President campaigning the people to promote his economic recovery plan

Yesterday, President Obama held town hall meetings to talk to the American people about the economic recovery plan being delayed in Congress by bipartisanship. He also held a prime time news conference to talk about the issue. Treasury Secretary Geithner delayed plans to talk about TARP 2, the other half of the $700 billion financial bailout, until today so that the focus could be on the stimulus bill.

I applaud the President’s efforts for trying to do something bold to boost the economy and get people back to work. No one knows what the catalyst will be that gets the economy moving again. I hope Congress can put aside their differences and pass a bill so their can be movement in the right direction. The American people have put up with the failure of TARP, they will understand if the stimulus bill doesn’t work as it should but we appreciate a bill that’s thinking about us instead of Wall Street.
