Sure he's getting a lot of work done. Ripping off billions of dollars from millions of innocents can wear one down. Poor baby. Maybe he should be sentenced to work at a fast food joint and live on only what he earns there for a year...

[solarian]

[totaldisbelief]

soon no place will be safe

Benmosche, Bernake, Fuld, Warsh, Emanuel, Rubin - we are but pawns in the world their world.

The man has 12 bathrooms that women go wild in !
Would you leave a home with wild women in the bathroom ?
No you would call more women to come over.

Funny how those from private schools always heave the one thing to say "we are entitled to nothing but what we earned."
When millions of men and women accepted aggrements and joined or were forced to accept the aggrement being drafted into the military they trusted their own Government would keep their word. Then they find the aggrement constantly changing and cutting the aggrement Disabled Veterans have to live with to the bone then when another war comes dressing it up to fool the new Patriots .

All the while those who avioded the military rise to top levels of business and professions making a good life the Disabled Veteran for the most part remains hovering above the Poverty Line crippled with pain and limited by their body's injuries.
After all no one offers jobs to people who have to lie down many times a day, whose sleep habits include days without rest and passing out from exhaustion the only way he can get rest. Even if he can struggle thru and get a college degree the demands of playing golf with the big boys leaves him out even social fuctions are missed because disabled people are hard to look at Doctor say.

So what have they earned ? Respect ?
Funny and Insurance executive would talk about earning anything because a truly honest man knows insurers are just leaches sellling a lie they can change at will with the laws they pay have written.

Almost no one on this blog has anything to offer but jejune attempts at humor, undisguised envy, and pathetic chest-thumping for violence that they don't even really mean.

Seyz You!

Chest thumping is all we can do in this situation. We are powerless when the two dominant parties in the US agree that fools like this will lead us to economic salvation. We are getting screwed royally and our economy is being destroyed by parasites like this fellow. I fully support the rage that is being generated against the rich. It will take a lot of rage to change this rotten system. Unfortunately, a lot of little people are going to get hurt over the next few years before the pain gets large enough for a majority to exert its will.

way to go.

start the new job with a month vacation.

he should open an office there.

he would not even have to go back to the US.

far away Coratia is much better and low profile when you want to organize parties for the lobbyists

And this is the best the Gov. interview committee could come up with give me a break. Guy can't figure out why we are upset. Lets see we have had 350 banks fail in 8 months (2009) , they are predicting another thousnad in next 24 months, we have the three largest banks proped up with tax dollars (to big to fail) sucking up tax dollars and still giving millions out in bonus to executives. Amazing it is not being blamed on Unions....­..........­.......

And we have Gov. which has no plans or laws to stop any of this, break up banks, make loans, stop BS bonus stuff, audite, audite.

He says from his off shore castle we have a lynch mob mentality maybe it is we just can't carry anymore of the load.

Having just lived through 8 years of Bush and Cheney horro show, the country has off shored our jobs, we have no heathcare annual increase in big double digits, higher education for kids is escalating at a 3 digit rate, middle class is being run out of this country or reduced to poverty, we have 10 to 15 percent unemployment rate, oh and a neo-con party that has forgetten it is even part of this country...­..........­..........­...

And he and our Wall Street MBA's can't figure out why we are upset.....­..........­..........­.....

[SamKnause]

Excellent post!!!!

[schatsie]

Let him stay there, we don't need him anyway...I am frfigging tired of the God Complex, that either they are GODS or they TALK TO GOD....Lock them up and put them away for sociopaths or schizophrenic...

WE ARE THE PEOPLE....MEDICARE FOR ALL.

[wgsalter]

Yes, we ARE the people. Do we get a say in this?

[totaldisbelief]

[zanzig]

Another "entitled" one.

[fredwenn]

[goldcoastsailor]

Were do I sign up to start lynching? Where's the mob?

[totaldisbelief]

put out the "hit"on him

[goldcoastsailor]

A lynch mob would be good

[ulatec]

This guy knows where to live . The Croatian Adriatic is probably the most naturally stunning coast on the Mediterranean , I live (and I'm posting from) the Caribbean . Trust me when I say the Caribbean has nothing on that part of the Adriatic , with a huge villa there and probably a major yacht anchored this guy is living like a Roman emperor right now . Hats off to the guy

[goldcoastsailor]

Hats off to a lynch mob

[fredwenn]

The color of the water --- aqua marine.... green... we brought masks and fins so we could jump in all the way down the coast....

Plitvice is a gloriously unknown bit of real estate..... land of falling water.... amazing

Too good for this creep

[Phxflyer]

WAAAAHHHHH.

Get him some cheese for that whine.

[Bushdepression]

AIG is like Enron, only bigger and Enron didn't have a key to the treasury. I don't like it when Robert Benmosche has a key to our treasury. Maybe we need to have a tax strike to smoke the rats out of our treasury.

[totaldisbelief]

I've been saying "Tax Strike" for months and months.
