What a great lady Claire McCaskill is jumping down the throats of the banking robber barons. Congress needs to pass clawback legislation to take back those bonuses from the criminals who wrecked our abking system and make sure they do not profit like this while their banks are getting taxpayer welfare.

The answer to Claire's question of what planet these criminals are from is the planet "Grand Larceny"

Micheal Steele is a closet Democrat! Thanks Andrea Mitchell for boldly displaying the sign of truth that the repugnant ones are choosing a closet Demcorat to run the RNC. Can't wait to hear the premature ejaculation of hate and outrage from Mount Lushmore, the Viagra Chronicler.

I'd be interested to know how Ms. Mccaskill voted on the pork-bloated stimulus bill before giving her too much praise. I'd also like to know if she criticized her new President and his team for spending the most $$ ever on a Presidential Inauguration. Also, when all the Hollywood and music star icons travelled to the Washington DC for the Inauguration, did she criticize them for all of their private jets (bad for Global warming, you know) they travelled in? How does she feel about President Obama promising "No lobbyists" in his administration and how having at least a dozen or some ex-lobbyists working there? Also, was she at all concerned that the President's new Treasury Secretary (highest economic post in the nation) hadn't paid taxes owed for several years UNTIL he was nominated for the position??? I'm glad she's outraged about Wall Street (so am I) but until I see her taking on her own and their corruption and hypocrisy, I'm not too impressed.

This is what Obama said to McCaskill and how he said it in a private conversation with McCaskill last night. She has just brought it to the floor.

And it is not a matter of these CEOs being dumb. On the contrary they are very bright. It's not ignorance, it's greed that controls their minds. And that is stupidity. But most likely intended stupidity. How many do you think are trying to pad their personal bank accounts quickly with the intent of leaving their company or retiring soon as a result of a worsening economy?

You can't keep being critical of the people that produce, that they are somehow evil, and keep giving things to people that don't produce.

Here's a clue Mccaskill, if you don't like how businesses are spending the money you give them, don't give it to them! You're the one that voted for it for heavens sake! And let me guess, you can't wait to vote Aye on the $819 billion bill that just showed up in the Senate!

Yes, cap corporate handouts. I'm not against stimulus and limited tax breaks to encourage business investment. But, what we have seen more of is investment in one's own pocket rather than investment in productivity. Why did steel die in the USA? They blamed it on the high wages of the workers. The fact is the owners bleed the industry for their own benefit, invested little in improvements and inovation, and were not ready for the inovative foreign steel companies. The same has happened with one corporation after another. No infrastructure, no research, no inovation, but plenty of pretty offices, wardrobes, travel expenses, vacations, big houses. The ones on top have inflated themselves and left their companies fail. NO MORE MONEY TO FEED GREEDY MANAGERS AND OWNERS.

If those wall street execs and bankers don't listen.. then take our money back! This money was SUPPOSED to be used to infuse the banks to unclog the credit freeze? Did that happen? NO. It's no wonder no one could account for where the money went to from TARP.. well we now know that 18.4 Billion of it went into the Pockets of those that tanked those companies in the ground. Since when do people get bonuses for destroying companies?

And for you naysayers of the Stimulus bill. Yes its not popular, wonder why? no oversite of the TARP money is proof of that. Yes there is some crap in the bill that needs to be removed. What good is a tax cut going to do if there is no business or workers to Tax? We need an infusion into the economy directly to put people back to work, like infrastructure and new energy or something tangeable that gives people their jobs back! Then maybe tax cuts might work.

But these execs! This is utterly disgusting. President Obama and Congress needs to put a stop to the insanity that is corporate greed. Of course they are going to kick and scream about it especially those who are lobbied by those greedy ones who probably pushed for no oversight of the TARP money and are now crying foul over the new stimulus bill because it isn't going to help them line their pockets more. Stick it too these recipients of these ridiculous bonuses and the companies idiotic enough to give it to them.

Its a slap in the face to the American Public and shows the stupidity of a company who hands over the Billions of dollars saying "Thank you for running our company and economy into the ground." *hands over big fat check* Darn it! I need to go see if that same mentality will work on my boss!

"They don't get it," McCaskill said. "These people are idiots. You can't use taxpayer money to pay out $18-billion in bonuses... What planet are these people on?"

Today, McCaskill introduced legislation that would cap the executive pay at any company getting federal bailout money at $400,000. (The same salary of the US President.) "They'd have to limit that executive compensation for everyone in their company until they pay back every dime to the taxpayers," she said.

"Once they're off the public dole, once the taxpayers aren't footing the bill, then it's not as much our business what they get paid," she said. "But right now, they're on the hook to us. And they owe us something more than a fancy waste basket and a $15-million dollar jet. They owe us some common sense."

Terri Brandon -- I doubt that any liberal would have chosen to give away bunches of money to ***bankers***. Trust me, if we're into playing Santa Claus there are others we'd much rather see get the benefit. --- The bankers got the money because the Bush administration (conservative Republicans, I believe) convinced everyone that the whole house would fall down around our ears. And since they had been so secretive with information and lax on regulations for 8 years, it was difficult to disprove. You can't have it both ways: your guys convince everyone that a big step is needed (Iraq war, bailout) and then you blame Dems for having behaved responsibly based on what they were told by the only people who had the information. --- It's not liberals who are nuts -- it was the American people ... in 2000 and esp. 2004.

Thank you Senator McCaskill for reminding Americans that the United States is a democracy, not a capitalist society. It wasn't until the 19th Century when President Andrew Jackson embraced it.

She also reminded us that this is a democratic nation not an "oligarchy." Webster's Dictionary defines oligarchy as:

1: government by the few
2: a government in which a small group exercises control especially for corrupt and selfish purposes ; also : a group exercising such control.
3: an organization under oligarchic control.

This is how the GOP wanted to turn this nation into this form of government.

It feels so good to have someone with some clout stand up and say what we've all been thinking for so long... But I'm afraid that no matter what stipulations are added to the bailout money, it won't have the intended effect. The wasted 18 billion is precisely why, people making decisions are people, imperfect, greedy, designed to fail. We obviously need to reevaluate many financial and industrial infrastructures and, yes, learn from the Japanese. I agree with whoever said that.
