•President Obama journeyed to
foreclosure-ravaged southwestern Florida on
Tuesday for a campaign-style economic "town
hall," pressuring Congress to act quickl=
y to
produce a final bill.
OBAMA SAYS
•"We've had a good debate,=
but
the time for talking is over,"
Obama said. "Folks here in Fort Myers and across
America need help, and the time for action is now.
The Americans I've met understand that even with this
plan, our recovery will likely be measured in years, not
weeks or months -- but what they don't have patience
for is more waiting on folks in Washington to get
this done."
