By SHERYL GAY STOLBERG and HELENE COOPER
President Obama used his presidential platform to address concerns about his economic recovery plan, which has won little Republican support.

WannaBeBlue Comment:
Texas Senators, John Cornyn & Kay Bailey Hutchinson just do not get it. Their partisan obstruction is delaying the passage of the Economic Stimulus bill & it has gone on long enough. Now their stalling and grandstanding tactics are endangering this legislation needed to forestall a slippery slide into the depth of another and greater depression than the 1930’s.WannaBeBlue has made it easy for you. Easy to let your voice be heard and before you say, it wouldn't do any good they’re Republicans and not going to change their minds, consider this. If they do not receive a flood of messages against their obstructionist stance they will only become more confident that their Senate seats are strong, safe, & secure.Polls show the public is split over the stimulus plan. A slight majority, 54 percent, favors the bill; 45 percent are opposed. Let’s make a difference send your message. If you would rather call use the phone numbers listed.
