Rod Blagojevich AP Play Video Barack Obama Video: Web only: Obama names intelligence team WRAL Raleigh Reuters President-elect Barack Obama arrives to make a speech on the economy at George Mason University in Fairfax, WASHINGTON President-elect Barack Obama said Friday that he and Congress will "hone and refine" his nearly $800 billion economic recovery plan, as he seeks to patch fissures with senior Democrats over key features of the still-emerging plan.
The job was made more urgent with the release of a Labor Department report showing job losses of 524,000 in December and a 7.2 percent unemployment rate, the highest in 16 years.
Obama said he welcomed input from lawmakers in both parties. His plan is getting off to a rocky start, with top Democrats openly slamming key provisions, especially the design of his tax cuts.
"If members of Congress have good ideas, if they can identify a project for me that will create jobs in an efficient way that does not hamper our ability over the long term to get control of our deficit, that is good for the economy, then I'm going to accept it," the president-elect said.

Socialism is not interested in the improvement of a capitalist society. Only a socialist society with the government at the top of the pyramid. More taxation to move more public and corporate wealth to the government is essential if Obama is to live up to his campaign promises and his ideology and mentorship.
Might as well rubber-stamp this scenario. Good socialist -- bad socialist. With Obama always SAYING what people want to hear, then only to have it changed like he wants it. The socialist freight train is coming. Thank you liberal voters.
refined caca
obama’s acting isn’t very convincing, either.
uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh.
[Best Homer Simpson voice]: "New and IMPROVED caca!"
Meaning his advisors have no idea how to fix this...
Refined to the old “Five Year Plans” of the USSR.
Earth to Obamaloon:
To refine your plan, you might try coming up with a plan first.
Who thinks Obama doesn’t know what he said yesterday, or what he plans to say tomorrow? Who thinks the only thing true about Obama is he is in way way over his head.
in other words, he realizes his other plan isn’t gonna fly.

I’m losing track...is he on the flip or the flop?
I think he is in over his head and he knows it. Obama hasn’t a clue.
“Obama hasnt a clue.”
Unfortunately, same applies for a tad more than half the voting population of this country (with the help of Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck).
Who thinks the only thing true about Obama is he is in way way over his head.
::::::::::
He is way in over his head....but like all DemoRAT thugs and liars, he is adangerous, radical, anti-American socialist who was mentored by a host of America-haters including criminals and terrorists. To say nothing of the “invisible” support of Islam....how stupid could ANY REAL American be to put this combination in our White House? This situation makes the Clintons look like conservatives....
I like your ‘cop’ analogy. Sounds right. Republicans might win a $100 tax cut for those earning 80K and under, in return for supporting the welfare checks and massive FDR public works deficit programs. Problem is, republicans have no winning message. They should be scaring the public over the deficit, but they are scared to get called on their own past behavior.
When I hear and read Obama’s words I always think about clueless people who think this sounds good. Last night Pelosi was bragging about bill will be passed because 80% of public is for it. She was asked what is in the bill and claimed she didnt know. She the Speaker didnt know, but Public likes it. Idiots!
I tend to think your observation that he is “in over his head” may be true. What in the heck is going to happen as this sad fact becomes increasingly obvious. This clown had better appear in public and on video much less frequently. The greater the public exposure the faster the realization that this poor soul simply does not have what it takes. The recent PR photograph(seeDrudge) makes him look even more out of place.
Ah yes, before you can have refined stimulus plan, you must make stimulus plan beer, which calls for stimulus plan hops, barley, yeast, and taxes to be filtered and stored in pork barrels.
Once you have stimulus plan beer, then the refining starts. Next on the menu, stimulus plan mash, which has generous helpings of rhetoric and more taxes added to it.
To help the refining process, sometimes you need to refine a ‘fortified’ stimulus plan. This requires printing ginormous amounts of paper money to add to the brew.
Finally through the heat and pressure of congressional debate, you get a refined stimulus plan!
Yes it does, the last election proved it’s very easy to make idiot voters out of ignorant people. But even ignorant people understand being laid off, galloping inflation and sky high interest ala Jimmy Carter.
“being laid off, galloping inflation and sky high interest ala Jimmy Carter”
The same folks who are in denial about Obama think Jimmy Carter hung the moon.
And unfortunately, layoffs, high interest, and inflation will be blamed on Bush.
