How 'bout we listen to this guy?

If, God help you, you've stumbled across Glenn Beck or Lou Dobbs in the last day or so, this video might bring your heart rate down a little. Organizing for America--basically the Obama campaign--just sent it out in an email.




late update: I posted in a hurry earlier, so I didn't really finish my thought. There's been a whole lot of Republican posturing on the stimulus. But as many have pointed out, Republicans had their shot to fix this last summer. And what did they do? They passed a tax rebate. With Democratic approval, of course. It was very bipartisan.

Did it fix the problem? Obviously not. Let's put aside who's actually to blame for this mess, although it's crystal clear in my mind. Let's just ask the practical question, who has the best ideas to fix it? We've tried the R solution: tax cut, tax credit, tax rebate. That's been the mantra for 8 years, and it simply hasn't worked.
