We need an entirely fresh set of CEOs. The current set are outmoded beyond repair. Their thinking is entirely fixed in Reaganism and profiteering. The auto industry CEOs have already demonstrated that they can't adjust to the New Reality. My suggestion is that we not put further energy into helping them rehab their thinking. Fire them all. They're not mature enough to commit hara-kiri, let them live and eat dirt.

If Thain thinks he's going to make that kind of money at BofA, well, even CEO Ken Lewis only made $7 million last year (only--heh). Thain is an idiot who overvalues himself as well as his tainted CDOs.

And the local news this am reported that reps of workers at Republic Windows in Chicago will be demonstrating in front of BofA headquarters in Charlotte this morning. It seems that BofA is holding up the payment of vacation time and severance pay for those workers who are staging a sit-in in the plant.

The day of the Slimeball Greedheads is winding down, whether they think so or not. People out of work have plenty of time to think and act...let's hope they "seize the day" and turn it back on the greedheads.

I smell a conspiracy charge with BOA in the crosshairs.

By the way, Obama just stated the workers were 100% right. Looks like BOA might have to fold. When the soon to be head of a large shareholder speaks you should listen. The banks are going to love having the government as a shareholder.

Lynch. That suggests a good idea for treatment of Mr. Lewis. Shall we string him up by particularly sensitive parts of his anatomy? They must be good-sized, given the nature of his request.

Omg, I feel so bad for this guy. How will he ever carry on? Have we no heart?

I know...poor babies-- out on the street on Park Ave. with his wife and kiddies with nothing but their furs, Armani suits, and FAO Schwartz toys to call their own. Probably living out of their $100+K Humvee.

Boo Hoo, I'm always cryin' for youuuuu....

"the battered company's compensation committee is resisting his request"

I'd do just a little bit more than resist, unless they're using the word in a new, ass-kicking related sense.

What an egotistical, unethical man. Unfortunately we have far too many of the same running big business. When the billions of our taxpayers money was given to the financial institutions why were there not conditions, stipulations and oversight set up for them? They are thumbing their noses at the taxpayers and our government is allowing it.

What I find incredibly strange is the hardball Congress is playing with the automakers and yet they pretty much gave a green light to Wall St. When members of Congress are calling for the resignation/firing of one of the Chief Executives of one of the car makers, I find it curious they didn't use that same demand for the executives of AIG, Merrill Lynch, Wachovia, et al. So now I'm confused, why the automakers and not Wall St.? They are the ones who are the cause of all this tsoris. Arrest the jerk. Put him in Gitmo -- he's an economic terrorist.

Seems to me that if bonuses are to be tied to company performance, the downside ought not to be rewarded. So, if the CEO gets, say, 0.1% of the company profit in a good year, he ought to be assessed at the same rate for losses. So a $50B loss translates to a $50M payback to the company. Pay up, Thain!

Ought to be dragged out of his mansion and stoned to death. I'd throw the first one. I'm quite serious.

TexSorter · 11 months ago

Gee, under the category of the "guy has no clue..." Can you say -- uh, recession? Can you say -- uh, the financial industry already has a reputation lower than dirt, but you suggesting that you get a BONUS just makes it that much lower?

Hopefully Merrill is putting a gag on this clown's mouth, but I don't see a mouthpiece from that company saying that he spoke out of turn, which is disturbing.

What's even creepier is that after the merger, Thain'll be running the global banking and "wealth management" part of the business. "Wealth management." There's a laugh. Seems to me this industry has MISMANAGED wealth.

What a fuckin douche bag this guy is. This is why America's corporations are crumbling. This douche bag sits in a luxury executive leather recliner and has people do his job for him based on his shitty directions which almost drove the company into the ground. It is much less than the 161 million the last douche bag CEO left with last year however.

HatingOnCampbellBrown · 11 months ago

gosh you're mad, many CEOs have done this, and will continue. 10-15 years from now they will do it again. YES I care but they have taken away Americans pensions and came up with the 401K plan, and every 10-15 years they will steal our monies out of the 401K plans and blame it on regular americans. That's how the good ole boy network has set it up. Then they will blame it on us. The best we can do as Americans is live our lives to the fullest and try to enjoy family, love ones and friends b/c they will find ways to constantly ripped us off. Don't get mad that's the way it is. By the way, the election is over the people have spoken, and Campbell Brown of CNN (no bias, no bull) is a hot mess. I vote we send her back to NBC...dang I forgot they don't want her. Airbrush anyone.

HatingOnCampbellBrown · 11 months ago

Let's get this straight right off the back, I have a problem with the Merrill Lynch bonus. He will get it from the taxpayers. At present, my real issue is Campbell Brown, who died and left her queen mistress he has put down (Palin, Rindell, Obama, and the beat goes on). Let her tell it everyone is sexist what's up with that chick (I'm a woman relax Campbell). Gosh, I understand now why NBC got rid of you, you are a hot mess. I'm not hating on you but your flavor will soon dissolve with CNN you will not be liked by the viewers. You are a HOT MESS, please put her in the back office :(
