Immediate action required

Why is the Obama administration in such a hurry to pass all their new programs? I would prefer that the government took the time to get a bill right rather than rush it through, as with the AIG bonuses in the bail out. The administration was aware of these bonuses and chose to rush through an inadequate policy rather than address and correct the problem.
Since Mr. Obama took office we have been told that it is imperative that we; act now, move quickly, pass this before it is too late, and that we must take advantage before the window of opportunity closes. We are given only a broad overview of plans with details to be filled in after the legislation is passed, like with the stimulus plan.
Are they trying to push through a specific agenda before most Americans know what is happening? There is a difference between decisive action and reckless behavior.
