President Obama Hits the Road to Pass the Economic Stimulus Package
From Talking Points Memo:
The White House announced today that Florida Governor Charlie Crist will introduce President Barack Obama at a town hall meeting in Fort Myers to discuss the urgent need for a plan to help American families cope with the severe economic downturn and lay the foundation for our long term recovery. Statements from the President and Gov. Crist about tomorrow’s event are included below.
“I look forward to traveling to Ft. Meyers tomorrow to talk to Floridians about how we get our nation’s economy back on track. Gov. Crist and I have seen firsthand the toll that this economic crisis has taken on the American people, and we agree that we can’t allow politics to get in the way of urgent relief for the millions of families and small businesses that need it,” said President Barack Obama.
Here is what Big Tent Democrat has to say about it:
This is smart bipartisanship. Not only will Crist support the President on the stimulus, he will advocate for putting back the $40B in state aid the Beltway “bipartisan” BSers in the Senate took out of the bill. Well done Mr. President.
