pretty typical Obama strategy, tell a lie with enough conviction to convince the bulk of the idiots that support him
We only ‘eat our words’ because in the O-conomy, we can’t afford food.
I think so many people have missed that very important point. The stimulus was passed, and got baked into the baseline budget. In effect, the stimulus has continued, year after year, resulting in deficits of over a $trillion for most of his presidency Obamas “stimulus” was closer to $5 trillion dollars and continues to this day, because it never expired. The economy grew at 1 to 2% with the stimulus. I bet it would have done close to that (if not better) without it, and we would not have had the massive run up in the nation debt. As recoveries go, it has been one of the worst on record.
He has Obamacare and the 2.5 million jobs it cost too.
bump
PIMP POTUS.
DAY-UM!!!!
He even LIES to himself!
I was thinking about which president’s portraits I might hang on a wall.
Not Obama
Not Clinton
Not Carter
Not Johnson
Not Kennedy
Not FDRoosevelt
Not Wilson
Not Grant
Not Lincoln
I remember my grandfather going on about Wilson’s war, and his income tax, and I remember my grandmother’s sisters bemoaning what Lincoln and Grant did to their South. That’s as early as my family lore takes me.
His stimulus plan succeeded???
This whacko is full of sh*t.
Comrades! Rejoice! Brother Obama has raised our weekly chocolate rations from 14 grams to 10 grams!
This alternative - universe insanity would be hilarious if we all didn’t have to suffer through the Great Obsma Depression for another three years
Honestly doc, he talks like he’s in junior high.
It’s embarrassing.
The stimulus was a successful money laundering scheme. 90% went to unions and 10% to “token” infrastructure. The money from the Union dues was then given to support the Democerat Party...paying for their advertising and support. It was a joke, that’s why we didn’t see anything.
