W 'astounded' at fat cat pay

WASHINGTON - President Bush said yesterday he's "astounded" by some of the astronomical salaries that corporate CEOs collect and thinks companies should rethink the practice.

"I don't think government should control salaries, but I would hope shareholders would take a close look at some of these compensation packages that they pay these corporate executives who are able to make money when the company is not doing well sometimes," Bush told CNBC's "money honey" Maria Bartiromo.

"I get astounded by the size of the pay packages," said Bush, who is paid $400,000 a year.

JF, > Seriously, your Korea plan is much better than the Bush plan and/or actions. What does that tell you?

- That Bush never had a plan to begin with?

- That Bush is too distracted by Iraq?

- That Bush as well as the State Department is still stuck in a Cold War mentality?

Take your pick.
