RE :” ..he backed away from his advisers who proposed a big stimulus, and then diluted it with tax cuts (correction liberal, they were tax 'credits' not 'cuts') that had already been shown to be inert. The result, as predicted in advance, was a half-stimulus that half-stimulated the economy........Maybe 5% stimulated, not half. And a bigger percent of union boondoggles would have been even less effective.

Have you noticed that liberal’s narrative is that Obama lost to Republicans on everything big he signed into law? He lost on the stimulus (all those tax cuts), he lost on Obama-care (no public plan, mostly Republican ideas), he lost on tax increases (last December) and he lost on the debt deal by cutting spending. And with the last two it was because Republican terrorists held the middle class/economy hostage. You can bet if the economy was good they wouldnt be claming Obama lost on all this stuff, it all be their wins like with Clinton.

On our side Boehner says he got 95% of what he wanted in the debt limit deal, then the market crashes and then S+P announces a credit downgrade a few days later. Great work RINO Boehner.
