#1 Aides making above $100,00 include the high-profile jobs of White House chief of staff, national security adviser and press secretary. Other aides who work in relative anonymity also fit into that cap, if Obama follows a structure similar to the one George W. Bush set up.

Slick is back. It doesn't cap, it only freezes, and instead of reporting clearly that it was a carry over of the Bush administration, it allows the worshiping MSM to show the One has assuaged the masses with a display of 'thrift' in these times.
