Give him more time?
I couldnt find the youtube, but here is the transcript - look at what the HArvard Law professor had to say about salaries-

STEVE KROFT:

And now I think there are a lot of people say, "Look, we're not going to be able to keep our best people. They're not going to stay and work here for $250,000 a year when they can go work for a hedge fund, if they can find one that's still (LAUGHTER) working—

BARACK OBAMA:
I've told them directly. 'Cause I've heard some of this. they need to spend a little time outside of New York. Because— you know, if you go to North Dakota, or you go to Iowa, or you go to Arkansas, where folks would be thrilled to be making $75,000 a year— without a bonus, then I think they'd get a sense of why people are frustrated.

Huh? The President of the United STates is comparing the salaries of New York, Boston and San Francisco and saying, well you shold see what the make in ARKANSAS, IOWA and NORTH DAKOTA???????
That because MORON, the people who can do the job and get paid more money MOVE OUT OF AKANSAS, IOWA and NORTH DAKOTA!!! The market drives salaries. Whats the cost of living in Manhattan vs. ANYWHERE in North Dakota? I dont think I ever heard a more ignorant comment by a presidnet in my life.
