Considering the incredible amount of stuff on the man's plate, I can't imagine he has the ability to pay attention to every detail. As the exec trying to solve a strategic problem, the bonus issue is a smaller tangent that would be noise had it not erupted into a PR flap for Obama and the Senate.

A good leader doesn't let stuff like this be a distraction. It does appear that he needs more help though...
