Of course Congress and Obama now feel an obligation to keep the auto's from going belly up so workers will keep jobs in order to pay union dues and keep the union fat cats living high on the hog.

I'll agree with the corrupted politicians and lobbiest, but back off the CEO's. Their pay and compensations are determined by their boards of directors and stock holders. Government has no business capping private enterprise's salary structure.
Let them have their golf outings etc.
I just don't understand a political philosophy that is so hateful and hypocritical.
Ah, I get it. Corporate CEOs tend to be Republicans, so it's okay for them to take huge bonuses after bankrupting a company and taking in billions of taxpayer dollars.
Unions, OTOH, are Democratic in nature, therefore, the money they make, which comes from their members and not taxpayers, is bad.
