Quotes of Today: 'There's nothing that we would have done differently'
July 08, 2009 10:53 AM
"There's nothing that we would have done differently." -- President Barack Obama to ABC News, defending the stimulus package put together several months ago
"Give us a jobs report, a sliding Dow, a vice-presidential admission, and a presidential certainty that everything was handled right, and we’ve got a fresh dose of the issue that’s always been here -- and that’s closer than ever to belonging to the Democrats alone." -- Rick Klein, ABC News
“The jobs report last week opened a long gash beneath the waterline of President Obama's legislative agenda. Few realize it, but a scramble for lifeboats is about to begin. By the time the health-care debate begins in earnest, these [fiscal] challenges at the federal level will be unavoidable...Or maybe the captain could wake the passengers, end their dreams and announce the obvious: Because the economy has not improved, ambitious health reform must wait.” -- Michael Gerson, Washington Post
"It is going crazy here. It's like a small stadium cheering for their team on rooftops...it is very very loud, and there is a lot of emotion. 'Death to the dictator, ahmadi is a liar, the government of coup d'état...should resign.'" -- protestor in the Iranian capital Tehran, e-mailing on the new phenomenon of residents taking their campaign to the city's rooftops

"There's nothing that we would have done differently." -- President Barack Obama
What?!?!
Of course he could have done it differently.
The Repugs wanted to have less spending, more stimulus and more money out the door sooner rather than later.
NoBo could have compromised and got a better more effective bipartisan stimulus bill.
