As an old-time consumer reporter, I can tell you when a salesman says you have to do the deal right now, chances are hes a rip-off artist, and a good general rule is to walk away or better yet, run away.
The old now-or-never routine is generally regarded as a red flag flying. When a president tells Congress and the nation you have to do a trillion-dollar deal immediately or catastrophe is in the wings, you should be skeptical. When he says well get into a recession well never get out of, you know hes just blowing smoky hot air, and has found a way to repeal the age-old business cycle. And after more study of the proposal, you may conclude as I did that President Barack Obama is pulling off one of the great rip-offs of history. Jamming a trillion-dollar deal down the throat of Congress and the American people without proper hearings, study, and consideration. I suspected from the beginning he was a fraud, and now I can add rip-off artist and con man to that message.

Obama's religion is Isflam.
Flim flam is what Isflamists do.
Obama is a Grand Wallah of Isflam.
Make him an offer. Immediately release his vault birth certificate to the public and he gets the stimulus package.
hmmmm...now that he mentions it
Lately Obama DOES sound a lot like a timeshare salesman

Democrats. Sometimes the sheet just fits.
He is just a black Elmer Gantry pulling a con job.
An empty head in a stuffed shirt, with no history of accomplishment prior to his flawed election, based on fraudulently representing himself as a Natural Born US Citizen.
Sorry...he’s not my president.
My father, now passed on to be with the Lord, always taught me, “If you don’t need it, don’t buy it.”
Oftentimes, when I go to the store to get some necessities, I see things that I “want” and my dad’s words run through my mind — “Do you need it?!”
I have to say, “No, I just ‘want’ it.” Then I can make a decision based on logic and real need.
If I, as an ordinary consumer, can do this is my life — and MUST do this in my life so that I can pay my REAL living expenses, why should the federal government do any less — after all it’s our money they’re playing with at this time.
Since it worked so well for Paulson and Bush ("Last week, we were five hundred trades away from the collapse of the global economy") Obama has no reason not to expect it won't work again.
The scariest words in selling “do it now”. Do it before you know you are being ripped off.
Wonder what clued the author in.
