RE :”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.

I partly agree, in that Nov. is his "last election," as he told the Russians. But he (like many other DC characters) does seem to have a lot of fun spending money. And if he could get a stimulus passed after 2012, he could happily, wastefully spend without having to worry about voter backlash, at least a backlash against himself. If he really believes that another stimulus would work, he might think it would put Pelosi back in charge. So far, since 2010, the House has said hell no to stimuli.
