Okay, Mr. President, I’m in! (sorta)

Mr. President, I see that Sunday, the New York Times [1] is announcing your “call for increased oversight of ‘executive pay at all banks, Wall Street firms and possibly other companies’ as part of sweeping plan to ‘overhaul financial regulation’.”

Even though I admit I prefer President ZoBama [2]… and even though I am CEO of a very small teeny-tiny company [3] with executive pay in an embarrassingly low percentile with no bonus, alas… [You don't deserve one.-ed. Okay, okay, but did you have to say that? People have feelings, you know - even on the Internet.]… scarcely worth any effort… Mr. President, I am in – with one proviso:

I want it all out there. Total transparency, including Timothy Geithner’s TurboTax printouts [4] and Christopher Dodd’s Irish real estate holdings [5]. [Doesn't Dodd remind you of Claude Rains [6] in "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington"?-ed. Worse.]

In other words, Mr. President, you want “increased oversight,” let’s have it – for everyone! That includes some of your creepy allies. Otherwise, you’re a hypocrite. Stick it.

[You forgot Charlie Rangel!-ed. I forgot a lot of people. Harry Reid and the Vegas connection! [7] That too.]
