Philippe Escande, Les Echos: "What's the salary for failure? Five hundred thousand dollars, answers Barack Obama. That's still a lot of money, all the same, but apparently it is only a tenth of the annual emolument for a big banking boss, such as Citigroup's CEO. So it's a form of divine punishment the very Protestant president of the Republic wants to inflict on those miscreants of finance who have still not understood that the party is over. Or who, perhaps, understanding that it is winding up, are attempting to glean some last few crumbs before making their final bow."
