McCain nailed on "golden parachute" hypocrisy again
By SilentPatriot Monday Sep 22, 2008 7:20pm
After 40 days of avoiding the press, John McCain finally held a press conference today to address the bailout proposal. After basically reiterating what Barack Obama said a few hours earlier, McCain took a few questions from the press and showed why he avoided them for so long.

"I'm proud of her record, and so I want everybody to know that Carly Fiorina is a person that I admire and respect."
I'm sure Carly Fiorina is a nice lady, but the context in which the question was asked had to do with CEOs raking in millions of dollars, even as they leave their companies (and thus the economy) worse off than when they started. In other words, McCain employs and puts out there as the public face of his economic policy someone who embodies the very corrupt Wall St. practices McCain suddenly opposes. Change we can believe in? Hardly.
Check below the fold for a thorough accounting of Fiorina's tenure at HP. Read through some of the points and ask yourself: Is that a record worthy of admiration and respect?
Carly Fiorina's Record at Hewlett-Packard:
Fiorina Laid Off 20,000 Workers And H-P's Stock Fell By Half While She Was CEO." "Her poise and freshness have been offset at times by her inexperience and her contentious tenure at HP, during which she cut more than 20,000 jobs and the venerable technology company's stock fell by nearly half." [Los Angeles Times, 8/6/08, latimes.com]
Fiorina Received $42 Million Severance Package >From HP. After being "spectacularly" fired from Hewlett-Packard, Fiorina was awarded a severance package originally valued at $21 million, which "disgusted" corporate governance advocates at the time, but then The New York Times reported that the company also granted stock options and holdings valued at another $21.1 million, making her total a severance package of $42 million. Federal filings at the time indicated that HP helped Ms. Fiorina financially with her mortgage, relocation expenses, and taxes to the tune of 1.6 million between 1999 and 2003. [The New York Times, 6/6/08, nytimes.com; Associated Press, 2/9/05; Hewlett-Packard Proxy Statements (1999-2005); Securities and Exchange Commission, accessed 3/25/08; The New York Times, 2/12/05]
WP: Fiorina Fired After "Rocky" Tenure Marked By Scandal. "Fiorina's claim to fame was 5 1/2 rocky years at Hewlett-Packard, where she battled the company's founding families to push forward with a $19 billion purchase of Compaq Computer in 2002, then failed to create the profitable computer giant she had promised. In February 2005, she was publicly ousted by HP's board, but not before she ordered the first of a series of leak investigations that would spin into a highly publicized scandal." [Washington Post, 4/2/08]
H-P's Stock Rose 11 Percent After Word Of Fiorina's Ouster Spread. "H-P's stock, which has gone nowhere for two years and is down two-thirds from its peak in 2000, rose almost 7 percent after earlier soaring almost 11 percent on the news of her ouster." [Associated Press, 2/9/05]
Board: Fiorina Failed To Achieve Objectives. "Board members said they fired Fiorina, one of corporate America's highest ranking female executives, because she failed to execute a planned strategy of slashing costs and boosting revenue as quickly as directors had hoped. 'She made a lot of changes, including the merger with Compaq, layoffs, and reorganizations. A lot of employees resented her leadership,' said CBSNews.com Technology Analyst Larry Magid." [CBS.com; Associated Press 2/9/05]
Fiorina Called the Outsourcing of American Jobs 'Right Shoring.' As HP CEO, Fiorina made comments in Washington alongside Intel's CEO that "drew an unusually strong reaction from workers, who suggested the pair forfeit their own highly paid jobs to Chinese or Russian executives working for a quarter of their pay." Fiorina said that "there is no job that is America's God-given right anymore" and had also said called what is generally referred to as "offshoring," the outsourcing of jobs to cheaper labor centers overseas, as "right- shoring." [San Francisco Chronicle, 1/9/04; Investors Business Daily, 1/8/04]
Promoting Outsourcing, Fiorina Said U.S. Cant Be Distracted by 'Short Term Employment Concerns.' "[Fiorina] said the country cannot afford to be distracted by short-term financial and employment concerns. 'The biggest barrier [to solutions] is our nation's attention span,' she said." [Technews.com, 1/8/04; Washington Post, 1/8/04]
Fiorina Defended Outsourcing of Technology Jobs, Said No Job Is "America's God-Given Right." "There is no job that is America's God-given right anymore," said Carly Fiorina in 2004, chief executive for Hewlett-Packard Co, according to the AP. [Associated Press, 1/7/04]
Fiorina Expressed Support for NAFTA But "Data May Not Be All That Comforting." Fiorina said in an interview, "If you're in Ohio, and you've lost your job, and your community is suffering, the data from NAFTA may not be all that comforting, and we have to acknowledge that people are really having a difficult time," which is why McCain wants to focus on worker retraining, Fiorina said.

