Shame on you Peggy. I resent the lack of respect of your calling the president a loser. The office deserves respect from all parties, and less partisanship.

I find it interesting that Goldman's CFO says what will happen next year with executive compensation when the actual decision makers should be the Board of Directors and especially the compensation committee. One can only assume from the comment that the Board serves under the direction of fatigue management rather than Read More...
