Only 1/3 of the stimulus money has been spent(believe it or not even though it was SO VITAL that we had to pass the stimulus ASAP). What they are doing is holding this money back until the months shortly before the election..they will then start to pour the money into local communities where unemployment is the worst and then they will say “See, we told you it would work, it just takes time..so now that you see our plan is working you must reelect us”. If you know your history, this is a plan that has been used before..
All but a small percentage of voters will decide before August how they will vote. In a NORMAL election cycle, after Labor Day, the battle begins for the undecided independent voters.

The slush fund is for the rehabilitation of Obama. He does not care about the Dims that will lose this year, he will try to carry them back into power in 2012. They can crunch the unemployment numbers any way they want, 15% or more are unemployed or underemployed. You cannot can put a purple SEIU T-shirt on that pig and get people to vote for you.
