Obama calls for quick action to deal with economic "perfect storm"

President Barack Obama urged lawmakers to quickly approve a compromise bill in both the House and Senate to avoid further escalation of the economic crisis.

Obama described the economy's situation as the "perfect storm of financial problems."

Yesterday, Wall Street seemed to disapprove of Tim Geithner's plans for spending the remaining $350 billion of financial bailout money. The Dow was down by more than 300 points, but actually it's impossible to say for sure what caused the decline given the amount of bad news that keeps pouring out.
