Obama and the Drug of Hope
By Bryann Alexandros
"This resort to violence from the skies even before Obama had initiated discussions with Islamabad is a bad sign. It is not clear if Obama really believes that the fractious tribes of the Pakistani northwest can be subdued with some airstrikes and if he really believes that U.S. Security depends on what happens in Waziristan."

Only the "official" compensation will fit the limits imposed. Those big-money guys will find a way to "creatively" compensate themselves, believe me. They are all going to retire RICH on OUR tax dollars, courtesy of the U.S. Government. Obama's just going through the motions of "slapping their hands" in public. It won't make one bit of difference, in my opinion..

I agree with you FarSeer. He is making a public display of slapping their hands but you do not see anyone of them taking the money back and saying sorry. No they still have the money and they are going to keep it. After all the government gave it to them.
I think that Obama is just doing the same ole thing as all the other presidents before him. He talks about change but 85% of the people he has hired were on under Clinton.

And as FarSeer was correct, very little of it has to do with getting money into your pocket.
