| Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein stands to collect $100 million bonus |
| 2010-02-01 |
| He's been grilled by Congress and blasted by critics, but the chief executive of Goldman Sachs may soon have $100 million reasons to smile. Lloyd Blankfein, who leads the world's richest investment bank, stands to collect an eye-popping $100 million bonus in defiance of President Obama, according to bankers meeting in Davos, Switzerland, for the World Economic Forum. "This is Lloyd thumbing his nose at Obama," a banker at one of Goldman's rivals told The Times of London. The prospect of a $100 million bonus would dwarf the $67.9 million Blankfein collected in 2007. It also would come after Obama called such payments "shameful." Goldman Sachs refused to comment, but will have to report the pay of its top executives by the end of next month. |

But as a 21 year-old 'Nam-era vet listening to(and getting) Barry Farber's WABC nightly NYC radio talk show; I was a happy young man with a dream. That dream probaly won't be an option for my daughter & son-In-Law.

| #5 ...or the Russian Revolution or for that matter any place where the Marxist eventually gained control of power. It may be Spring Time at Sachs now, but their paid agent of Hope and Change is not a capitalist. |

| #1 Well, Fannie Mae and Mac just had another $200 billion dollar infusion of Treasury [that's yours and mine] money, but the exec's still get million dollar bonuses. Goldman Sachs just had a better year. /sarc off |
