What's Good For Wall Street Hopefully Obama will be replacing the big boys "What's good for General Motors…" had a certain logic to it Which soon will be applied to all the bank execs who blew it. CEOs and their directors who presided over losses Will be replaced now that we've seen how bad they've been as bosses Overpaid for what they do, each owned a second home Where he could do his fiddling while his underlings burned Rome. Term limits are what Congress needs to jetison old wood. Why wouldn't something similar for Wall Street do some good? With more accountability shouldn't Rubin have been fired Before he got to Citibank and "voluntarily" retired? E. Stanley did in Merrill Lynch before Ken Lewis bought it. So then he ends up on the board? Better flaunt it while you've got it, Before Obama's task force finds the time to get to you And, as with G.M.'s Wagoner, announces that you're through. As names like Blankfein, Pandit, Mack and Lewis leave the scene Perhaps the Wall Street culture will be able to come clean.
