Good idea for the President to go Indiana and Texas?

[Arnold Hayes]

It was a brilliant idea for the President to go to Indiana and Texas to promote his economic stimulus plan. Not only did it get the debate going again, it gave the President valuable face time to define his message. His first press conference did not hurt ether. In it he specified the urgency of the bill and put pressure on those that would oppose him to pass it. Well today they did pass the stimulus bill, the DOW was down about 300 points but so what!.

Let’s now go on to the next faze of this mess which is building confidence, helping home owners and getting people back to work as quickly as possible. Look for transparency and for the Administration to be up front about where the monies are going. This issue is clearly not over and the debate will continue. I believe the President made a great first step, my blood pressure sure seems like it is a little lower.
