And did you see that the CEO who has only been with the company for 17 days, is walking away with nearly $20 million.  $7.5 mil for getting hired and then an $11.5 mil severance package if he ever got fired.  Geesh.  Can I find something like that?
What did the other top execs get?
What did the CEO 18 days ago get?

Does that mean all those bankers that were in the WAMU commercials behind the ropes won the game? I bet they were all from Chase Morgan.

Right there, in a nutshell, is what the bailout is

They put a gun to our heads demanding we pay for it all, threatening our jobs and retirements will be lost if we don't

And Bush saying "the world is watching", what's that supposed to mean? I'll tell you what, watch closely and "read my lips" ........NO!
