President Barack Obama is mad. That gives him something in common with the rest of us.

He’s been in office for only about a week, but Obama already is showing he’s not above showing a little emotion.

Yesterday the new president was clearly aggravated as he unleashed his anger on Wall Street after learning that executives handed out $18 billion in bonuses with one hand while holding the out the other, seeking billions more in federal bailout money.

Obama called it “shameful” and “the height of irresponibility.”

This in a week when upwards of 80,000 Americans learned they were losing their jobs.

The economy is in meltdown mode. And yet these barons of Wall Street continue to line their pockets.

Shameful? These guys are beyond shame.

Obama called on them to show some discipline and responsibility.

I hope he’s not holding his breath.
