On Cavuto today they discussed this. They said Obama has another problem : returning troops coming home looking for jobs filling the official unemployed number ranks replacing all those that gave up looking, making the unemployment numbers go higher.

Well, he could start another war. Otherwise, govt. numbers umenployment will require more "adjustments." Maybe both.

If Obama got a huge stimulus then the debt limit might need to be extended again before the election.

It would have to be a hell of a Stimulus to pay for jobs for the returning military. The first Stimulus was a promise to keep unemployment low, but I don't think Obama can push a big one through the House this time unless he gains lots of seats in Nov.

Ha-HA, you completely miss the point. Obama doesn't right now give a crap what happens AFTER November wrt to jobs.
A stimulus does him no good then, he needs it before the election.

And Bernanke can't QE3 with rising prices.
