Barack Obama's Stimulus Plan: Failing by Its Own Measure - TIME
Well lookie here...a Harvard professor says Obama stimulus failed. My my.
Harvard economist says stimulus was designed to reward Democrat constituencies « Wintery Knight
There was never a promise by Obama or anyone else in the administration that the stimulus would produce 8% UE. This has been debunked many a time.
Indeed: It has been the promise of Obama that no matter how high UE ever got, he would take credit for it not being higher.
What a Guy!!!
Yup. He's taken credit for every new job created, but except for the government jobs he didn't have much to do with most of them. And if he didn't create jobs, he falls back on the millions and millions of jobs he saved!!! If you got a job during all that, you need to write him a thank you note. If you didn't lose your job during all that, you also need to write him a thank you note.
And he absolutely sold the stimulus package on the promise that it would keep unemployment from going higher. And when it didn't, he blamed Bush.
Oh well. All this too shall pass.
I'm pretty sure that a President Cain won't be blaming Bush or Obama but will be focused on what we have to do to get out of the current mess and move forward. Whether he is up to the job, I don't know, but I'm pretty sure he could not possibly do any worse.
