President Obama seems to think that bonuses are evil. Mr Obama was responding to a report showing that financial sector employees received $18.4bn (£12.9bn) in bonuses last year, amid dire financial crisis.

Could it be that the mask is slipping off of the Massachusetts Democrat posterboy? Over the past week the pressure has been ratcheting up on Barney Frank (D-MA) and his answers are getting more and more testy, which is something considering the source.
