Seriously, this is almost straight up common sense. Get paid based on how well you are doing.

I know hindsight is 20/20, but I can't believe legislation like this doesn't already exist!

amen, the dirty CEO's will be kicking and screaming

It's quite clear to me that Barack made it quite clear about what we can do together. It's making sure that positive changes are made to correct the problems we had.

I am not an Obama supporter. However, I think that all of us can agree that some CEO's make to much. Legislation to limit their pay is not possible without infringing on all of our rights. Taxing them on a number may leave to many potential loopholes. I think that the answer may be to Not give any government contracts to any company that has a CEO or any other upper management that makes more than x% of the average of all their employees and subcontracted employees. What do you think?

What is really scary about the comments on this video is the high expectations Obamas supporters or should i call them minions have. NO one and I mean no one can live up to these expectations and remember in our society people love to build people up too tear them down. He is coming in terrible situation with a huge deficit, and credit crisis in the economy and the war. I just don't think he will be able to live up to your lofty goals for him, esp when I have heard nothing concrete on policy.

No matter who the president is it is the people of this country who make or break themselves... instead of counting on this man you should be looking at yourselves and finding a way to get yourself out of the possition you put yourself in... I'm going to lose my home... I lost my family and my job... I don't blame Bush...I am an American... I will simply move on if I can't find a job here I will go where I can find a job. I don't need handouts to make it and niether do any other Americans

England for Obama!!

Once he's done being president, Barack can come be Canada's prime minister. We dont have a major crisis of conscience or economic collapse to motivate our potential leaders to greatness. We wallow in stagnation and mediocrity because we have no major issues to overcome, and no great leaders to realize that this country has the potential to be more than just mediocre. Barack seems like a good man, and his policies are already in line with the majority of Canadian thought on many issues.
