FLASHBACK: Obama stakes presidency on stimulus

FORT MYERS, Fla. -- President Obama on Tuesday for the first time staked his fledgling presidency on pulling the country from its economic crisis, promising dispirited Floridians that his stimulus plan will produce tangible results such as jobs and tuition credits or he'll be ousted from office in 2012.

"I expect to be judged by results and ... I'm not going to make any excuses," he said. "If stuff hasn't worked and people don't feel like I've led the country in the right direction, then -- you'll have a new president."

But even after he cautioned people that they can vote him out of office, his nearly 2,000 fans at the town hall were already asking for four more years.

I wonder if any of those "fans" would say the same thing today.

Expect every lie you can imagine to push the success of 0’s failed stimulus plan. Every government job is going to be called a success of the stimulus fiasco. 0 is a fraud, and gullible Americans are getting the con they deserve.

Careful now.

The hundreds of Billions are designed to flood the economy and is timed to coincide with the 2010 mid terms elections.

PREDICTION: The resulting (false welfare) uptick in the economy will be praised and Obama hailed as the messiah resulting in even LARGER majorities in Congress for the Totalitarian Socialist/Democrat party.

Unfortunately they're taking the 47% who didn't buy BamBam's bull-sheetrock down with them.

With unemployment alone, the Misery Index is in full force in the state of Misery Michigan. Our governor, Jenny Grantheft, hands out tax goodies for her pals in Hollywood. I think she's hoping for the lead role in the remake of Misery.

What we need is a rabid rabbit type incident that shows this punk for what he really is, like the rabid rabbit story did for Jimmy Carter.
