Bob Rubin – ‘no line responsibilities’

His Citi job description, to the tune of $115 million, will, in hindsight, certainly be the exact same job description as an Obama economic policy advisor.

To this day, he appears unable to say what exactly he did for the $115 million that he took out of Citi. "I think I've been a very constructive part of the Citigroup environment," he recently told the Journal, in defense of his tenure. Try selling that line at your next annual performance review, especially when asking for an eight-figure salary.

He sold it to a guy from the South Side of Chicago!

Mmmm, Smell the Change™!
