Seriously? Obama Touts Stimulus 'Successes'
Patriot Room ^ | 7-11-09 | Scott Martin

Now all he can tell us is that "unemployment tends to recover more slowly than other measures of economic activity." Yes, in mismanaged economies. Yes, when the engines of industry are being conducted by the likes of FDR, Jimmy Carter and now Barack Obama.

The problem is not the economy Obama inherited. The problem is the President's socialist plans which have combined to make a bad situation worse. Obama wants more time. There is nothing we can do to prevent him from doing what he will for the next 18 months. But we can't afford to give him any more after that. It is past time for Republican leadership to get a plan together to take back the House in 2010 and stop this train dead in its tracks before it runs us over...

Of course its successful. Look how he is doing. Traveling the world in style, taking his mother-in-law. He has his own TV show on several networks. The guy is living the life.

He’s insensitive to the suffering of the American people. Also, delusional.

News from that Obama stimulus success story Caterpillar, INC

Three months ago, Peoria, Ill.-based Caterpillar Inc. (NYSE:CAT) announced 20,000 job cuts among other restructuring measures. Just six months before that it was riding profits from sales of equipment as commodity prices soared and mining companies, among others, were demanding more products.

Now, the world's No. 1 construction equipment maker has posted its first quarterly loss in 17 years. As it lost $112 million for the quarter, Cat significantly cut its full-year earning and sales forecasts and said there could be more layoffs to come. Around the time Cat announced that initial round of job cuts, President Obama was announcing his stimulus plan, part of which addressed infrastructure. But Caterpillar doesn't think it's working.

Caterpillar Inc. (NYSE:CAT) is reportedly in talks with Indian manufacturer Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. to create a joint venture. According to The Economic Times of India, the venture would make engines for Cat-branded tractors and would be 51% owned by M&M, a maker of automobiles and farm equipment.

you forgot the guy who was dressed like he was fresh form the ghetto with them

Maybe a reporter could ask the question

This was touted as an official trip so could you explain to the tax payer who you have said that purses need to be tightened as to why this guy and the mother in law was on this trip?

Maybe you could add the kids and wife too in that question.

Because right now my family and I have gone no where this summer due to us looking at our money and yet I am now paying for these freeloaders to go on vacation.

“I realize that when we passed this Recovery Act, there were those who felt that doing nothing was somehow an answer. Today, some of those same critics are already judging the effort a failure although they have yet to offer a plausible alternative.”

What a blatant lie. The Republicans offered an alternative plan. Obama and the Rats chose to ignore it. Besides, nothing would have been better than the action that Obama and the Democrats took (handing out money to political allies).

Beck said
if you were an enemy of this country you could not have devised a better plan to destroy this country to what obama is doing.

Now I read that over a 100,000 Palestinians will be relocated over in SO CAL

Maybe he could bring over a million Africans too , but of course only black Africans can’t have those white Africans in South Africa and under Mugabe escape their tyranny even if they work hard

Kansas
but he won and he told the GOP that.

Makes me sick, free vacations, freeloading family going on them, debt and more debt, spending, bringing more folks from Gaza over here and the state run media swoon and try to tell us that his wife is stylish to top it off

I truly thought the day that Jimmy Carter was thrown out of office, we’d never be so stupid again. Oh God, how naive I was! This electoral insanity should not happen twice in one person’s lifetime. Can we really have this many cretins who vote in our nation?

yes, schools are brainwashing our kids,
the media never did their job
illegals voting
layabouts voting
idiots voting
blacks coming out the woodwork based on color, so much for MLK vision of a nation of being color blind

Believe this or not but a troll from KOS, HUFF POST has been sending me private messages and he said that he believes that spending is not a problem and that spending will get us out of this

This is the kind of brainless idiots we are dealing with

A neighbor came round some weeks ago and I said have you seen this video(bozo bowing to the king)
she turned to me and said why do they not do this
