Bottom line is the unemployment number is 9.4% Eventually as this number creeps up the followers will began to understand, especially if they are one of the unemployed.Obama is claiming he has "saved or created" 150,000 jobs. By year's end he says he will
"save or create" 600,000 jobs. The WSJ is laughing at the White House press corps for just reporting such BS and not asking questions. When the press corps show up for a press conference they all bring candy and their shoe shine kits. When the media turns against Obama that will be his end, and it will happen.
The key phrase is "saved" , how exactly do you quantify "saved" ? I mean I know how the White House plans to do it, they'll just find the most dismal projections then can get their hands on, fudge them to make it a bit worse and then pronounce "See we'd have lost 6.6 million jobs without the stimulus package but instead we only lost 6 million this year" ..... I'm just wondering how any significant portion of the citizenry can keep falling for this type of statist nonsense.
BTW--JUST OUT--President Bush created our saved over 32 MILLION jobs over his 8 years--by giving TAX CUTS. This "after" the recession he inherited, 9/11 & Hurricane Katrina. Obama is talking about saving 150,000 jobs--what a laugh!
With $5 billion in stimulus money going to weatherize homes, The New York Times is asking how much of that is pork.
Since the 1970s, the federal government has provided funding to help low-income residents keep heating bills down by plugging holes and beefing up insulation. The winterizing program makes both economic and ecological sense, considering that heating an average house costs $1,188 per year and, nationwide, heating sends 358 million metric tons of climate-warming carbon dioxide gas into the atmosphere.
Should we spend stimulus money keeping Florida cool?: Scientific American Blog
This is just one project in a number of projects like the wetlands mouse study and we are asking how many jobs this created? Well I sure hope no one is really under the impression this was actually going to create any jobs? It is what it is a massive, spending bill meant to reward all the loyal supporters of the administration deficit and economy be damned. Thats why the whole Change mantra makes me laugh everytime I hear it.
I believe a 59 percent approval rating gives you the obvious answer to the bolded question. I don't believe in/approve of hiim, but it's clear many do.
You're watching his poll numbers DROP. Originally his "popularity" opinion poll based on "likeability" alone was in the high 70's. When pollsters are asked about his "policies" versus his "likeability"--it's a much different story.
In fact right now 51% of Americans do not like his handeling of the budget deficit--& all this government spending. That's a negative for him.
Wait until they get their tax bill to pay for all of this spending. It's coming--NO ONE is going to escape higher taxes.
there certainly is a deficit between what he does and "who he is." If he increases taxes, he will wait until his second term, but not necessarily by percentage, but rather additional taxes. I have heard horror stories like taxing your 401k every year and getting rid of the interest tax write-off on mortgages.

Obama is defintely following the Carter administration. Jimmy promised no higher taxes too. What he did was dramactically lower the amount of mortgage interest that "everyone" could deduct from their mortgages resulting in HUGE tax hike to middle & lower income earners.
The massive spending the government is doing right now--actually borrowing 50 cents on every dollar they spends dictates that Obama is going to do much more to raise taxes that Carter did.
The democrat party will go after everything--with the exception of raising income taxes on lower incomes. This so Obama can come back in 4 years & state he kept his promise. But in reality--there is no doubt in my mind that if these idiots that voted for him--add up all their tax liability--these dummies will eventually realise that they are paying much more in taxes overall--that they ever did previously. The Bush tax cuts are to expire next year--which will be a major slam to the middle class.
It's the old "bait & switch" routine that the Democrat party has done for decades. The only democrat President that gave a massive tax cut was JFK. Ever since then they are the party of big pork, big earmarks, big spending & big taxes.
Does anyone believe this guy anymore?
We had to rush the spending/stimulus bill into signing even though 100% of Congress had not read the whole thing and only 5% has has been spent.... WTF? If it was such an emergency why isn't the money being spent????

oreo, exactly and still proves my point that the only thing the stimulus is stimulating are the people who supported the Obama campaign and this was the payback so to speak. I do like the marketing campaign though, sort of neatly packaged to make it appear like it will create jobs. I wonder how many jobs the stimulus package would have created if they would have just divided that money up and sent it to the taxpayers? Now theres a novel idea huh?, let people decide their own fate and financial future.

Hmm.. Sort of makes you wonder if they're doing their polling at ACORN headquarters.

I don't think so. I think the country is satisfied with HIM. You don't see it that way?
elvis, I personally don't care how appealing he his, if the economy is a disaster after his first term he will have a hard time getting a second term.
elvis, I honestly think that the gap between those that agree with him and those that disagree is getting wider. However, from a domestic point of view it sort of reminds me of Jimmy Carter a little, he had many fervent followers as well, and as time passed fewer and fewer but the most loyal followers could be found. This was due to the trainwreck the economy was in after the end of his first term.

Well Vel you do have to give the man Credit for that and as I recall, I think Jimmy Carter actually added Solar to the White House at some point , but I could be mistaken.
