Obama to US bankers: "My administration is the only thing between you and the pitchforks."
Arrayed around a long mahogany table in the White House state dining room, the CEOs of what were once the most powerful financial institutions in the world offered several explanations for paying high salaries to their employees. At each place around the table sat a single glass of water. For those who finished their glass, no refills were offered. And no group photograph was taken of the CEOs with the president. It was a wake for yesterday's men.
