Um…weren’t you lefties (and moderates) all up in arms over the pay of CEOs? And wasn’t that going to change under Obama? Or do you consider a 10.5 million compensation package (made up of stocks, cash and performance bonuses — just like a normal CEO) a mere pittance? It doesn’t seem very changey to me:

American International Group, the insurer that received billions of dollars in a U.S. bailout, said on Monday that it will pay newly-appointed Chief Executive Robert Benmosche an annual salary of $7 million.

In a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, AIG [AIG 30.25 3.61 (+13.55%) ] said the salary would consist of $3 million in cash and $4 million in fully-vested common stock. He will also be eligible for a performance bonus of up to $3.5 million.