McCain's "golden parachute" was Cindy's fortune. He ditched his former wife and grabbed the rich girls golden parachute
Hah! He doesn't look too happy about the fact that Obama's press conference essentially smoked him out of his hole!
Wow. His answer bore absolutely no relation to any of the three questions that the reporter asked! Not only could he not remember the questions, he's given up trying to appear that he remembers them. It's not just the answers to the questions McCain forgets...it's the questions themselves. Egad.
Pericles @ 3:
Don't worry Gallup/USA today will rig the polls and give him a +10 lead over Obama in no time!
OT WTF is wrong with Bill Clinton??? He just can't stop saying nice things about McCain. I am so sick of everyone talking about what a hero McCain is. HE IS NOT A HERO!!! Clinton does everything but come right out and endorse Obama. He can't even say, "Obama!" Instead when talking about McCain so glowingly he then says he will PROBABLY vote for the other candidate. If he thinks no one is noticing this he is terribly wrong. He and Hillary can take a flying leap as far as I am concerned. If and when she ever decides to try for the presidency again I will PROBABLY vote for the other candidate. At this point I honestly believe he and Hillary when they are in the voting booth will vote for McCain. What a couple of losers.
Carly is and was a tool when it comes to running a company.
On a lighter note, AP and Fox Noise is reporting Rick Davis has been taking money from Freddie Mac for the last three years...it only ended last month...
They need to hammer Weathervane McCain on THAT hypocrisy since he has been lying about Obama's connection to Fannie and Freddie.
McCain Supports ‘Golden Showers’ for CEOs
wow, seriously? Is he even trying at this point?
He is such an Old Jerk Off and its all on display for us to see.
Go home and take a nap McCain, you have NO CLUE.
He is purely a self-entitled, clueless, ill tempered IDIOT! WTF kind of fluff was THAT supposed to be?
Double talk = twice the bullshit..
And I'm outta beer at a time like this?!
Oh - thank goodness...scotch!
McCain's ALWAYS "proud" of (name here)'s record, whatever that record may be.
Hey John, name one business decision Fiorina has made that makes you "proud"
Dusty@7
It will be the same thing again in the way he answered about Fiorina. McCain will forget the question and go on to say how much he thinks of Davis and he is a good man.
Shouldn't a progressive video blog be touting Michael Moore's new movie, which is available as a free download?
This blog really seems to have lost its way.
You can never ever trust stupid lying greedy republicans.
The truth is not in them they are lying greedy assholes that care only for themselves and money.
If you vote republican you are just a fascist bastard.
republican = insanity!
Someone turn this into a commercial...!
When it rains, it pours...
McCain Aide’s Firm Was Paid by Freddie Mac
WASHINGTON — One of the giant mortgage companies at the heart of the credit crisis paid $15,000 a month from the end of 2005 through last month to a firm owned by Senator John McCain’s campaign manager, according to two people with direct knowledge of the arrangement. The disclosure undercuts a statement by Mr. McCain on Sunday night that the campaign manager, Rick Davis, had had no involvement with the company for the last several years.
Silent Patriot,
You say, "I'm sure Carly Fiorina is a nice lady.............."
You are joking, right?
Anyone notice that while all these looooooong negiotiations are happening the market has not bottomed out? It's gone down nothing like 1929 or 1987.
So what's the rush? I propose we take the "George W. Bush" strategy. Wall Street demands an answer soon? Send them a memo. CEO's come begging? Send them a memo. Federal Reserve Chairman makes dire threats? Send them a memo.
Obama should hold a rally in the midwest parodying Jeff Foxworthy. "If you own 13 homes... you might be John McCain"; "If you can't remember your position on the economy that you stated 3 hours before... you might be John McCain"; "If you think CEO's should get giant golden parachutes... you might be John McCain" and so on.
sooth Hussein sayer @ 17:
The New York Times ran that, Sunday, I believe. I gave the heads up about it to our little left-leaning local paper. The figure they used for compensation to Davis was $30,000.00 a month.
do not be so sure that carly is a nice lady.
The NY Times ran the story today.
John Galt @ 19:
That is NOT the George W. Bush strategy. The Goerge W. Bush strategy is:
Exxon and Cop need more crude oil? Send in the Army to invade Iraq day after tomorrow. Who GIVES a shxt if we haven't even bothered to plan for an occupation. Dick and Wolfie say we'll be greeted as liberators, and the invasion 'll pay for itself, and that's all the "thinkun" that needs do-un.
So...this bail out seems to be entirely consistent with the Bush strategy.
That stuff about sending memo after memo after memo only applies to supboenas and requests for information from Congress.
Remember the "Stimulus Checks"? Let our wise and beneficent government give the CEO's approximately Three Hundred dollars, like most Americans got. And give each American One Million dollars (lots cheaper than the current Bailout Plan). Now there's a stimulus plan. Everyone can pay off mortgages & car loans and vicious credit cards...
I own my home & cars outright, and even tho my Husband & I don't make huge amount of money, we are doing fine, paying bills on time & putting away savings (tho the 1% interest is disgusting).
Relieve the American People of crushing debt before helping the International Corporations, or their CRIMINAL CEOs.
Another example of McCain not keeping his lies straight. I just wonder how much do we, the American people, have to take from this man his shrill harpy of a running mate?
McCain is starting to become an embarrassment.
Welcome to the 'conservative' mindset.
"Behaviour X is unacceptable...except in the case of me or my friends. In which case there is always an excuse, the fallback being that we are really fine people, so this doesn't apply in our case."

