President Obama held a "very sober meeting" about the economy with 10 of the nation's business leaders at the White House Wednesday as the House debated his proposed $825 billion economic stimulus package.
"They understand when it comes to rebuilding our economy, we don't have a moment to spare," Mr. Obama said of the chief executive officers attending the meeting. "They are looking for action from Washington, bold and swift."

Is that what they call double speak? Like that’s gonna work.
He's looking for the best way to crash and burn the USA so that he can establish a dictatorship.
By interviewing the people who know what needs to be done, he can do the opposite, thereby furthering his own ambition and power.
I'm astounded that smart people don't realize this.
The fact is that Obama has embraced the fallacies of Fabian Socialism--the Keynesian approach to any business downturn--which destroy the resources of the affluent, while creating the illusion of problem solving. Since the destruction of assets is real, problems are only made worse in the long run.
As a stab at trying to address the fallacies being promoted, the February feature at my Conservative Web Site deals with The Function Of Money--A Medium Of Exchange. I hope that some will find it enlightening and useful.

“Pot had helped, and booze; maybe a little blow when you could afford it...” Barack Obama.
Anyone here could have told these leaders what to expect with Obama but it's great that they now have heard it firsthand.
Sober, maybe. But O was all coked up after Alec and flew some nose candy for him in from the Left Coast.
There are a number of kid's games where the winning strategy is based on this sort of thinking -- see what you're opponent is trying to accomplish and just make sure that they can't achieve that goal. Secondarily, see if you can accomplish your own goal.
Zero (looking at teleprompter): “We want to spread your wealth around. It’s good for everyone.”
Kodak rep: “But there’s no more wealth to spread around.”

Obama's Economy Warning System Is Red
Severe risks. More government spending needed immediately.
Its gonna be a long four years for Mr Obaaaama.
Xerox? Google? How do they impact the economy and how will creating “green jobs” impact them? I guess people will be Googling “green jobs” to find out what they are LOL
If Obama were giving me $Billions, I'd want "bold and swift" action as well.
Since it's Americans that will be paying the $Trillions, we're not as thrilled with the whole "bold and swift" thing.
Sober meeting? No cocaine? No cocktails? Oh what a world!
Did they have a monkey to go with the tin cups????
They are dunk on tax money and high on bailouts.
1600 Pennsylvania Ave. is now Studio 54.
Bet they did not drive Chevy's to Washington.
Glad he got BET in there. Wonder why P Diddy wasn't invited?
Maybe since the government is buying up controlling interest, or at least buying some strong say so in how they are run, in these industries, and banks.
I wonder how many of those “business leaders” actually started their businesses?
I’m guessing none.
They should be called “administrators.”
Sounding more desperate by the hour - all that pork almost within reach and the public relations alarm clock is ticking.
