The Top Ten Reasons Obamanomics Won't Work

[guido911]

Are you implying that it's someone else's fault?

Well gee, I thought Obama said that if the stimulus bill passed then Caterpillar would rehire laid off workers:

Well, the stimulus bill passed and were these workers rehired? Uh, um, NO. In fact more were laid off:

That's Bush's fault? I thought that electing Obama and passing the stimulus bill would change everyting. I'm mean, this woman did?

So are you implying it's someone else's fault or are you just spewing out the same stats you've spewed on other threads to spew?

You know darned well what my point is. Everything was Bush's fault when he was president. Now, nearing four months in, this country has the highest unemployment rate in 25 years-despite spending trillions of dollars in stimulus and bailouts after Bush left. You suggest that it's Bush's fault without assigning any responsibility to Obama.

Hey, it worked for Reagan when he blamed everything on Carter for two or three years. Not that I'd disagree, either. Poor-performing predecessors have long-term consequences.

LOL at thinking everything happens in a few days.

Now, nearing four months in...

Bwa-ha-ha!  Good to see things haven't changed much in the last couple weeks.

Biden's take on the stimulus effect scrutinized (I know, it's from that biased, anti-Obama AP):

I love this part:

THE FACTS: Since February, the nation has lost more than 1.3 million jobs, according to the Department of Labor. To make the case that the country created jobs over that same stretch, the White House has put forward a benchmark of jobs created "or saved." The argument is that the job numbers would have been even worse had it not been for the stimulus, and the difference between those numbers is a net positive.

To visualize that disconnect, consider this: The administration has promised to create or save 600,000 more jobs in the next 100 days. Even if the nation loses another 5 million jobs during that span (a highly unlikely prospect) the White House could still claim success.

Yeah, they pumped his BS in the Tulsa World this morning as well.  I trust nothing coming out of Biden's mouth.

Well well, another hater. Don't ya know you cannot be critical of Obama? Countdown til the usual "I wanna have sex with Obama" folks come to Biden's defense 3..2..1

It is impossible to tie metrics to something like tax cuts or stimulus packages.  Bush did the same crap with his tax cuts.  However, he claimed we would "create" x jobs in y time frame.  Which we didn't even get close to that.  Now we have the same thing with "it would be worse".
