I agree with AZ. Jamie Dimon has done a superior job with J.P. Morgan. Now if he can only get Chase to give military families the 6% loans as per the presidential mandate.

I'd like to see Jamie Dimon from Chase on that list. He has managed to help the government with regulation and steer headed Chase to become a bigger financial giant than it already was.

Stock price, stock price, stock price. Nothing about what these CEO's do for the economy, jobs, the 50% of Americans who don't "own stock." These guys are just like the rest.

Warren Buffett at $100,000 doesnt make the cut?

There's at least one re-occurring theme here. Goldman Sachs. Is it true that they received 15 billion as a result of the AIG bailout and were part of the construction of the bailout? Is it coincidence that a chief competitor (Lehman Bothers) faltered around the same time?

Seems to me that as long as we have so much private funding / contribution in our elections (Goldman Sachs, among others, again), we will never have true representation of the people. How many former Goldman Sachs employees are on the Obama staff? How many were on the Bush staff?

And really...too much oversight for the federal reserve? What with SEC fumbles? I mean who is the Federal Reserve and what are their true interests?

So many questions. So little time...
