As much as OP wishes for the economy to be Obama's Vietnam, it won't be.
I also find it highly ironic how Republican governors, house members, and senators are trying to ignore how much the Stimulus is helping their state. Bashing it and Obama saying how much of a failure it is while trying to take credit for it at the same time. Doublethink at it's finest.
Exhibit A:
Think Progress » Jindal takes credit for stimulus, presents constituents with jumbo-sized stimulus check.
Exhibit B:
Think Progress » Blow From Barbour’s Education Cuts Lessened Because Of Federal Stimulus Package
Exhibit C:
Think Progress » Cantor Suggests Canceling The Rest Of The Stimulus
Exhibit D:
Think Progress » After Opposing The Stimulus, Rep. Cao Now Working To ‘Channel’ Recovery Act Funds To New Orleans
Exhibit E:
Think Progress » Kyl Wants To Cut Off Stimulus Funding That Arizona Governor Is Already Spending
Exhibit F:
Think Progress » Gingrich And Boehner Argue Stimulus Is A ‘Failure’ That Hasn’t Created ‘A Single Job’
Exhibit G:
Think Progress » Pawlenty Smears Stimulus While His Top Economic Adviser Tours Minnesota Touting Its Success
Exhibit H, I, and J:
The Associated Press: STIMULUS WATCH: GOP opposes plan then seeks money
Exhibit K:
.: United States Senator James Inhofe :: Press Room :.
Exhibit L:
Representative C.W. Bill Young
And the beat goes on..and on..and on..and on.
It's really helping to create jobs...that's way many states have double digit unemployment. I thought the stimulus was going to be a job creator. Throwing money at the states to give the false impression that their budgets are balanced is political math. In reality, the stimulus is a giant failure or a really expensive vote buying program.
