In his interview with Barbara Walters, President-Elect Obama asks for simple decency this holiday season:WALTERS: Should bank executives -- it's almost Christmas time -- forgo their bonuses?
OBAMA: I think they should. That's an example of taking responsibility. I think that if you are already worth tens of millions of dollars, and you are having to lay off workers, the least you can do is say, "I'm willing to make some sacrifice as well, because I recognize that there are people who are a lot less well off, who are going through some pretty tough times."
How much is enough, Gordon Gekkos? People are suffering while you pad your wallets. How much is enough?
