The desired effect is admiration for his idealism, but a low-income college student turning down thousands of dollars essentially because he “hasn’t even been to Puerto Rico” smacks...

Indeed, outrage was the theme of politician, pundit and President of the United States at each new revelation about the bonuses paid out of federal bailout money to AIG executives. There was so much outrage, in fact, that furious red overtook St. Patrick's green as the color of the day.
