Let's just hope they don't tie salaries to sexual performance! Wait...

A little late don't you think. I'm guessing Bush didn't do this in his first year of presidency to keep the rich vote.

It's to distract us from that ever so small slightly armed conflict in that one particular Middle East country.

Why the fuck should the president care about CEO salaries. He should mind his own business!

The only people who don't think CEO salaries are absurd and horrendous are CEOs. It's a joke, but nobody's laughing, rich or not. In fact, most wealthy people hate this kind of stuff even more, because those ridiculous salaries directly affect the huge sums of money that more affluent people have tied up in investments.

It doesn't have anything to do with malice or favoritism. Bush just doesn't understand economics...at all. You're giving him far too much credit.

Is he expecting a large pay-cut then? Oh the irony...
