that's on Bush's watch - He fucked that one up royally! He even alluded to that yesterday in an interview. This money is being asked for by Bush because of the 15 day period that congress has to approve the request. That way it will be ready for Obama to use in implementing his plan.

One article I read hinted that the request didn't come until today due to a miscommunication between Obama & Bush at the transition meetings. Bush brought up the issue again to Obama.
