Obama: Stimulus “Has Worked As Intended”...Really?
President Barack Obama said his $787 billion stimulus bill “has worked as intended” as he pushed back against Republican criticism that his recovery program has failed to rescue the economy.

Thank You for Your Submission!

The man is a total fraud, he(AND HIS WIFE) hate the USA - their ONLY intent is to destroy it. He will BANKRUPT us into oblivion!!

Yup if you are mouse in San Francisco.

Yeah, I read that wasteful stimulus spending. Funny what they spend thier money on when we are in a crisis.
Joe38369
yep Asianeyes704. I stand corrected. OUR MONEY!
Asianeyes704
You mean our money, they do not have any money of their own.
nobbie
Sure it's working he's burying us.This administration are like ravenous wolves just going insane in the hen house. 2010 vote, vote ,vote!
Joe38369
No nobbie, you are correct. You can start voting in 2010 to start throwing the balance off in washington. Do your research and find out where the politians stand and vote them in for 2010. I am a firm believer there needs to be a balance in the senate. Too many Democrats in office is a mistake and so is too many Republicans. If there is a healthy balance, then you see a better balance and everything does not go too far left or foo far right.
WeThePeople
We the People are the counter-balance to all this out of control Federal government intrusion into our lives by the Right given us in the Declaration of Independence to "alter or abolish" that form of government when it becomes destructive of our personal liberties. Please read this, and if you're in agreement, let your friends know too. We CAN put a stop to this and we DARE not wait until 2010 to start! There's too much fraud, and we must overcome by our voice being heard outside of the political process too. 4 to 5% unemployment during the Bush years and all we heard from the liberal press was the economy is in the toilet. Now almost 10% and Bo and the press are telling us we've "turned the corner on the economy!" Well, just which corner is it that we've turned? Yeah, the one right before we go collectively over the cliff! Do something about it now. http://avoiceofthepeople.com/blog2.php

yeah, I am not collecting unemployment either. I'm looking for a new job, but they're not to be found.
Joe38369
I had a part time job that I no longer am at and not collecting unemployment and we run a small business and I quit taking a paycheck from it, because it is in the red now. So that is not showing on the unemployement.
bae
Where are all the new jobs
Where are all the new jobs? Oh that is right a new czar for everything, do they pay anyone to bring our jobs back to the USA.
duckkiger
In the sick and twisted mind of some people things are really looking up.
Joe38369
For the first time in 15 plus years, my small business is in the red. The last 3 to 4 months we are spending more on the bills than we are making. We are having to live on credit cards. Not good. I have never in my life had to do this. So to me the economy had gotten worse. It slowed down somewhat last year, but we were still making profit, just not as much the previous years, but we were not in the red and then all of a sudden, work is just not coming in.

Ha ha,, Oh my,, you know, you really have to love this guy. For someone as smart as he is,,, and he is very smart,,, you have to wonder just how stupid does he think we really are???? Is it possible he's really that out of touch??
I believe the 2010 elections are going to be great entertainment as the libs try to explain themselves. It won't have much to offer in the way of substance but man,,,,, the entertainment value will be priceless!!!

Just a quick note to all of you: I try to come to FoxNation as often as I can. Your posts encourage me. During the campaign season, I wondered do people even care anymore about this country and the direction it's heading. The posts I read here on a regular basis are a resounding "Yes, people do care!" That gives me hope. So thanks to all of you. I was just listening to Luke Stricklin's song "American, By God's Amazing Grace" on youtube. I love this country, what it stands for, and its people. God bless. :)

Thanks Ange!! You're a good poster!! God Bless You!
Joe38369
Amen!
Joe38369
Thanks AngeV. God is my hope and no matter what becomes, as long as I have faith, it will be okay. But I will still fight the battle and try to change things.
AngeV.
Hey Joe. Glad you posted. Just wanted to wish you well with your business. May you prosper in spite of this economy. Don't give up.

....and this guy thinks he can be a car salesman for GM.
It depends on what his intentions were...which seem to be getting more clear everyday. Personally, I think he's a switch-hitter and he's holding off to flip the money to tax cuts when all political hopes seem lost....then everyone will get off his back....and he may pull in bipartisan support if he does.....shrewd dude!

Economic illiteracy is blinding and shows that the dems have dumb down the public school system to their satisfaction! To have THIS many people believe in a recovery package that flies in the face of economics is absurd! I JUST had a debate with a ECON majors and whooped their butt (I was getting double teamed). They still cannot believe that I mopped the floor with them. Economics is NOT that hard when you apply Freedom and Define Economy in simple terms. They believed that an Economy is to hard to explain and would take hours yet it took me only one sentence and about 15 Seconds. They BOTH also believed that when people say the phrase "Free Market" that person is referring to "Wall Street"! I advised her to go back to school Monday, head straight to the Deans office and DEMAND a refund since the product they sold her (In this case, information and knowledge) was junk!

I think his plan HAS worked exactly as intended. He's taken trillions of dollars and dumped it on his good-for-nothing, bloodscking supporters, he's been nationalizing the auto, finance and health care industries, he's destroyed bankruptcy laws, he's driven the economy off of a cliff...

Maybe now that Obummer has been in Africa he can really understand how his voodoo economic plan is going to work. No one in America can explain when or where the $787 Billion is help anyone other than a government official. Just ask Timmy no tax payer G. This is a scam MADOFF on the American taxpayer.

No kidding Mr.President,Wheres the jobs,and please prove to us how you have saved so many jobs.You knew from the getgo that this monstrosity
would and could not work.The purpose of this bill was to pay off all
your promises to special interest groups and to help all the liberals
get re-elected in 2010.It has failed and you are running scared,your
numbers are down and by december your charade of games will be over.
Fool me once,shame on me.Fool me twice,shame on you.

He extended un-employment compensation! How nice. Everyone I know feels humiliated at having to collect it. They JUST WANT THEIR JOBS BACK!!!
Quit bailing out states. Let them figure out how to budget the money they get and quit waiting for handouts that in the end will cost us in tax increases that no one can afford.

The Center
Let them eat cake, uhh? Look, the company I worked for for the last five years went out of business and everytime I go for a job interview I have to stand in a long line. I dont enjoy being on unemployment but the alternative is to be homeless. So if some well-off folks have to pay a little more taxes so the not-so-well-off can eat, well sorry if I dont shed any tears for your tax bill at the moment. I hope you never need any gov program to help you and your family, but if you do it'll change your whole perspective.
Joe38369
The Center - Sorry to hear your job loss. I have lost my part time job also. I am not collecting unemployment checks yet. I have a small business that is hurting and in the red. So I pray things will get better. About the unemployment. My sister in law is collecting and says it is easy, she does it right on line. Takes 30 minutes to set it up with questions, then every so often she reports back, signs in and lets them know if she worked or not. Try on line!
