Don't you agree that rather than making a statement to the press, we could have been better served by action.

I think the POTUS should point out when bull shit like this happens. Tax payer money, money provided by the Bush Admin., is going to bail out companies that are using some of that money to pay bonuses. You seem to think at least some of these bonuses were going to "honest, good, hardworking people on "Wall St" deserving of being paid bonuses based on the terms of their compensation packages." I think if they deserved them their companies wouldn't need the damn bail out.
So now you say the current POTUS either shouldn't have said he thought it was bull shit or he should have given details of exactly which individuals he was talking about? You want the POTUS to give you a list of bonuses and individuals being wrongly funded by the tax payer? Wonder how long that press conference would run? I think the POTUS made it clear any tax funds going to bonuses was bullshit and I agree.
In your previous post you stated some of these people deserved them. I'm asking you to provide such a list. If you know they exists you must know who they are, right?
