however, nice to see their on his side for a change....

I thought he was on his game with this speech. He carefully and effectively rebutted their arguments. He was fine...

I would suggest that he take on a more Truman-esque tone from now on. You know, the "do nothing" congress stuff. People need to know that it's the House that is holding hostage all the stuff he wants to do on stimulus. Attack them! All the better to get a better House of Reps. that we have now! Let's get rid of them!
