We'll be better off when Obama is out of office.
That depends on who takes over in 2012 or 2016, as the case may be.

Yea, no body on the current repub roster looks more desirable

This thread is too much.
The role of a CEO is to improve the value of the company they work for. While profitability is certainly an important piece in gaining market capital, it is not as black or white as many make it out to be.
For example, a company that gives all of their profits to shareholders will not be nearly as valuable as if they were to retain it as cash (or owners' equity). This is an essential rule to financial modeling; markets will always discount dividends PRIOR to disbursement, ceteris paribus.
You're optimistic.
HOPE and CHANGE baby!! Hope and Change....
Resurgent executive pay has some corporate watchdogs worried that companies have already forgotten the lessons of the bust. Boards have promised to tie executive pay to company success, but by some measures pay is rising faster than performance. The median pay raise for chief executives last year — 23 percent — was roughly in line with the increase in net corporate profits. But it far exceeded the median gain in shareholders’ total return, which was 16 percent, as well as the median gain in revenue, which was 7 percent.
You are either dreaming or smoking some serious stuff if you believe that..
We have had the tax cuts for about 10 years now.. Where are the jobs??
Republicans haven't let the dems make any major changes.. The tax cuts at the cost of $320 billion a year are still there.. Stimulus wasn't as big as we wanted.. No public option to control healthcare costs.. And you shmucks look to dems to fix this..
Welcome to the republican economy..
Which is better for the economy?? Some moron putting his millions in the bank to do nothing?? Or lower class people getting a raise who will most definately spend it buy things they don't have??
If you need belp with that then your an idiot..
The 3% of the people that are rich do not stimulate or drive the economy.. The 97% that are not so rich do.. The sooner republicans realise that the better.. Help the poor and you help the economy.. Not that you all care.. You are trying to kill the economy to regain the white house.. The drun beat blaming the dems has already started.. Even though repubs have prevented the dems from actually fixing the economy..
Typed using my Evo Shift.. Sorry for typos..

Thank you. I'm having a reaction to the fact that the money is there, yes? The economy is recovering. For some.
Capital isn't only gained by investment, its gained also by people spending money on the product/service you provide. Take my same example and apply it to a car company. Those people that got a 50k bonus now have enough money to buy the car they make and couldn't afford prior. Many would buy the car as a sign of loyalty and wealth.
The market doesn't determine CEO positions, thats the point. You can see if a CEO is good if the CEO makes the company more profitable, or keep profit around the same level despite dire economic conditions. If your company is hemerging money and you stay as CEO, you aren't staying because of the market.
The market for corporate CEO's is gamed in favor of the CEO's through compensation commitees. And any gamed market is not a reliable indicator of value
Bad CEO's are typically kicked out, by the way.
Unless you are a shareholder, why is it any of your damn business.
The fact that you are asking where to get one is all the evidence anyone needs that you are not qualified. :dohyes, with a ten million dollar "golden parachute". Where can I get a temp job as a CEO again?

I guess I'm just pessimistic because I think we're just as screwed regardless of who is in office.
If so, then I 100% share you pessimism except there actually ARE tea party candidates who wouldn't do that - although they're referred to as "tea baggers" by the Democratic left wing of politics and are derided as inconsequential and "extremists".
