Who the heck cares what this jerk thinks?

What does this Chicago nightmare in the WD do? Lay awake nights scheming up ways to screw America?

We need to runs this crew out of town ASAP.

Jarett—GTH out of my White House and take the rest of the Chi-mob with you.

Gird Your Coins: Obama Endorses ‘Paycheck Fairness Act’
By Doug Powers • July 20, 2010 03:03 PM

**Written by Doug Powers

Uh oh — Obama and the Democrats are talking about “fairness” again, which means we’re all on the brink of being screwed, but more fairly than ever.

(Reuters) - The “pay czar” tasked by the U.S. government with ruling on the eye-popping compensation of some of Wall Street’s top earners is far from a stranger to big paychecks and the trappings of wealth.

Kenneth Feinberg made $5.76 million last year as a partner in his Washington law firm, Feinberg Rozen LLP, according to a government ethics filing obtained by Reuters.

And his assets, which include a stake in his law firm, two homes and dozens of investments, are worth anywhere from $11 million to $37 million, according to the filing, which places assets in broad value categories.