Whats a mere $700 billion to fatten up the xmas bonuses of Wall Street, compared to the news from CNN that millions of poor children in America have untreated tooth decay and a lot of their parents cant afford to get them ttreated or cant find any dentis willing to treat them on Medicaid.
So lets all cheer Paulson and his $700B, and yahboo sucks to the poor kids, that'ly teach em to have poor parents.
(CNN) -- Millions of poor American children have untreated tooth decay, some of them because they cannot find a dentist willing to treat them, a federal report issued Tuesday said.

Sarah Palin, Carly Fiorina...McKeating has oodles of respect for women and knows what they want.
sorry, but, as much as I despise McCain and everything he and his party stand for, I thought that to be a reasonable answer... although, the inarticulate McCain could have explained the Freddie Mac thing better. I still hope he burns in hell..

What is it with these Republicans? Again we are treated with utter contempt by McCain for not even bothering to answer the question asked - but to ramble on about his respect and admiration for a woman that his own team have removed from all further election interviews or appearances.
What is most sad is that Carly was also high on the list of potential VPs by the McCain team.
They should have picked the only smart powerful woman they had - Condy Rice.
No wait - she is black -so therefore a muslim - and she isn't married - therefore a lesbian - and has no children - therefore PRO-CHOICE!
I think someone else linked this earlier but if not this article by Brigadier General Karpinski about Palin . This iis such a good read
http://www.truthout.org/article/palin-can-launch-us-back-time
"Palin, however, is a dangerous choice and her style goes against the grain of feminists and women everywhere. We spent years seeking equality, and ask only for a level playing field where we can find credit for our accomplishments and capabilities and the opportunities to compete fairly. Sarah Palin can launch us back in time and remove years of progress, albeit slow and incomplete. She encourages men and women to be drawn first to the sexuality and beauty of a woman before making a decision about her credibility, intelligence and leadership."
McC is a joke- and a bad one at that.

