Has he ever presented a cogent explanation why we should expect anything other than more trouble from the rollout of the first porkulus?

Trial balloon fail. He’ll be able to drag the majority into a second term with this “give it time” crap. Yes, our fellow countrymen really are dupes.

But...But....

The first one didn't work...But, where'd the money go....They say it's not out yet....So where is it???

My take is that they simply created a slush fund...No jobs intended...

0bama is definitely feeling the winds of Change.

He mentions reversing job losses.

Did he mention how many jobs he has saved, or has he given up on that canard?

Things are beginning to self-destruct faster than Obozo can explain them away. He is losing his core support among moderates and independents daily. It is getting to the point that there are too many holes in the dike where things going bad are due to his incompetence and arrogance which will finish him.

Obama most certainly got "his" second stimulus.

The rest of us are the ones that got screwed.

I added to your post by subtracting from it.

Just some walkin' round money for their DemocRAT and RINO friends. That's how you stimulate the economy, right? Sigh...

Patience is a virtue in short supply when you’ve lost your income and are fast on the way to losing your home. I can’t wait for the honeymoon to end. Where’s the popcorn?

If we get a quarter of 0.000001 growth the MSM will immediately declare the economy is booming once again.

The plan "was not designed to work in four months," Obama said. "It was designed to work over two years."

It was also supposed to keep unemployment under 8% according to Mr. Obama.

The DemocRAT leaders are looking at his poll numbers (the real ones, not the BS we get from the Drive-Bys), and telling The Anointed One that he ain't so hot after all.

"He’ll be able to drag the majority into a second term with this “give it time” crap. Yes, our fellow countrymen really are dupes."

Reminds me of a Dem woman..."yea he abuses me and makes me work while he looks and sounds pretty, but give him time. He'll come around. He says he has my best interest at heart."
What enabling idiots.

Oh, come on, come on, come on, come on!

Didn’t I make you feel like you were the only one - yeah!

Didn’t I give you nearly everything that a I possibly can? Commie, you know I did!
And each time I tell myself that I, well I think I’ve had enough,
But I’m gonna show you, baby, that a citizen can be tough.

I want you to come on, come on, come on, come on and take it,
Take it!
Take another little piece of my freedom, baby!
Oh, oh, break it!
Break another little bit of my heart now, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, oh, have a!
Have another little piece of my life now, baby,
You know you got it if it makes you feel good,
Oh, yes indeed.

You’re out on the socialist street looking good,
And baby deep down in your heart I guess you know that it
ain’t right,
Never, never, never, never, never, never hear me when I cry,
Babe, I cry all the time!
And each time I tell myself that I, well I can’t stand the
pain,
But when you spin it in the press, I’ll sing it once again.

I’ll say come on, come on, come on, come on and take it!
Take it!
Take another little piece of my freedom now, baby.
Oh, oh, break it!
Break another little bit of my life, yeah,
Oh, oh, have a! Have another little
piece of my heart now, baby,
You know you got it, commie, if it makes you feel good.

It was also designed to give the bulk of ‘aid’ and jobs in the months prior to the 2010 and 2012 election.

Yeah.

He ‘rejected’ it after it became apparent that the Democrats in Congress weren’t going to pass it.
