  • Obama’s Compensation Limits Amount to Zip [View article]
    My one comment regarding the rationale of needing to pay top dollar to retain the best people:

    If the company is tanking, you obviouslly DID NOT HAVE THE BEST PEOPLE!

    The best is unwilling to settle for SLOP!

    The best is unwilling to undermine the security of their country!

    The best do whatever it takes to be truly successful!

    The best hold themselves accountable!

    The best do not make excuses!

    The best are capable of basing decisions for long term good!

    The best see no reason to lie!

    The best do the right thing!


    I saw very little of the BEST.

    I have seen alot of mediocraty. I saw laziness. I saw a misguided belief set that America had retained a post WW2 cutting edge. I saw a blatant disregard for employees. I saw a blatant disregard for reality. I saw greed. I saw cowardness and an unwillingness for anyone to take a true stand.

    This meltdown may be the best thing that has happened to America.

    We have very little choice but to face reality now.

    DO NOT TRY TO CAST BLAME TOWARD JAPAN, CHINA OR ANY OTHER COUNTRY.

    No one took anything from us. WE GAVE IT AWAY!
