I can't figure out what they think the ultimatum is:
That's the extent of the quote in the post. So what are they threatening? Do it or we'll do it and we might fail? What kind of threat is that?
ABC News' Z. Byron Wolf Reports: Democrats sent a clear message to the White House tonight - make some of the $700 financial industry bailout money available to the domestic auto industry or else. And they want an answer by Friday.[...]
"Your decision to utilize the TARP funds, or to work with the Federal Reserve to make available assistance through its existing lending programs, or both, are essential to the Congress' ability to address this critical economic situation in a timely manner, and would also eliminate the uncertainties inherent in the legislative process, " say Senate Makority Leader Harry Reid, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Democratic committee chairmen in the letter.
They go on: "We are very hopeful that we can work cooperatively with the Administration and the Federal Reserve to provide urgent assistance and support our domestic auto industry, just as other nations are doing, during this extraordinarily difficult global economic collapse. We look forward to hearing from you on an expedited basis, since we will be notifying colleagues tomorrow of next week's session

Michelle, you do this sort of thing all the time. First you impute a threat that isn't there. Then you demean the Democrats for not making it clearly. There are plenty of things to criticize Democrats about (Barney Frank really could hit the gym more often, and Nancy Pelosi's eyes are pretty creepy, you'd think she'd do something about that knowing she'd be on national TV so much, didn't Dingle used to wear a toupee) without creating straw-Democrats.
This is would be better defined as a "pathetic whine" rather than an ultimatum.
