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."

0 saw him in June. There’s been talk of his being the Technology ‘czar.’ I think he has acted in this capacity during the ‘transition.’ Google edits our news for language, remember. Also, it has that ‘internet drives for everyone’ concept going on. And Google has ‘worked’ with the Communist Chinese to censor its Internet.

$800 billion here, a trillion there. It will all implode soon enough...

Check please...er never mind...
