Obama must get republicans onboard, not because he needs their votes to pass the bill but because he needs wider public support. There are many folks on the political left who object to the pork as republicans do. There are many creative approaches from krugman to zandi to steve forbes that need to be examined. We need a stim bill that really stimulates. Obama needs to wrist slap pelosi and reid. Time for new leadership in congress and some on the left on this board agree.

Stimulus package down to 37% approval, 43% oppose. Another week and it could be toast. I don't think so. "The poll, conducted from Friday through Sunday, found that 75 percent of Americans want Congress to pass some version of the plan. But the survey reflected deepening doubts about the effectiveness of the programs and spending items currently being considered by federal lawmakers. Only 38 percent of those polled favored the existing stimulus proposal, down from a slight majority holding that view in the Jan. 28 Gallup survey. Thirty-seven percent want major changes and 17 percent reject the plan outright." foxnews.com
