In the wake of the financial meltdown, President Barack Obama 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, 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.

Is he a tax cheat too? Because that would just be the cherry on top for qualifications.

Where are the Wall Street Protesters???
To: george76
I've done a lot of searching and I have yet to find a good explanation of where
exactly the $800 billion in "stimulus" money went, and who got how much. For example, BofA got some. Where
exactly did it go? Into VP's and shareholder pockets and then kicked back to Obama and the DNC? Why don't the media look into this and report on it?
OK, that last question was obviously sarcasm......
