Union nemesis Walker basks in Republican applause

Wow, the first night of the republican convention was very pathetic… WOW!

Ann Romney didn’t connect in any part of her blabbering. She seemed tipsy as she blurted out a few times as if she was with a group of her friends on ‘girls night out’. And then Mitt Romney walks out like a Martian robot, LOL. Later, as Ann Romney sat in the audience, they even caught her at one point on camera looking disinterested as if she would rather be in her mansion sipping an expensive wine. Chris Christie was disastrous; he was grim and angry and he only mentioned Romney once, and it was 1800 words in, and never again, WOW, LOL.

Can’t wait until Romney speech Thursday night.

Walker renewed our faith in America when he defeated the UnionCrat thugs in Wisconsin. Now we have a chance to Save America from Obama. The Left thinks America's best days are behind us but the Romneys disagree and so do I.

Romney Ryan 2012. Our children deserve a chance!!!

"WE built that!"

**********

A golden parachute has been defined as an agreement between a company and an employee (usually upper executive) specifying that the employee will receive certain significant benefits if employment is terminated. Most definitions specify the employment termination is as a result of a merger or takeover[1][2][3], also known as "Change-in-control benefits".[4] But more recently the term has been used to describe excessive CEO (and other executives) severance packages unrelated to change in ownership.[5] The benefits may include severance pay, cash bonuses, stock options, or other benefits.

7 Of The Most Outrageous Severance Packages In Recent Wall Street History

Tom Montag

If you ever need to negotiate an exit from your current employer and have Tom Montag's number - call him.

First he left Goldman Sachs for Merrill Lynch in May 2008. Merrill Lynch bought out his remaining Goldman compensation package for approximately $10 million.

Then, when Merrill Lynch was acquired by Bank of America in January 2009, BofA bought out all of Montag's Merrill Lynch options, vested and unvested, for a value of $29.9 million.

He stayed at BofA, where he is now co-COO.

A little background on Montag: he was once one of the largest individual taxpayers in Japan and he was the one that called that one deal that totally caused the financial crisis 'shitty.'

==========

Peter Kraus

Peter and Tom definitely talked this thing over.

Kraus joined Merrill at the same time as Montag, with a similar buyout of his Goldman compensation package.

Kraus, however, did not stay on at Bank of America and collected his $25 million severance package.

It was rumored that his split from BofA was in part related to his 'flashy' behavior, which included brandishing his bright green blackberry in meetings.

He consoled himself by buying at $36.6 million apartment and later becoming CEO of AllianceBernstein.

==========

Joe Cassano

Technically, the guy who lit the fuse at AIG did decline his severance.

But only after his CEO begged regulators to allow the failed insurer to retain Cassano as a consultant at $1 million per month and public uproar ensued.

The irony of the idea that Cassano was needed for his '20-year knowledge' of credit derivatives after that same knowledge decimated AIG is enough to land him on this list.

==========

"Restore OUR Future!"

**********
Hank Paulson

Wait, he didn't get a severance package, right? Think again.

When he accepted President George W. Bush's nomination as Treasury Secretary, he was forced to sell his approximately $500 million dollars in Goldman shares.

Nothing wrong with that.

The real severance payment?

Because of a seldom utilized tax loophole, Paulson paid no capital gains taxes on this sale. That's right, not a single cent, saving him an estimated $200 million.

==========

Martin Sullivan

Not surprisingly, Joseph Cassano's old boss had a bit of an warped view of what constituted acceptable behavior.

When he was fired as CEO of AIG, Sullivan collected $47 million.

Later, he named as one of the 'Worst CEOs Of All Time' by Time Magazine.

==========

Stanley O'Neal

After leaving Merrill Lynch with an $8 billion write down, O'Neal left the firm with a total of $160 million.

While not technically severance pay, when Merrill claimed that the pay was for performance in previous years as CEO, questions were raised.

The assets that lead to his departure and dragged down Merrill's balance sheet to such an extent that Bank of America was called in to acquire the firm were purchased during those years when O'Neal's performance apparently merited such a massive payout.

========

Chuck Prince

While Citigroup claimed in regulatory filings that it was not technically severance pay, when Chuck 'We're Still Dancing' Prince received $29.5 million in stock options, grants and perks when he left as CEO in the wake of billions of dollars in asset write downs.

He also received approximately $13 million in cash for his performance during the same year when those write downs occured.

AND RICH MONEY'S AND PAUL RYAN'S PLAN IS MORE TAX CUTS FOR THE 1%.

Attention moron cow patty!!! An impressed Bob Schieffer gave a bunch of accolades about Ann Romney's speech. It was not a speech intended for deranged mealy mouth anti-Americanism marxists like you. You'll have to wait for the DNC to fascinate you with their marxist poop.
Furthermore, Governor Christie did very well indeed as did every speaker at the convention...I can't wait to hear Mitt Romney speak either...While that's going on perhaps you should play in the freeway.

I am most looking forward to hearing Sarah Palin speak at the convention this year.

.

Yepper, the same marxist a-holes who said Walker Wisconsin Ranger was going down are the same marxist a-holes doing the same with Mitt Romney.
The obama marxists are doing their best to libel the Romney Family...I mean the marxists are doing everything the can to destroy Mitt Romney short of using bombs to make their point like b. h. obama's mentor bill ayers...

That should sober up fair minded Democrats from all over the Country.
They won't say much but when it counts they will Vote for Romney Ryan!!

Your opinion means sh*t you disgusting piece of sh*t considering you hold a rapist of little boys Sandusky to a higher regard than the President of the United States of America. You disgust me and every decent human being.

That's not important now. What's important is the Sarah Palin will give a riveting speech at the convention and outshine all these Republican RINOs. They are just mice compared to her. Go Sarah!

Walker took a Bad Situation and TURNED IT AROUND.

Barack Hussein Created a Bad Situation as Senator and Made It Worse as President. It's no surprise the American Electorate is Enthused to Get Rid of the Kenyan.

Scott Walker Balanced the Budget after democrats claimed it was impossible. He did what he promised. Something liars like barack hussein never do. In fact, speaking of budgets, Obama Got ZERO VOTES for His ridiculous budget proposal!

Zero!
