U.S. President Barack Obama says the massive economic stimulus bill he signed one year ago has prevented another Great Depression and kept millions of Americans working. The president is celebrating the anniversary of the bill's signing.

Borrowing at 3.5% to save government and union jobs. Nice.

I have the exact same problem with a brother of mine....you can’t argue with a liberal. They can’t handle and process facts. THAT I am sure of....and he still also thinks BO is a Christian even though he’s attended 1 service since being sworn in...BUT he’s not a Muslim-no way.... Geez.
Government jobs.
Saw a thread a while back that went through these jobs state by state and it turned out to be total BS. Now they are back at it again. Then a lot of the TARP money went to Congressional districts that do not exist. These people have no shame by telling these whoppers.
2 million non productive public sector do nothing jobs!!
Someone please divide 787 billion by 2 million.
Some people will try to blame somebody else for the $hit in their pants and it sounds like your sister is one of them!
Two million simple servants that should have been fired!!!!!!!
2 million saved - 2 million lost = ZERO
DUH Obama, get her head out yer a$$!!!
It is a common illness, idiots that graduated from the school of far left radical communists and can't help themselves thinking King Obama is a savior. She will change her mind when the roof caves in and that is not far off.
Gee, we only lost seven million jobs to save two million!