Can you believe that the media was allowed all of 29 seconds to cover the meeting between Hamid Karzai and Sarah Palin today:
When Gov. Sarah Palin sat down with President Hamid Karzai of Afghanistan on Tuesday afternoon, the polite preliminaries to their conversation centered around children, as Mr. Karzai spoke of the birth of his first child last year.
"What is his name?" Ms. Palin was heard to ask, as she met with Mr. Karzai in the suite of a midtown hotel, according to a pool report.
"Mirwais," Mr. Karzai replied. "Mirwais, which means, 'The Light of the House.'"
"Oh nice," Palin responded.
"He is the only one we have," Mr. Karzai said.
Then the pool of journalists was escorted out, and the meeting began.
*****************
WTF????? I mean really, WTF????
Does the McCain campaign really think they are going to be able to continue to control media access to Palin? Don't the voters have the right to hear direct comments from a candidate for VP of the most powerful nation on earth (at least it was last week)?
If they are this scared of what Palin might say, can you imagine the panic they must be in heading into the debates????
Between McCain's brain cramps, and Palin's apparent inability to string two sentences together, the McCain campaign seems to be imploding? And yet, the race is still a dead heat. Go figure???????????????????
While McCain's statement in no way responded to the actual question (or at least the thrid part of the question asked, which was the only part pertaining to CF) his "evade and dissemble" manuver struck me as nothing more than SOP on the campaign trail, not much different from anything I've seen anywhere else over the past 40 years or so (with the possible exception of Barack Obama in most cases.)
I'm not optimistic that anyone outside of the already-opposed will do much with it, and I doubt it contributed much to the already strong impression of incompetence McCain projects on economic issues.
But there's good reason to hope that his strong and consistent pattern of overall incompetence will be enough that highlighting his use of such SOP will not be necessary, come November.
Don't be hard on the poor fellah - he was a POW

so people can cross statelines...that's NOT going to work. his plan will continue the status quo the tax
cuts he talks about won't keep pace with healthcare
cost and inflation. the paying pool size has to increase
in member numbers. more people in the pool will
reduce cost. having healthcare will positively affect
other parts of peoples lives...capitalists elitists don't
want us to have it.NO regulation same deal....it
will be like 'deadwood'
So now instead of Healthcare we will have Wealthcare.

Kathleen @ 44:
Great find. :) Thank you for posting this article because it possessed penetrating insight into what we are getting into with Sarah Palin. This part should be added to the must read portions of this article because it explains so much about this woman in a nutshell:
That's all she is. I mentioned this before, but she is the equivalent of fascism spread-eagled in a Playboy magazine. Her run for Vice-President is disgusting and belittles the achievements of hard-working women everywhere.
I hope that the American people can be at least sensible when making their choices this Nov. 4th.

Actually, we were wrong. Assuming we use US definitions of the terms and a US population of 305 million, we'd be able to give each US citizen a little over $2000 dollars each--still not bad. Now if we use the system used by most Europeans, where a billion is equivalent to a US million (a one followed by twelve zeros), you'd indeed save us over 50%!

The medical "health insurance" industry is borderline criminal. I haven't had medical insurance for about 20 years as the costs have been so prohibitive I quit asking about it.
I happened to see an ad for Blue Cross/Blue Shield about a year ago so I thought I'd make an inquiry. This was the deal: At the age of 50 something I'd have to pay $500/mo. for A YEAR then prove after a year that I had no pre-existing conditions, THEN they would start the coverage ($2000 deductible)!!!
The American taxpayers deserve better.
This video demonstrates why McCain is ignoring the press. He's an idiot.

General Jack D. Ripper @ 68:
LOL. Grandpa and his equal stupid hench-bitch will actually attempt to avoid the press until the election. McFraud is clearly afraid to allow Palin to speak on her own.
"I’m sure Carly Fiorina is a nice lady, "
Silent, read what you wrote. Nice Lady? Not so much.
The one thing about Fiorina's parachute is, HP was not bailed out using tax payer money, whereas Fannie and Freddie was. However, I think corporate governance needs to be reformed a bit, especially in these arrangements where a minority of shareholders hold special classes of stock that control the company.
One has to wonder about McCain's judgment if he's picking Phil "Mr. Enron" Gramm to get advice from. I wonder if regular Republicans would have voted in the primaries for Romney if they knew about the economy then, what they know now, because it doesn't look like they could have picked worse for the economy than McCain. And, you gotta remember, McCain didn't get rid of Gramm because of any policy differences, only because Gramm made a fool of himself in public. What, Gramm said we're a nation of whiners, and McCain said the economy was fundamentally sound (so stop whining). They're on the same page.
oh really @ 70:
nothing of course because it's based on nothing. somebody in lala land. carly is good at propping up
the 'sexism shield' for Palin...and getting fired from
HP....she's there for female voters
oh really @ 70:
And angry Grandpa completely evaded the question.
He is a fuckin embarrassment
Um, no. Fiorina is not a nice lady. Want to see what she was like as CEO of HP? search for that name on Slashdot. Workers were literally dancing in the aisles when she got canned.
I got seasick just watching McCain's head bob when the question was being asked. One of these days, if the media keep asking him relevant questions, he'll blow up like a woodtick on a candlewick and then it'll be game/set/mandate Obama.
SilentPatriot, I know that you're trying to show a bit of diplomacy, but I don't see how anyone can describe Golden Chute Carly as a "nice Lady." Somebody who fires 20,000 workers, then takes $40M for driving a company into the ground is not "nice."
McSame is a person of privilege with lots of money and material wealth. He has absolutely NO idea what a blue collar worker has to confront daily to make ends meet at the end of the month when bills are due! A golden parachute is just part of the game to him. He and his Repuke friends have destroyed the financial system, written laws to enslave people by creditors and caused millions of citizens to loose their homes and meager family savings. Meanwhile they want more public money to cover their greedy asses that their tax breaks keep them from contributing to!
These rotten bastards do not have a single bone of decency within their slime covered caucuses. Repukes are disgusting greedy creatures.
Jo @ 21:
Ho Lee Shit. This should be bulletin board material.
Between he, Fiorina and Gramm, McLame dont have a leg to stand on.
God love him; he's lost his mind.

