...really does matter how the money is spent. But actually, we had that debate in November, and Obama won. This crisis is an ideal opportunity for him to start keeping his campaign promises: providing tax relief and health security to ordinary Americans, restoring our economic competitiveness and reducing our dependence on environmentally disastrous fossil fuels, which increases the power of our enemies. It's hard to imagine when he'll have a better opportunity. Nothing in the historical record suggests that when Congress has more time to deliberate--and more time to confer with special-interest lobbyists and local-interest...
...message of love,” Mazibuko says. “It’s a message of peace.

...Cuomo, Congress, and the public are angry that these bonuses were paid. It made no sense that the most highly paid people on Wall Street continued to make extraordinary amounts of money with the bonus payments, when their companies had to bailed out by taxpayers. In an ideal world, they would not have been given those bonuses. But, Paulson was not willing to push that point. He did not have the time to make the effort...
