Obama will be saying "I screwed up" again if they cap executive compensation at $ 500k. I know that sounds like a lot of money, but good luck finding someone who can run a huge company at that salary.

"Finally, a president who can admit mistakes." Bush Apology 1: abcnews.go.com/Politics/Story?id=2077873&page=1 Bush Apology 2: www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,119156,00.html Bush Apology 3: ca.news.finance.yahoo.com/s/01122008/2/biz-finance-bush-apologizes-financial-crisis-says-economy-recover.html Tara-Lynne - C'mon, I found those in 5 seconds. You're the reason no one trusts the media, and you illustrate the delusions liberals live under.
She means admitting mistakes the entire time you are President. For all his "incompetence" I don't remember Bush appointing tax cheats to head the IRS and having such a weak vetting process for cabinet appointments. I remember a few (Kimba Wood is one) who had nanny problems, but not owing over $ 100k in taxes on income they hid from the IRS. Obama has also appointed over a dozen lobbyists to key positions, despite saying that lobbyists have no place in his administration.
