Ahead of Senate Vote, Obama Warns of "Catastrophe" Without Economic Stimulus
As the Senate prepares to vote on the $800 billion stimulus and recovery package, President Obama urged Congress to pass the bill Monday, first at a town hall meeting in Elkhart, Indiana and later at the first news conference of his presidency. He warned that not acting immediately to rescue the economy could lead to a catastrophe and emphasized that only the government could bail out the economy at this moment.
