1. Ecomomic recovery has to reach the people faster. This is an ok plan for business,

but their has to be a faster way to put money into the pockets of the working class.

2. It is a damn good start and the money WILL go into the hands of the workers who build the plants and

products. What could possibly be wrong with this idea? It is one piece. It is part of a start beyond last year's stimulus. It moves in the right direction. This is a very, very deep recession that Mr. Obama didn't cause, and Mr. Obama is working hard on it. But he's not a magician. Cut the man a break. He's trying.

3. He and his appiontees are trying very hard to

Help Wall Street. Not to help Main Street.

By March of 2009, already Bernanke and Geithner had let loose the flood gates of 12 Trillion bucks (Great video promoted at Americancasinothemovie.com)

Our children and our grandchildren will be paying this off. And meanwhile since the money was DESIGNED not to flow to us, then we will be living in slums.

My county is at 17 percent unemployment. How is your area doing?

5. Tax breaks, tax cuts, stop gaps for state budgets

escalation of war in Afghanistan - 100s of billions of permanent "loans" to banks. Many states are using this to pay for work that was already on the books as far as budget. There are rare exceptions, but in general he did not make the case for putting jobs in America first. He bailed out the rich using the theory that benefits would eventually trickle down to the rest of us. The rich eat a lot of hamburgers and need the oil changed in their BMWs. They loaded up the money canons and have been firing cash at Wall Street non-stop.

Sound familiar? Same as early neo-cons who later bloomed into the republican party we have today. It takes more than just being a bit better than Bush to have a great first year.

4. Nope, its just as crooked as Geithner -nt

6. I suppose the road doesn't seem straight....

when you have two drunk (with power) drivers (Geithner and Summers) swerving you all over the place.

Replace the drivers and the method in which they steer and that road gets a whole hell of a lot straighter in a hurry.
