The analysis last spring that said the US stock market would fail in October also stated that the US would announce it was bankrupt in February.
Has everyone forgotten this?

I seriously thought this bill being pushed so quick was to make sure nothing would happen, like if California welfare recipients realized they were not getting their hand-outs....
Watch the news, this could get interesting!!
TextAnd Los Angeles County officials said they would cover welfare payments to more than 500,000 local recipients -- for now.

Stimulus: Obama Pushes It Back
The official said the administration had never announced a formal date for the roll-out of the plan to bolster the banking system and credit markets that have been battered by the collapse of the U.S. housing market and a spike in mortgage failures.

Your article is NOT about the stimulus package.
It's talking about the rescue plan for the financial system. It's a different package.

This is indicative (to me) that people who are doing the most complaining don't even know what's going on... As long as you can jump on Obama, it doesn't matter if you have the facts or not...

Yes, I am aware that they are separate issues but they are, over course, directly linked!
Your post just goes to show that Obama supporters (worshipers??) cannot tolerate any criticism without a knee jerk emotional response.
I am not a Republican NeoCon nor am I Democrat. And my problems with Obama have nothing to do with his being half black or having a Muslim heritage.

Yet your OP mentions nothing about that. I'm sorry, I believe you have confused the two packages.

My response was neither "knee-jerk" nor emotional. I read the article you linked and checked the facts and calmly posted those facts in the face of obvious confusion. I also posted my opinion about your "mix-up".
I am not a Republican NeoCon nor am I Democrat. And my problems with Obama have nothing to do with his being half black or having a Muslim heritage.
And I made none of these accusations, whatsoever. I only said that this indicates that people who are doing the most complaining don't really know what's going on... as your confusion of the facts clearly shows. No need to be defensive about a bunch of stuff I didn't even say or suggest.
