Obama's staff cashing in. More socialist sharing the wealth?

  1. Is Obama trying to jumpstart the economy by himself even before he is inaugurated?

  2. I think the only thing that Obama can do to please Republicans is die. You people are unreasonable. He can do nothing right according to you.
     
  3. Bush and Chaney gave hailiburten an blackwater billions
     
  4. All politicians give their favorites money and their favorites give them money. Why is anyone surprised.
     
  5. "I think it's a very nice gesture for people who slaved away and sacrificed for the past year," said one pleased ex-staffer.
    ====================

    Freudian slip? WTF? "Slaved away". Black berries? Wtf?

    Sadly you are probably right, and that is going to in the end hurt this country terribly. However, I think you could change GWB for Obama and Republicans for Democrats and say the exact same thing. He has done some good things, for example AIDs prevention, treatment etc in Africa, but it does not matter to you guys, he could never be good enough.
     
  7. We are in day 10 of the Obama era, it's dragging on.... stocks are down, he's spreading the wealth only to his insider buddies.. we are waiting for him to do one thing right..
     
  8. well, it is "change" afterall, that ppl are getting a bonus for achieving their goals. now he can point to that presedant in case we want to change corporate laws to pay bonus only when there is a profit?

    To Brandonf: I'm going to give you this: His work for Africa (The Continent :D) is probably the only positive thing that stands out from GWB's two periods.

    Obama is just waiting around at the moment, not even meeting G20-leaders etc. The era begins in January.
