You can tell what White House polling has told them by the subjects ticked off in Obama's [weekly radio] remarks: We inherited this mess, the economic stimulus bill so urgently pushed in February wasn't really designed to fix the economy, and the switching of terms about jobs. It used to be about creating and/or preserving jobs. Now, preserving jobs comes first, which, like murders not committed, is difficult to prove or disprove without numbers. Which is the point.
Be patient, Obama urges, more spending will kick in this summer. I promise healthcare reforms won't add to the deficit. We're cutting waste. We need clean energy. Etc.
The Republican remarks, provided this week by Rep. Eric Cantor of Virginia, are in many ways the mirror image.
They see their own poll numbers. It's been six months; the economy belongs to Obama now. Where are the promised jobs? Unemployment at 9.5% is already higher than the 8.5% the administration promised as max. The stimulus bill was larded with pork. We can't afford all this spending and borrowing. The federal government this yeare alone has borrowed $10G's for economic stimulus from every American family. Do you feel better knowing that?

Failure!
Blaming Bush won’t hold much credibility when the stimulus continues to fail and if cap an trade kicks in unemployment goes well into double digits.
Obama has more faith in words than a saint has in Christ.
“Clearing”? Gimme a break. More like “Creating”.
LA TIMES...told their bloggers they could not talk about Edwards’ girlfriend during the campaign...why would I care about anything they say...???
Nothing but liars and shills.
It’s called RAPE! Rape the American economy... Follow the well tried and true National Socialist tactic, wreak havoc and then blame the target you want to attack!
Dems CAUSED the financial meltdown, then they blame Bush and Republicans even though there is VIDEO showing the Republicans tried to push for reforms that Dems blocked.
National Socialists BURNED the Reichstag, then they blamed Jews...
Dems create a special “report” calling conservatives “terrorists” and you’re telling me they are NOT following the Nazi Playbook to the letter? Wake up folks! There’s LOTS more to come.
Looks like the Dems now are gonna have the “rich” pay for universal health now too. At least Baraq was true to his promise to Joe the Plumber. Even though it won’t work.
What is an Obama promise worth?
What waste has been cut? Michelle's three trips to Europe in 6 months?
Drill here NOW!
As par, liberal media will go to any depths to defend their beloved ‘anointed one’......be assured, they will be doing so come 2012.
Jimmy Carter.
Won’t be long until the misery index is dusted off ...
What has HUSSEIN done since he stole the election ?
It seems to me HUSSEIN job is earning air-miles. Has he stayed in America longer than a month since in office ?
Traveling around the globe, LECTURING, is not helping the jobless in the USA.
LOL! Hurricane Barack IS the wreckage.
Obama didn’t inherit this mess from Bush. He inherited it from Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid. They have been in charge since January 2007.
Obama IS the wrecking ball.
The chickens are coming home to roost!!
We have not seen the “TrainWreck” yet. It will come 6-9 months from now when the unemployment benefits begin to run out where the job loss was the worst. The NE, East, S. CA and Great Lakes.
That is where you will see the riots in the street.
There can be no recovery until Obozo is out of office.
A head wind for him on additional government borrowing is the fact that a large percentage of people are assiduously paying off accumulated debt under some increased pressure to do so. As they compare their own situations to the government’s, why would it be a good thing for government to borrow more ?

You are exactly correct. That’s why the bluedogs are getting so nervous and pushing back on the 0zer0 agenda. They see what a disaster he is becoming and fear for their political lives.
Because of that I predict 0zer0’s Socialized Health Care and Environmentalist Religion Fanaticism Cap & Tax will both either be defeated outright, or greatly watered down. This will happen so the Dumbcrats can try to hold onto their majorities in Congress. If I am wrong and the 0zer0 gets the Dumbcrats to railroad his plans through as they are now, your scenario will definately happen.
Ergo - The economy has been responding to him, and him alone, for more than a year.
Economy = pwnedbama
