Obama has dropped the ball, bigtime on the Stimulus [View All]

[crimsonblue]

Team Obama has allowed the GOP and media to frame the debate on the Stimulus package. The republicans send wave after wave of people to tv, radio, and print, and Obama is allowing this to happen. Obama needs to personally address the American public about the stimulus package and beat back the idiotic republican memes. He needs to understand that republicans will not vote for the package unless either: a) it has absurd amounts of tax cuts, or b) republicans receive a lot of pressure from their constituents. Obama needs to encourage people to contact their congressman and senators to make them vote for the package. There are a whole host of GOP congress critters that live in districts that went for Obama. Why isn't Obama using this?
