Read again what he said..."If we're fighting to reform the tax code and increase exports, the benefits cannot just translate into greater profits and bonuses for those at the top. They have to be shared by American workers, who need to know that opening markets will lift their standard of living as well as your bottom line,"

It would appear that he is simply stating that bonuses should not be increased only for the top based on tax reforms that reduce taxes. If the top receive additional bonus for doing nothing other than receiving the benfit of tax reform than it should be shared with all employees. If the top does not receive an additional bonus than no trickle down.

Depending on where you are in the pecking order probably determines how you feel about the statement. If the increased bonus stops with your boss you will agree wtih Obama. If you receive a larger bonus cause it is not shared than you will disagree with Obama. A federal tax reduction is not the result of anyone's direct action at a Company which increases the bottom line.

One can argue that it is not his place to bring up the subject. But, let's at least base our red herring on the what he said and how it impacts the bottom line.

Should anyone be entitled to a bonus based on tax reform?
