Wall St. mogul picked for State Department post
Nides raised Clinton cash

President Obama's nominee for deputy secretary of state has earned more than $8 million in salary and bonuses since January 2009 as an executive at a Wall Street bank that received a federal bailout.
Thomas R. Nides, a six-figure fundraiser for Hillary Rodham Clinton during her 2008 presidential run, disclosed his compensation from Morgan Stanley in a recent filing with the U.S. Office of Government Ethics.
Mr. Nides, the company's chief operating officer, also said he remains eligible for additional bonus money at Morgan Stanley, which repaid its share of the federal bailout last year.
As deputy secretary of state for management and resources, Mr. Nides would replace Jacob Lew, who is awaiting confirmation as Mr. Obama's federal budget chief and whose own nearly $1 million bonus at bailed-out banking giant Citigroup last year came under scrutiny.

Seems like only a week ago that Obama was telling me about the evil thieves on Wall Street....collecting unfair compensation and bonus money while accepting federal bailout taxpayer funded welfare.....
Thats what comes out of the hypocrite Obamas mouth on the left side....
along with, "Its all Bush's fault".....
In 2007, he vowed to "close the revolving door" and "clean up both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue" with "the most sweeping ethics reform in history.".....what bullshit.
Harry Reid .... "I'm pleased that the Obama administration is using all of the tools in its arsenal to bring accountability to Wall Street." ......more bullshit......
