The White House warned Sunday that the country could face a long and painful financial recovery, even with major government intervention to stimulate the economy and save financial institutions.
Were off and running, but its going to get worse before it gets better, said Vice President Joe Biden, taking the lead on a theme echoed by other Democratic officials on the Sunday talk shows.
At the end of the Obama administrations first week, the party in power at both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue sought to lower expectations for a quick fix despite legislation expected to pass by next month that would pump billions of dollars into the economy. Democrats also opened the door for even more government aid to struggling banks beyond the $700 billion bailout already in the pipeline.

Republicans want the recovery package tilted more toward tax cuts and have questioned whether government spending programs will revive the economy in the short-term.
I just think theres a lot of slow-moving government spending in this program that wont work, House Republican leader John Boehner of Ohio said. We cant borrow and spend our way back to prosperity.

Man, I WISH we were bitchin’ about McCain/Palin right about now...Elections MATTER, People. Win them, and then YOU can write History...or destroy America, as it were. *SHRUG*
This woman is going to be so disappointed...she'll probably use the 'N' word on Obama eventually.
Here ya go, Present Obamalamadingdong. Just print a bunch of these and everything will be just hunky-dorey(sp?).
Ask what you can do for Obama.

Total bs.
the dems know this is a disaster, just like fdr. They don’t care as long as they make people poor and dependent on governmental largess.
Slight correction...
long and painful financial recovery BECAUSE OF major government intervention
“The White House warned Sunday that the country could face a long and painful financial recovery, even with major government intervention to stimulate the economy and save financial institutions. “
