How about you set us straight and tell us how Obama has done all these wonderful things to move the economy forward rather than blame everyone else for his failure. All the liberals like you can say is the wasteful stimulus should have been even larger.

Since I do a lot of work with large not for profit organizations, I see first hand the wasteful grants out of the stimulus. Like "woman in highway" ... restricted to minority women that are single moms.   My God, is this good for the economy, is that the way to stimulate it.   Then there is the Green Jobs, also restricted to only minorities with a past criminal record ... yes that is correct. The training was done ... but sadly no jobs were available, but they got paid $10 an hour under the grant while being trained and they had to be reported as "employed".

There are many more and think about how many across the country. I have no problem with carved out grants to help certain sectors ... but this was a stimulus bill to get the country moving again, not for pet Obama projects.   No wonder it failed.   And when the not for profit would push back on a grant, they were pressured to spend the money. My guess was so they could report activity ... not that they cared about the result.

For the first year and a half ... Obama worked on pushing the disasterous health care bill down the throats of the american people rather than focus on the economy and jobs.

The only accomplishment i see for Obama on the ecomomy is that he accomplished to put us deeper in debt, never pass a budget (first president ever for that accoimplishment), add so much regulation that businesses starting cutting rather than adding jobs ... and then whine how the problem is people are not paying enough in taxes and businesses are greedy.

Obama does not understand capitalism ... or he does and just does not like it and is focused on changing it.

So now it is your turn ... tell us about all his great economic accomplishments and why he should be reelected. I would vote for ANYONE other than Obama ... it can not be worse than the disaster he has put us in. The finacial crisis was a shared responsibility ... personally i would say the liberals bills put us on the track to where it lead, but the GOP could have taken a harder stance than they did to stop it ... but it was no way all the GOP or all the Dems.

Yet Obama plays this class warfare that accomplished nothing, and looks to blame others rather than take responsibility that his policies have not worked ... then work together with the GOP house that the people elected to move things forward. Obama's idea of working together is just to agree to more of his failed programs and higher taxes ... then blame the GOP for not passing more of his FAILED agenda.

If you do not feel it has failed ... then what is your excuse ... we both put forth perdictions after he passed the stimulus bill .... how did yours work out ... myself and others pretty much nailed it.   But as i said even back that ... for the good of the country I would LOVE to be wrong.   sadly i was not ... you were.
