I agree. However, accepting millions in bonuses from a company when taxpayer money is used to bail out that very same company is neither smart nor ethical. Seriously, could these guys have not anticipated the outrage of doing that? Are they that out of touch with the American public?

Remember the campaign slogan "Country First?"

Yeah, right.
