Yes! He wants economic disaster so he can rebuild a communist (not socialist) economy from the ground up. People homeless, food riots, declare martial law, confiscate private property and control of the media. Voila - mission accomplished.
Jim
If only 1% of it has been spent lets stop it! Contact your congress person and demand it be stopped! This is an OUTRAGE! Contact all your senators as well! Lets stop this bs,bo!

Turtles are happy, what more do you want?

We know it's working the way you want..... socialist, no freedoms, no national security, no wealth, no hard working,spread the wealth.
I will not depend on you and your socialist government O-BOY .... You'll have to rip it from my dying hands to think I will fall into the way you are changing this country.. You are nothing but a thug in a suit.
T-Mark
Every dollar that is spent in stimulus is a dollar that was taken from somebody else. The government can only create temporary work and it creates no wealth. Small business owners and entrepreneurs create jobs and wealth and it is exactly these people that the government is attacking through taxes. It's a recipe for economic disaster.

maybe the sheeple will buy beach front property in arizona.
IMHO
Why was this called a Stimulus if it was never intended to stimulate? Any of the "shovel ready" jobs it MIGHT create would be temporary anyway. Where is all this money being spent? Anyone seen any stimulus jobs?
CzarsRUs
No. and if you live in a Red State, you won't either.
IMHO
I did live in a red state - Texas. But we are filled to the brim with folks from every failed blue state. It is hard to find a job as well. Only bright side is the illegals seem to be losing ground on the landscaping business!
CzarsRUs
It probably has for the people he intended it to work for.

Blud dogs are the only hope of derailing the Health Care and Cap and Trade bills. We need to buy time until 2010. Speak out, go to Tea Parties, spread the word. Loud voices will be heard. Go after the dogs, we need them to bite Barry in the bum.

guntotengranny
you bet it has. just another step to total distruction of our constitution, and our freedom.
louapnormal
Stimulus is working well here in Ohio. As of last week the unemployment was 10.3 percent. in Ohio. 1.3 percent above the national average. Hows that hope and change working for you. elections do have consequences.
CRACK IS WHACK
14 percent in calif forecast is for a depression.
PATRIOT UPRISING
The Midwest needs to step up in 2010. Vote them all out, everyone that voted for all this spending, regardless of the party they belong to. That's a message that will be heard by those remaining and up for election in 2012.
Ginny
IMHO - agreed COMPLETELY!
IMHO
Please don't vote in any more lawyers or Ivy League grads. We have gone down hill since that trend took over at the start of the 20th century. I have had enough of the intellectual elite and lawyers trained to usurp the Constitution.
MadinMaine
It is working just fine for him and his cronies. He has paid back for this election and is paving the way for 2010.
LA_USMC
URanas says that he is from Maine and the stimulus is working just fine up there.
PATRIOT UPRISING
Really. They spent their dime and fixed a pothole in the road. Great. I feel so much better now. Check out Ca, Ohio, Az, Fl, Ga. Need any more?
diamonddon
yeah, its work alright. If you like an economy that has diminished and hope of growth has also diminished under his leadership. This change for America has been a change for teh worse anyone could have ever expected.
American citizens, time to take our country back. We do not have to take this lying down. Don't sit back and wait for others to jump in, jump in for yourself. Let's all take it back from our Government and set us back on course to prosperity. Get the Government out of the private sector. Get rid of the socialist czars. These people have way too much control of your life and it will get nothing but stronger if we don't stop it now. Revolt!!!!!!!

Sure, it's working (for him). He's running this country right into the ground. How much longer is America going to let this continue? I don't believe our politicians have any backbone. Do we?

He is telling the truth America....his goal is to destroy this country!!! WAKE UP!

Four greatest Presidential l.i.e.s in the last 40 years: I am not a c.r.o.o.k; I did not have s.e.x with that woman; they have W.M.D; Stimulus “Has Worked As Intended”
magpie
I'll agree with 3 ... but, "they have W.M.D." could have been true ... the FBI said that during the interrogation of Sadam he said he let the world think he had WMD; many foreign intell organizations said Sadam had them; so, what was to be believed? in a time of terror, one goes with the best intell available at the time
Bldeagle
Magpie - I hear you. I supported President Bush when he went after Sadam for other reasons – removing a safe haven for te.r.r.o.r.i.s.t in a v.o.l.a.t.i.l.e part of the world, de.s.t.a.b.i.l.i.z.i.n.g factor in the Middle East, didn't mind using p.o.i.s.o.n g.a.s on his and Iranians so who would be next, trying to get nucs. But the bottom line is Sadam didn't have W.M.D. Whether that was a l.i.e or not is debatable. Having been in the military for 26 years I’ve seen administration after administration selectively use intel for their own purposes. Nof’ said.

Reading in between the lines here I would ECHO those wishes considering the well being of all Americans who have designs on living out their full lives to retirement...Under the Leadership in the White House today I am coming to agree with some who feel their only bright outlook is they are at an age where they won't see the end to our Country as WE all know it to be as of TODAY....
I can't believe I am expressing myself in such a negative manner considering how much I love my country and the ones who have given so much of themselves....
God help us all and to especially to those who believed that Change was their defining motive to vote in 2008....
Only now are WE all beginning to see What WE have gotten for that vote or no vote!!!!!

This should hint that his 'intentions' haven't been very honorable.

I can only see another "New Deal / (RAW DEAL COMING) I believe this bunch is not kicked out of office we will be the U.S.S.A.

It may very well be working the way it was intended. As soon as we're able to read the entire bill we'll know...
KJ
For the first time in 35 years, older Americans will receive NO cost-of-living increases(COLA) in their Social Security Checks in 2010. Additionaly, millions of Americans will alos face much higher premiums for Medicare Part B.
I'm a Senior and I sure as heck don't feel stimulated....and I sure don't need a SECOND stick it to the Seniors Stimulous.
CzarsRUs
15.7 million unemployment rate. Dear God....I hope that wasn't what he intended.
IMHO
No. He is shooting for 20 or 25%. His goal is total destruction. He can not allow us to ever be powerful or wealthy again. He has studied his whole life for this and he will collect kneecaps along the way.
magpie
well, it was what he intended ... then people will run to the government to solve all problems (see 1920/30's Germany) ... its his way of controlling our lives ... & the dummies in the country will follow him blindly ... God save us from this man
Hoka
? 'stimulus has worked as intended'..?
..then obviously he lied to us about what his intentions were..
IMHO
Ya think? When has he ever told the truth? He told the south side of Chicago he would improve their lives. He left it in worse shape than he found it, but he made lots of money stiffing the folks.
be
Why are none of the usual foul dems on this thread? Do they think if they bury this story and ignore it, that will make it not true? When will they hit the point of saying they made a mistake? What will it take? I'm from a blue state and independent and I know which way we all are already leaning?
Spudder
Talk is cheap, why not write down with proof that the stimulus is working, if you saved jobs list them, if you created jobs list them, you have 30 czars and their stall preparing them shpuld not be to hard, Uncle Joe can't do it but it should be done in order to make your statement legit.

Maybe it's working in his own little world.

"Done its job". I think he is right, he is not lying. Unemployment is higher and continues to rise, the economy continues to weaken and taxes will be going up for everyone. This is what they want, they want the people as weakened as possible. The so called stimulus is working just as it was designed to
d
You got that right. 2010 caNNOT come soon enough. By then it may be too late and take another 100 years to get OUR COUNTRY back on track...............back towards Democracy. WAKE UP PEOPLE
