I just watched that on CNN. Lobbying is open bribery, I'm glad there will be a more strict guideline to follow. He's off to a good start so far.
WOW
Being that Obama took more money from Fannie and Freddie than any Senator save Democratic chairman of the committee.
Hummm?
I don't get it.
LOL
And has what to do with the topic? Hmm? Nothing. Let's keep to it please.
Those affected by the freeze include the high-profile jobs of White House chief of staff, national security adviser and press secretary. Other aides who work in relative anonymity also would fit into that cap if Obama follows a structure similar to the one George W. Bush set up

As a part of a house hold that has a 6 figure income...I think this is fine...If you can't live a "normal" life on a 6 figure salary you have some problems. And by "normal" I mean people who don't have 8 kids and have some wild medical issues. If you got a bad weekend habit about riding the "rail" and calling hookers and such then 100K might not stretch far but households with 100k income that don't have un-normal burdens should be able to get the bills payed on time and not complain about much.

Perhaps not all Bush's idea were rotten "if Obama follows a structure similar to the one George Bush set up."
Traditionally, the President is the highest-paid public employee. President Obama currently earns $400,000 per year, along with a $50,000 expense account, a $100,000 nontaxable travel account and $19,000 for entertainment.[11] The most recent raise in salary was approved by Congress and President Bill Clinton in 1999 and went into effect in 2001; prior to the change, the President earned $200,000, plus expense accounts.

You're kidding, right? It's not about them struggling, it's about them having too much compared to most people. They probably don't need a six figure income, and if hard-working, educated Americans currently are lacking thousands and thousands of jobs, then they can stand a cutback in pay.
