WASHINGTON (AP) -- "The Obama administration says executive compensation must be better managed to prevent the sort of risk-taking that jeopardizes the economy.

Gene Sperling, who advises Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, said Thursday the administration does not want to impose caps on executive pay. But he also laid out for the House Financial Services Committee a list of guidelines calling on publicly-held companies to link compensation to long-term performance, not short-term gains." [emphasis added]

HOLY SHIT! The Obama adminsitration now want's to suggest a list of guidelines on on executive pay. Slippery Slope, meet the Obama adminsitration. Oh, you two already know each other? Oh yeah, Citi Group, Chrysler, GM, TARP. Great circle of friends.