Somebody wanna check Carly's closet and see if there's a blue dress there with ex-fighter pilot jock semen on it?
Is McCain chief campaign adviser Rick Davis going to return the $15k a month he was getting from Freddie and Fannie up until last month
McCain throws a weak punch and leaves his entire body open to a well deserved and very overdue pummeling
Something tells me that McSame vetted Carly like he vetted Sarah.
McCain doesn't like to have to answer to anyone. He's a maverick that way. Which means he doesn't like to answer the hard questions from the press. How's he gonna answer the hard questions from the American public? He's not gonna like that either.
And yet McCain said the other day that he thought that she had done a good job at H.P.
IN WHAT RESPECT, CHARLIE?
Ya know, If ya all don't like McCain I just wish you would stop tippy toeing around it and come out and say it. Why be so subtle. I wasn't sure the wasn't another McCain Palin site. You all need to be more forward and direct in your comments.
Don't forget that Carly Fiorina was involved in the HP pretexting mess.

ANSWER THE DAMM QUESTION!!
I read this on another blog and found it fitting
While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75-year old Texas rancher whose hand was caught in a gate while working with cattle, the doctor struck up a conversation with the old man. Eventually, the topic got around to Sarah Palin and her bid to to be a heartbeat away from being President.
The old rancher said, "Well, ya know, Palin is a post turtle."
Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a post turtle was.
The old rancher said, "When you''re driving down a country road and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that''s a post turtle."
The old rancher saw a puzzled look on the doctor''s face, so he continued to explain.
"You know she didn't get up there by herself, she doesn't belong up there, she doesn't know what to do while she is up there, and you just wonder what kind of dumb Ass put her up there to begin with."
a role model for young women---who want to be steal...in a really big way.
Britisher @ 12:
..sure an easy question...how many employee telephone/e-mail accounts were "tapped' at H-P
McCain couldn't wait to point the finger at somebidy else, could he?
Fiorino is an idiot.. whatever native intelligence she brought to the table, she negated; she turned herself into a drooling idiot by indulging her arrogance and sense of entitlement.
McCain missed the obvious point, that all CEO's and executives started somewhere at the entry level. The successes and the failures, those with a social conscience and those who are predatory social parasites. It isn't a matter of origins, it's a matter of character and personal integrity. Of course.....he doesn't get it.
Fiorino is a poster child for this whole mess. She was simply a welcomed member of the corporate/Wall Street "club" and measured herself on well she played that game. Her "competence" to actually run HP in a manner that benefitted the company, the employees, and their customers did not matter as much as her ability to look good in press conferences and at cocktail parties (networking, you know.) Compensation for these folks, if you have been paying attention, has nothing to do with performance in the job. It is set by a "gentlemen's (and women's) agreement through committees and consultants who run around stuffing each other's pockets.
And she has the nerve to say that none of the candidates are qualified to run a major corporation - like she was!
She is simply part of the tiny group of the wealthy and ultra-wealthy that McCain and his wife fawn at the heels of. This should be enough to show them door along with the rest of their arrogant, self-serving buddies.
Was Carly Fiorina a POW?
Actually, she's not a "nice lady." She's a miserable, nasty c*nt.
Kathy @ 25:
Oooh! Oooooh! Den we canz all has cheezburgers!!! $1,000,000 X 400,000,000 Americans = $400,000,000,000,000 (that's four hundred trillion dollars, if you're counting. More money than there IS.)
