fannie mae has lost money in 16 of the last 17-quarters. you can't be rewarding that kind of nonperformance. that's what has people outraged. but to your point about whether or not congress can do anything about it, they can but it takes some time to get things through the congress. my question is where is the president in all of this? why can't the president, these people work for him, he sets the pay, and they set the pay, he should come in and suspend the bonuses right now. but there is legislation working its way through the congress. the house, as you said, has already acted. there was a vote yesterday in the committee, financial services committee, 52-4 in favor of suspending the bonuses. the senate has a couple amendments filed we are hoping to get action on it soon. it has congress worked up and i think it has the american people worked up and with good reason. >> where is the president. has he said anything?
