Just call it what it is! Then when they try to say there's too much "spending" in it, everyone can roll their eyes!!!

Just call it what it is! Spending = stimulus, as Obama has so clearly pointed out today, so WTF, let's just be direct about it!!

PASS THE SPENDING BILL!! NOW!!!!

1. Obama just did in his speech to the democrats in Williamsburg
..."What do they think a stimulus package is? It's spending to restart the economy! That's the whole idea."

3. That was such an perfect quote. You could tell by his face that he was almost shocked that people
don't get it. He had that look like, c'mon, guys, stimulus IS spending! Get on it!

4. There is another spending bill coming up right behind the next big bank bailout bill-
Getting hard to keep track.

This next spending bill is , I think , the regular budget--Pelosi took it off the calendar temporarily.

I imagine some of the things taken out of this will be put into the next one-with fights of course.
