President Barack Obama says the time for talk on an economic recovery package is over and "the time for action is now."

He cited the latest bad economic news of jobless claims as another reason for quick action. He said: "The time for talk is over, the time for action is now." Meanwhile,as reported by Huffington Post, The White House is deploying a major weapon in the form of Michelle Obama to drum up support for the stimulus bill. The First Lady has embarked on a federal agency listening tour that includes pushing the case for the massive package. The Politico has more and The Washington Post has a report on Michelle's visit to the Department of Housing and Urban Development Wednesday. What do you think, is the time for talk over?
