Now that we know it was Obama and the Democrats who inserted a provision in the economic stimulus bill that protects CEO bonuses, the question is, when are they going to be held accountable?
So far, the people who ran on the theme of accountability and openness in government have exhibited none.
And this is my subject of discussion today at Columbia Conservative Examiner.
It is the height of sleaze and hypocrisy to condemn CEO bonuses when you are the very ones who made sure those bonuses were protected in the first place.

How 'Bout a Salary Cap for Actors, Sports Figures?
Oscar-award winning Actor Sidney Poitier stated on Thursday that Hollywood CEOs should have their salaries capped just like banking executives who accept bailout money from the federal government.
In fact, he stated that ALL CEOs should have their salaries capped at $500,000 per year whether they accept bailout money or not.
You see, my friends, the vermin Socialists crawl out from under the woodwork when somebody like Obama gets into the White House.
I have a question for Mr. Poitier. How 'bout a salary cap for actors and sports figures too? Huh?
I mean, the money you people make is 'obscene,' to borrow a term from your fellow liberals who describe the money CEOs make.
Answer me this, Mr. Poitier. Is it acceptable for a baseball player to sign a contract worth over 100 million bucks, such as is common today? Is it 'morally and ethically' proper for an actor to make 10 million bucks for one movie?
I doubt Hollywood types like Mr. Poitier would accept any such caps that they readily prescribe for others. But if for some odd reason they are open to such an idea, I have a suggestion. Let's cap actors' salaries at $100,000 per year no matter how many pictures they make. Let's set sports figures' salaries at a maximum of $200,000 per year.
With all that money we are saving just from actors and sports figures alone we could probably bump up garbage collectors' wages to $60,000 per year.
How's that for 'fairness' Mr. Poitier?
