"Perhaps some companies will decide to comply for public-relations reasons. But it's disturbing that one of Obama's first major acts in office is classic Washington make-believe — something that seems like a sweeping reform but actually is nearly toothless. If the country is to have the change Obama promised voters in his campaign, genuine reform is required, not more exercises in Washington phoniness. Plus, if the new president stakes some of his prestige on what seems like a dramatic decision and it turns out a year from now that CEOs easily evaded the seeming "limits" and stuffed their pockets with tax money anyway, Obama will seem an ineffectual leader." Yeah … not happy.
