One questioner at President Obama's town hall meeting in Elkhart, Indiana just said that money should go directly to the people who are hurting. The man said people shouldn't have to go to the federal or state government to ask for money, and they shouldn't have to wait in line. "Send that check to our mailbox," he advised Obama.

Send that check to our mailbox so we don't have to wait in line? I think I'm going to be sick. I'm not kidding.

But if he sends it to your mailbox you'll have to wait in line at Wal Mart to cash it. Hows about electronic deposit? Will that work?

I thought these "heartland" folks were hard-working individualists? Bwa-ha-ha-haha!
