This is what REALLY happened to the African American woman at Senator Claire McCaskill's town hall meeting (Video)

The audacity of that man to just come up to someone snatch the poster and rip it up? WTF? Where is the justice? And Lady Claire, I like you and supported you, but you were WRONG on this on.

Senator Claire McCaskill (D-MO) schools them AGAIN on morning joe (Video)

or should it be morning joke? Anyway, Lady Claire should be the next POTUS, she is that good.

And I have to weigh in on Joe Scarborough who is trying to whip up hysteria around Obama and his movement on the financial market, or banks. These banks need to have stress tests and decisions need to be made on which ones will survive. No one expects Obama to snap his fingers and make irrational decisions, we had that from the last administration and we saw what happened. Obama has been in office what, 50 days? And Joe Scarborough is trying to make him appear or seem inept? The only one who is inept is the morning joke, himself, Scarborough.

Give Obama time, he was given this bullshit by the Bush Administration, period. And Scarborough the public KNOWS THIS.

Obama Administration reigning in the "fat cats", CEOs at these bailout banks

Lady Claire, that is Senator Claire McCaskill was on point when she went OFF on these bailout banks CEOs taking taxpayers monies and still spending it like "champagne and caviar".

Now reality is setting in. Obama was outraged at the lavish and excessive spending of these bailout out banks CEOs, these are the same bandits that ran to congress in September on the brink of full destruction; it was these same men who ran their banks irresponsibly to the ground but wanted a bailout.

We know what happened to the first half of the bailout money to these banks, NOTHING. They sat on the money, paid themselves bonuses, patted themselves on the back for getting the bailout money, have not eased the credit crunch and continue with tax payer’s money with the attitude as business as usual.

Now the Obama Administration is moving to cap these CEOs pay, as long as they come groveling to us, the taxpayers for bailout money.

President Barack Obama wants to impose a $500,000 pay cap on executives whose firms receive government financial rescue funds, a dramatic intervention into corporate governance in the midst of financial crisis.

The new restrictions, described by an administration official familiar with the new rules, are to be announced Wednesday morning at the White House. The steps set the stage for the administration's unveiling next week of a new framework for spending the money that remains in the $700 billion financial rescue fund.

"If the taxpayers are helping you, then you've got certain responsibilities to not be living high on the hog," President Barack Obama said Tuesday.

The move comes amid a national outcry over extravagant bonuses for executives heading companies seeking taxpayer dollars to remain solvent.

Call it the maximum wage for some high-earners.

Wow, maximum wage, but that is the reality. Folk in these high positions are there to become multi-millionaires, billionaires not a 150K a year guy. That is how they roll on Wall Street.

This move is one in the right direction. Why? Well, if the bailout banks CEOs don't like it, don't take the money and use your brains and resources to get YOURSELVES out of the hole that you PUT YOURSELVES in. Simple as that. These CEOs can whine, cry, get pissed to high heaven but the perception and the American Public don't care. There are too many folk out on the limb in this country, many losing their jobs, lost their savings/401Ks, losing their homes, can't afford to send their kids to college, and struggling to survive daily. There is no sympathy for these bailout banks CEOs and their continual business as usual attitude, when their own organizations are giving out pink slips in the thousands to their own employees.

At this point, these bailout banks can cry me a river; there is no one to willing to save you if you are not willing to save yourselves.

Claire McCaskill is SPOT ON about Wall Street and these Bankers (Video)

Lady Claire, tells it like it IS....

Senator Claire McCaskill (D-MO) is asking all these financial institutions begging for OUR MONEY to be paid the same salary as the President of the United States. That salary is $400,000.

That salary is not outrageous, or beneath them, these bankers are asking for OUR MONEY for their f**k ups, period. These bankers hired lobbyists to take away all the regulations set in place prior, stood in the way of regulating that housing mess, jumped into the housing mess, got their money UP FRONT, and let their institutions fail. Why should we continue to pay these corrupt institutions? We have too many people out here with no jobs, and if something is not done soon, we will be seeing families out there on the streets. And we, the tax payer are suppose to let this just be OK? The behavior of the bankers on Wall Street?

One day after President Barack Obama ripped Wall Street executives for their "shameful" decision to hand out $18 billion in bonuses in 2008, Congress may finally have had enough.

An angry U.S. senator introduced legislation Friday to cap compensation for employees of any company that accepts federal bailout money. Under the terms of a bill introduced by Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Missouri, no employee would be allowed to make more than the president of the United States.

Obama's current annual salary is $400,000.

"We have a bunch of idiots on Wall Street that are kicking sand in the face of the American taxpayer," an enraged McCaskill said on the floor of the Senate. "They don't get it. These people are idiots. You can't use taxpayer money to pay out 18 billion dollars in bonuses."

Are you mad yet?
