Jack Lew Bagged $950,000 Bonus After Citigroup Bailout
 [BREITBART] In the wake of the financial meltdown, President Barack ObamaI mean, I do think at a certain point you've made enough money... derided Wall Street bonuses as "obscene," calling them examples of "fat cats who are getting awarded for their failure." But now, Mr. Obama has announced that he will nominate as his next Treasury secretary Jack Lew, a man who in 2009 bagged a $950,000 bonus after his bank, Citigroup ...contributed $736,771 to the 2008 Obama campaign... , received billions in a taxpayer-funded bailout. Mr. Lew is the former chief operating officer of Citigroup's Alternative Investments unit--a group that bet billions against homeowners paying their mortgages. As the Huffington Post reported in 2010, during Mr. Lew's Office of Management and Budget (OMB) director confirmation, "neither the Senate's Budget Committee nor its Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee bothered to ask a single question about Lew's tenure at Citigroup, transcripts of the proceedings show."
