"Obama was speaking to partisan crowd of House Democrats at a retreat in Williamsburg, Va., and while praising the House for already passing his stimulus bill, he made a thinly veiled jab at Republicans for having "come to the table with the same tired arguments and worn ideas" that helped to cause the current economic crisis."

Bush Passes the first stimulus, and now that the Republicans want to thin down the Liberal Christmas list, and he calls it the same tired argument? I guess he wasnt paying attention the last few months.

"Without swift passage of his stimulus bill, Obama said, "an economy that is already in crisis will be faced with catastrophe.""


And this coming from aninexperienced, Jr. Senator. Whoops I mean president. Wonder what all this gloom and doom is doing for the stock market. I noticed it was up the last two days.

What is swift about 75% of the bill being spent a year or four from now? Clearly, he doesn't really think speed is essential or more would be spent right away. Socialism by fear.
