And Obama did not ignore his requests to have joint town halls. He just said no.

uh huh... the economy is fundamentally STRONG..

uhhhh it is? That's why he's now freaking out and trying to act like SuperMan to the aid of the $700 bazillion dollar band-aid?

To be honest, I know some people (*cough*Bush*cough*) are pissed off that it's taking the Dems some time to sort out everything and make some much-needed amendments to this Band-Aide, but really, if he thinks everything was just going to sort itself out, he's a bigger idiot than I thought. I honestly like that they are taking time to make sure to put in some safeguards and stuff in there.

I work f-ing hard for my $. If they are going to just throw it at a bunch of irresponsible companies with no stipulations whatsoever, then I would be pretty pissed off. I like that they are trying to put in items in there so that people will know what the money is going towards... and limiting the amount of millions that crappy CEOs can get pretty much as a reward for running their companies and the economy into the ground.

This has been going on for MONTHS if not over a year or so. Why is this suddenly such a huge emergency for him? Especially a week or so after saying the economy was strong.
