When you come out of your invernation again, the US political scene may have changed a bit more in the right direction.

Romney is under fire. How else can it be, if truth has a tendency to prevail? He cannot cover the sun with one finger :D

Bain Capital is not going away. A recent commercial by a democrat super pack seems to have scored the bull's eye:

This add had on the Romney camp the same effect as poking with a little stick in an ants' nest.

In the panic, one person in the Romney campaign made the mistake of telling the truth:

http://www.boston.co...ampaign_wooing/

She gave to understand that under RomneyCare (now at the federal level as Obamacare), the woman who died in the previous add would have found help! What an inconvenient truth!

This campaign is heating up, and maybe it will be true what some have forcasted that 2012 is a year when humanity will make big progress B)

I am sure the US political scene would changed a lot more in the right direction when Obama gets *kick* out of the White House come November. B)

How else can it be, if truth has a tendency to prevail? He cannot cover his corruption and deceits with one finger :D

The actions Obama authorized in Lybia were not a war against Lybia. Just the contrary, they came in response to a call from the Lybian people for help to liberate them from a nasty dictator.

At least Cheney and Bush did not use taxpayers` money in the guise of "Stimulus packages" like Obama to deceive the American public just so he could lined the pockets of his donors and cronies...duh!

And Obama killing of thousands of innocent Libyan civilians is not a "stupid war"?
Obama`s killing of innocent children with the US drones in Pakistan is not "stupid war"...izzzit?
Oh....I almost forgot!
Congress did not declare war and yet Obama waged "war" against Libya and send drones into Pakistan!
Gee....if those are not stupid wars, then surely, I guess you must be just as stupid to believe so...lor!

How ridiculous!

The biggest case of payback must still be what former vice president Cheney did in favor of Halliburton, originally an oil services contractor, who became the biggest contractor in the Iraq war, providing even meals for the troops. Who knows how many 'friends' of the Bush administration profiteered indecently from the Iraq war, while this stupid war claimed so many innocent lives!

At least Obama doesn't pay back his donors and friends by starting stupid wars!

After all, those green energy companies are on the verge of bankruptcy and have nothing to show and yet Obama still pour millions into them.... :rolleyes:

It would be interesting to see how many companies failed to Romney's Bain Capital, making its investors including Romney lose money. But even more interesting is to see the companies with which Bain Capital MADE money by firing large fractions of its employees and raiding its assets!

Then again Romney is not the president and he did not use taxpayers` money to bailout Bain Capital, did he?

Investing in business and making money from whatever means is a capitalist human rights, but Obama using of taxpayers` money to fatten up his cronies for political gains is despicable and deceitful to say the least esp when it resulted in US$6 trillion deficits and the highest unemployment rate since the Great Depression.

And you have the audacity to complain about Nabors Industries paying it`s CEO 100 million bonus?

Long List of Failed Obama Green Energy & Solar Companies in the Billions

Apr 03, 2012

This is just the short list of energy companies backed by President Barack Obama that have failed. President Obama has wasted tax payer money on these companies and he wants you to re-elect him so he can give you more of the same.

Being the ideologue that he is, he WONT back down from funding more fake (meaning they have never proven themselves profitable or actually have made a product that works)

Can the United States of America REALLY afford FOUR MORE YEARS of this president?

List Of Failed Green Energy Jobs – By Obama

Solar Trust of America: FAIL

Solyndra: [/color=red]FAIL[/color]

100 MILLION DOLLARS

is what the CEO of one of the many companies in the energy sector receives as bonus for retiring, in addition to another 26 millions in other perks.

CEO's final payout of $100 million under fire
By SIMONE SEBASTIAN and TOM FOWLER, HOUSTON CHRONICLE
Published 09:10 p.m., Monday, October 31, 2011

Nabors Industries is slated to pay Eugene Isenberg $100 million - more than the entire company earned in his final quarter as chief executive - and investors are crying foul.

Isenberg, consistently among Houston's highest-paid executives, stepped down Friday as head of the oil and natural gas drilling company he's run since 1987, triggering the potential $100 million termination agreement. He will remain as chairman.

The deal, crafted two years ago, entitles Isenberg to the massive final paycheck - plus outstanding stock options and awards valued at $26 million at the end of last year - in the event of his "constructive termination without cause."

"It defies logic," said Brandon Rees, deputy director for the AFL-CIO's office of investment, which owns Nabors shares. "We're baffled by what the board of directors was thinking in negotiating such an agreement for a CEO who is of retirement age. Nabors will continue to be a focus of shareholder discontent."

Isenberg, 81, received $13.5 million in total compensation last year. From 2006 to 2010, he got almost $174 million in other compensation, John Daniel, an analyst with Houston-based investment bank Simmons & Co., estimated. During that time, Nabors' stock price declined 38 percent.

"This year, that under-performance has continued," Daniel said in a note to investors Monday. Shares of Nabors, which is based in Bermuda but has its main offices in Houston, declined 72 cents to $18.33 Monday. The stock has fallen more than 20 percent this year.

Isenberg's payment would exceed Nabors' third-quarter profit of $74.3 million.

No explanation yet

The controversial payment comes as corporate executive pay is drawing scrutiny.

Nabors' investors were among the first to take advantage of a new federal rule under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform Act allowing shareholders to oppose executive compensation packages with an advisory vote. Of the shares voted at the annual meeting last summer, 57 percent were cast against the pay deals.

Typically, executives receive termination pay when they are forced to leave, either because the board fires them or the company is acquired, said Chris Crawford, executive director for Longnecker & Associates, a compensation consulting firm. "Constructive termination" occurs when an executive is effectively demoted, pressuring him to resign.

Isenberg hasn't publicly explained why he stepped down. Nabors board members and executives either did not return calls or refused comment.

"It's definitely unusual to claim 'constructive termination' going from CEO to chairman, but it's way more unusual to stay on as chairman and receive termination" payment, Crawford said. "That's not a termination."

The $100 million payout will be recorded as a "contingent liability" in Nabors' year-end financial statements, the company said in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The filing doesn't detail the conditions for the payment.


This case shows strange concepts of property, ownership in US corporations.

Nabors' OWNERS, the shareholders, investors, have seen nothing but losses in the last years. As a corporation, Nabors has a BOARD OF DIRECTORS that is supposed to work for the good of the corporation, that is, to provide income to the owners.

This board, that supposedly works for the owners, has given to one of its own ilk a huge bounty against the interests, the will of the owners.

I hope the owners find some recourse in the basics of law and jurisprudence to fight these corporate predators.
