Chairman Issa played some of President Obama's remarks about AIG, which also gave out bonuses while it was being bailed out.

"I see reports of massive profits and obscene bonuses in some of the very firms who owe their continued existence to the American people," Obama said.

Chairman Issa also played another Obama comment from "60 Minutes," in which he said, "I did not run for office to be helping out a bunch of, you know, fat cat bankers on Wall Street."

But under questioning, all three officials today said that they have heard nothing from the White House about the compensation issue, which one Republican found odd.

"This is interesting because there has been a hue and cry from -- from the president in particular, about executive compensation," Patrick McHenry, R-NC, said. "And it is somewhat strange to me that in an area where he could exert influence, he has chosen not to."

Duhhh. You wouldn't disturb the pinko gravy train, would you?; 11/17/2011 12:41 AM
