Hard to see how Obama could have done much worse, with a record like that. This is the same guy who's trying to sell the line that corporate jets are costing seniors their medical care and students their college education.

Obama is the Democrats' teflon man. Nothing he does sticks and nobody seems to care his policies are damaging the economy more than they're helping. If Bush were president during this time, they'd be crucifying him.

This has been fairly well debunked already. It would be nice if The Weekly Standard would do some research before publishing.

By most metrics, the stimulus was a success.

Oh, smashing. A "growthless recovery." LOL.

Now subtract 3 million jobs and over 3% of GDP and tell me how smashing the recovery looks.

I love those magical figures. Post hoc ergo propter hoc, which de rigeur in politics.

I found the articles you linked as highly doubtful as to their linkage. Even assuming any attribution to the silly stimulus bill, it was a lot of money achieving minimal results.

That's it, she should be forced to resign.

Damn. 9.2% This guy is a disaster.

Bush messed things up beyond my wildest imagination.

"This guy?" As in Obama? You're blaming this on Obama after you just posted a graph showing most job losses occurred under Bush?

You should learn to read the graphs you post. You would note that the red slope starts in 2007, not 2009.

Can't you just admit Obama's policies have been horrible? I can admit Bush's were. They are two peas in a pod but you think Obama's shit don't stink.

I certainly wouldn't go to "horrible." There are quite a few things I think he should have done differently, although oftentimes the reason he didn't is that Republicans wouldn't let anything go through the Senate (and now the House).
