Because Leno asked him outright about the sinful bonuses which Obama said were "legal" and then Leno said, "so can't you stop them?" To which Obama said "we could get sued" to which Leno replied "Well, let them sue us! We're already 3 trillion in debt!"

Obama has actualy bought into Congress and the bankers and the bailous and all of that.
I am disappointed he didn't have the balls to withdraw the money or the bonuses. Just like the banks are taking all the money WITHOUT transparency. There are no more laws where money rules.
If he's going to hold up his end of the bargain to the American people, maybe he HAS to play along, as they are holding him hostage while the world's economy finds it's bottom and re-adjusts into the New World Dollar or some such. Maybe he's waiting to find the right time to act. Today is only his 60th day in office. I guess he's getting quite the education.

Leno also asked Obama if the 90% taxes were unconstitutional, and Obama went off a long dissertation that actually didn't answer the question. I guess the Fed can tax the Fed, after all; aren't they all in bed with the IRS?

This whole thing is outrageous!
