This is great news! I'm very happy to see President Obama, and VP Biden, getting this pro-active to help Americans in this awful economy they inherited. America was losing jobs at a staggering rate, causing major turmoil in communities all across America. I'm amazed that they could get a RECOVERY plan together this soon.

Thank you, Mr. President for getting a plan together so fast, in just 100 days, to stop America's economic tail-spin, and help restore economic security with good green jobs, and jobs that rebuild our failing infrastructure. This is a plan for REAL LONG-TERM DOMESTIC SECURITY.

However, I'm very upset to see that the AP store this morning, "Obama's new stimulus plan same as the old," mentioned NOTHING about the "Roadmap to Recovery: A Plan to Accelerate Recovery Act Implementation." It's as if the reporters, BRETT J. BLACKLEDGE and MATT APUZZO, did not attend the press conference, and wrote the story with old notes. How could they NOT mention that the President ANNOUNCED a CONCRETE PLAN to ACCELERATE the Recovery Act?

This AP story is maybe the most unfair, misleading, un-informative story I have ever seen. In fact, the title of the story is a misleading lie. And to support the claim in the title, the reporters totally ignored the fact the President Obama has a real plan to ACCELERATE the Recovery. It's not about old and new stimulus. It should be about Obama's plan to ACCELERATE THE STIMULUS PACKAGE, called the RECOVERY ACT.

Moreover, the reporters did not even mention THE RECOVERY ACT. In fact, they only used the word "recovery" once, in a back-handed fashion with "Monday's announcement sought to reposition Obama in the driver's seat of America's recovery." President Obama did not "reposition" anything! And more importantly, he IS in the driver's seat... in just 100 days! Going full speed ahead, I might add. This AP story is pure journalistic hackery.

Shame on this AP story that totally lacks any journalistic integrity. We can not let our media misinform, and un-inform, the public about how President Obama, and Democratic leaders, are working hard to get our country back on track with a PROVEN PLAN FOR JOBS TO REBUILD OUR DETERIORATING INFRASTRUCTURE.

This AP story is the kind of trash I ONLY expect from biased wing-nuts like Rush. The AP should be very ashamed. How could they NOT want to tell the public about Obama's plan to ACCELERATE the stimulus, and not even mention the RECOVERY ACT? Clearly, these 2 reporters, and their Editor, do not want Americans to know what the President is doing to help middle-America, or have HOPE.

BYD,

The corporate media wants Obama to fail, too? The GOP is so desperate that they are probably blackmailing reporters and the news print outlets which are already vulnerable in this Bush economic meltdown.

It doesn't make sense how the Republicans are complaining about the Stimulus and then the media "forgets" it was ever passed. More Rove-speak.

I don't know if the GOP honestly thinks Obamas plan is the wrong approach to recovery, or whether they are simply to stupid to get it. They appear to be really limited in their approach to economic stimulus, believing the only way to recovery is "Tax Cuts". Now someone fill me in here. Any good economist will tell you the same thing FDR said 70 yrs ago, the best way to start the economy is "GIVE A MAN A JOB". That's where we're headed. The targets of GOP sponsored tax cuts have shown us time after time what happens when they recieve tax cuts. They always take the windfall and stick it in their wallets. Nothing for jobs. Nothing for Research. Nothing for infrastructure. Just the rich getting richer. Old talk from tired old men.
