President Obama took the case for more than $ 800 billion in financial incentives directly to the American people Monday, Republicans accuse the pleasure of playing politics with a plan that is exactly what the country needs. "Fresh from a visit to Elkhart, Ind., where unemployment has risen over 15%, Obama used his news conference to press Congress to pass his package of new investments and tax cuts." I can not afford to see Congress play political games normal "Obama said." What do we do now is to deliver to the American people ".
The president touched on other issues - from war in Afghanistan to Iran - but the almost hour long news conference was dominated by economic issues that are of his administration in the 3 weeks old. As the Senate prepares to vote today on a $ 838 billion stimulus plan, and Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner is preparing to expose the administration's plan for how the other $ 350 billion financial rescue funds Obama said that both measures were necessary to get the country out of " the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression ".
"Do you only want the government to do something, or do you want to do something?" he said, referring to those who have said the stimulus plan is too large. "It is a little difficult for me to take criticism from people on this recovery package after they presided over a doubling of the national debt." The Republicans' defended his opposition to the stimulus plan in a few minutes of Obama's exit. "... The spending bill is full of unnecessary and wasteful programs that will saddle future generations with massive debt," said Michael Steele, the Republican national committee chairman.
The prime-time news conference in outer East Room at the White House was part of a campaign-style push for economic stimulus package. Obama wedged between the case in his visit to Indiana and today's planned trip to Fort Myers, Fla . Thursday, he will be in Peoria, Ill., where Caterpillar recently announced plans to cut more jobs. "If someone out there who still do not believe that this is a full-blown crisis, I suggest you speak with one of the millions of Americans who lives were turned upside down, because they do not know where their next paycheck comes from" Obama said, before taking the 13 questions.
