WASHINGTON — In announcing executive pay limits on Wednesday, President Obama is trying to hold the financial industry accountable to taxpayers while aiming to change an entrenched corporate culture that endorses outsize bonuses and perks that often bear little relationship to corporate performance.
Hey, he’s providing the capital, he calls the shots.
TV newsman Warner Saunders, who is black, after blasting retired Sun-Times radio and TV writer Robert Feder, who is white, for race prejudice:
“I simply wanted to confront him, face to face,” Saunders said. “I just spoke my truth in front of a person who I felt has been unfair to me and to black journalists in this city. … Very few people who are not in our skin can understand this.” [Italics added]
So he can’t blame Feder, and most whites won’t get it? What is it, some kind of freemasonry? If most whites can’t understand, why bring it up?
Here’s a site dedicated to Obama as promise-keeper or not:
PolitiFact is a project of the St. Petersburg Times to help you find the truth in politics.
Every day, reporters and researchers from the Times examine statements by members of Congress, the president, cabinet secretaries, lobbyists, people who testify before Congress and anyone else who speaks up in Washington. We research their statements and then rate the accuracy on our Truth-O-Meter – True, Mostly True, Half True, Barely True and False. The most ridiculous falsehoods get our lowest rating, Pants on Fire.
All right. Not just Obama.
