My Comment: This speech is too much. I had too laugh. A room full of Mayors listening to President Obama's threats that they must be responsible with the tax money that they are going to receive. The thieves, crooks, and incompetents who got us into this mess .... are the same thieves, crooks, and incompetents who are going to receive this money.

Shesshhh .... what a system.
