They Just Gave Obama An Idea

From the LA Times: Even in the land of police chases, it was a wild ride.
A pair of bank robbery suspects Wednesday led cops on a bizarre, dangerous pursuit, hurling fistfuls of stolen cash from their car in a failed getaway bid that sent hundreds of people scrambling into the path of oncoming police cars as they lunged after the flying bills.
Although it was almost certainly a self-serving gambit meant to slow their pursuers, the robbery suspects' decision to share the loot in such brazen fashion made them instant heroes to many in the impoverished South L.A. neighborhoods where the chase came to an end.
"It's our neighborhood stimulus package!" laughed Diane Dorsey, who watched the bedlam unfold from her front yard at the corner of Kansas and Vernon avenues.
"Kids were smiling like it was Christmas," added a neighbor, who gave only his first name, Desean.  http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-bank-robbery-20120912,0,6072960.story
Watch President Obama throw down dollar bills from Air Force 1, making it rain, as they say.
