[Hoot Gibson]

I'm not saying that Obama himself should be able to dictate their income himself. Your opinion of obama makes u argue every point about the man. The way you talk about him is pathetic. Your Bush admin left the country in a outright mess. He and his admin are trying to fix there ****ups.

What is pathetic is the way that our education system is failing to teach young people the fundamental way that our government works. People like you are apparently being misled into believing that unlimited presidential power is okay but only when a left wing kook like Obama is in the White House. And yes, you did say that the Pay Czar, who was appointed by Obama and did not require confirmation by the US Senate should be allowed to change the terms of preexisting contracts of executives working private companies whenever those companies receive funding from the federal government. There is no difference in saying that the Pay Czar should have this power and saying that his boss should have the power.

The difference between most conservatives and most liberals is that the power that conservatives believe a president should have do not depend on the political philosophy of the person occupying the White House. I never want to see a US president with the power to fire a private CEO or slash the pay of employees in the private sector.

I admit that I oppose nearly every action that Obama has taken because I believe in our system of government. However, I supported Obama when he fired Gen. McChrystal because one of the most important principles of our government is civilian control of the military. I have also supported Obama's prosecution of the war in Afghanistan because it is the right thing to do.

Where are the liberals who harassed Bush over the Guantonimo Bay detainees, Iraq, and Afghanistan? They have grown almost silent because their man is in the White House now, even though he has basically decided to follow Bush's policies on all of these issues.

People like you are just interchangeable tools of the left wing Democrats. They say jump and you say, "How high?" You are being manipulated and lied to everyday and you do not even realize it. Now that is pathetic.
