So, when was Obama at this Town Hall in Albuquerque? I did some searches and listen to quite a bit of news today on the AM. Searched the Chicago Tribune and Suntimes which are both Conservative and Democratic Rags and I see and heard nothing? Even went to my ole reliable Huff Post, nada...
Reporting from Rio Rancho, N.M. -- President Obama today called on Congress to send him a bill by Memorial Day that would curb what he described as abusive credit card practices in which lenders raise interest rates and slap consumers with high fees.

I'm sure their spirits will remain sky high with the closing of two major auto manufacturers.
You know, it's sad to see dealerships close, but people knew it was coming. So I don't think auto closings are going to affect national spirit much (except possibly in places like Detroit).

Yeah, I guess the dealerships closing here in NC and other states won't affect the soon to be unemployed (with no real notice) spirits.
So are we now in the Orwellian world (George Orwell 1984)?
People are thriving more than in over a year.
Congress passed the Stimulus Bill which cost billions - had to do it quick or the US was going to collapse. Hmmm, but so far only 5% of the money has been released.
Both of these can't be true at the same time.
So are people NOT thriving more than a year ago OR was the urgent need for the Stimulus Bill a hoax?
Over 600,000 people have lost jobs in each of the last 3 months.
How many are getting laid off and owners losing their business cuz of Chrysler severing their ties?
Something just doesn't add up.
Have always had faith in Gallup -- but is this simply a propoganda machine to get people buying again?
Times are swell aren't they? If the poll says so, it must be true

No real notice? I guess you mean no notice written on a piece of paper. Anyone working for one of those dealerships had to have known for a long time there was a likely chance it would close. People certainly knew if their jobs were at risk last month. Odds are the same people who were in good spirits last month will still be the same way this month.
