Pot calling the kettle...Oops, I'm not supposed to say that.

So President Obama met with corporate big wigs yesterday and came out of the meeting saying how shameful and irresponsible their actions have been. He was specifically referring to the $18 billion in bonuses that were paid out over the last year. Two things: First off, it is no ones business what another individual receives as a bonus. Secondly, if the company was one of the bailoutees, who is to say that the person receiving the bonus was able to reduce the overall losses of the corporation. If I was to be asked to run a company facing stiff losses and was able to reduce those losses by a significant margin or even bring that company from the brink, why wouldn't I be able to receive an agreed upon bonus?

On a side note, the decrease in bonuses paid out by Wall St. is having a significant effect on New York's budget deficit. Who would have thought that the ultra-rich actually do contribute something worthwhile. Those evil rich people.

If our President wants to point fingers about shameless actions and irresponsibility, maybe he should begin within his own Party. This pork-ulus package that is being pushed is the ultimate in irresponsibility. How does contraception create stimulus? Wait, don't answer that. How does giving tax credits to illegal aliens create stimulus? When will infrastructure work such as bridge repair, wastewater treatment improvement, or power grid upgrades kick start our economy? The Democrats just don't get it.

As Rahm Emanuel said, "(y)ou never want a serious crisis to go to waste". The left is exploiting this situation to pull a fast one on the American public. They are attempting to stealth this pork-laden package through before anyone can really take notice. The hidden agenda of the Bill is to grow government and create new dependency and entitlements.

Some good news; groups such as The Heritage Foundation and Congressman like John Boehner have dissected and exposed the pork in the package and are spreading the word. The vote in the House that took place the other day was encouraging. No Republican voted for the package, and 11 Democrats crossed the aisle against it. This is not encouraging to our President. He was eager for bipartisan support. Now, if the package somehow makes it through, it will be Democrats that are on the hook for the outcome.
