As you may have heard, President Obama reportedly sent a secret letter to Russian President Dimitri Medvedev last month.

We know the Obama administration is up to its neck in financial reform and bailout messiness, but we also know that the squeaky wheel gets the grease (right?). In that spirit, we greatly appreciate this listicle from Slate suggesting 10 Bush Cases Obama’s Justice Department Should Redo. The list covers all kinds of DoJ injustice, [...]

This morning a terrific Huffington Post article on steps the Obama administration is taking to limit the benefits paid to CEOs of bailed-out banks made us wonder just what kind of ridiculous compensations other than salaries CEOs have been getting. This hilarious video from CNBC gave us some idea, though the group (being a group [...]
