We are in the infancy of the Obama administration which has yet to kick into gear and begin addressing issues long festering within our government. Virtually every department and agency is years behind on enforcement of their duties and responsibilities from FDA inspections, FTC complaints, SEC oversight (we have no status on at least $5trillion in mortgages), USPS backlogs, etc... In short our government has been operating at a reduced level for some time not necessarily due to funding issues but management issues. While the nation's need of a stimulus may be debated by the masses, the government's need for leadership and restructuring in all areas is absolute and may be accomplished without massive spending and may lead to financial gains once a thorough audit has been accomplished. The new cabinet factor may yield an unexpected bonus simply by kick-starting our government again!!!

looks like there will be any excuse made to make AMERICANS THAT WERE BORN HERE go backwards and earn what the foreigners from aborad come here to work for. there go the unions obama says. nothing the democrats can say or do will change things.wall street should be penalized for what they did to us. we will never ever have it so good again. we need anotyher industrial revolution, which will not happen, because the rest of the world is smart and has better work ethics than us. we are doomed. I dare you to prove otherwise.

Tough times sometimes call for a little "politics of fear" to push a massive spending bill through. And don't let Rush Limbaugh go and tell you otherwise.

Would you have rather had John McCain giving the presidential address today with his clueless and dishonest take that "the fundamentals of our economy are strong"?
