inaugural. Next time, we'll have a weenie roast on the Mall. :)
