Like i said before, the stimulus did jack shit, the economy would have recovered regardless, there isnt a single policy obama has taken which has stimulated economic growth......besides giving monkeys a shit load of cocaine.
So, what is the $71,623 federal stimulus grant paying for? Well, a job, said Mark Wright, a spokesman for the Wake Forest University School of Medicine. "It's actually the continuation of a job that might not still be there if it hadn't been for the stimulus funding. And it's a good job," Wright said. "It's also very worthwhile research." The study is examining the effects of cocaine on a particular neurotransmitter among monkeys who have had a long-term addiction to cocaine. The medical school boasts a significant body of work studying addiction. Ultimately, the study could lead to better treatment for recovering cocaine addicts.

"The study is examining the effects of cocaine on a particular neurotransmitter among monkeys who have had a long-term addiction to cocaine." My only question is...... "how the fuck does a fucking monkey develop an addiction to cocaine?" LOL i will pay someone a gnote to bring me a coke addicted monkey...... apparently they are quite common among liberal studies.
You need to take the blinders off, bub. There were LOTS of culprits.. Bush was one of but many players.
All? What about the democrap majority in the House and the Senate since Jan 07 (almost 4 years)? Anyway... here's what Obama said HIS policies would do versus reality: <img src=http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=2905320>
Material girl Michelle Obama is a modern-day Marie Antoinette on a glitzy Spanish vacation Andrea Tantaros Thursday, August 5th 2010, 1:53 AM <img src=http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=2917132> Sacrifice is something that many Americans are becoming all too familiar with during this economic downturn. It was a key theme in President Obama's inaugural address to the nation, and he's referenced it numerous times when lecturing the country on how to get back on its feet. But while most of the country is pinching pennies and downsizing summer sojourns - or forgoing them altogether - the Obamas don't seem to be heeding their own advice. While many of us are struggling, the First Lady is spending the next few days in a five-star hotel on the chic Costa del Sol in southern Spain with 40 of her "closest friends." According to CNN, the group is expected to occupy 60 to 70 rooms, more than a third of the lodgings at the 160-room resort. Not exactly what one would call cutting back in troubled times. Reports are calling the lodgings of Obama's Spanish fiesta, the Hotel Villa Padierna in Marbella, "luxurious," "posh" and "a millionaires' playground." Estimated room rate per night? Up to a staggering $2,500. Method of transportation? Air Force Two. To be clear, what the Obamas do with their money is one thing; what they do with ours is another. Transporting and housing the estimated 70 Secret Service agents who will flank the material girl will cost the taxpayers a pretty penny. Perhaps it could be that the Obamas, who seem to fancy themselves more along the lines of international celebrities than actual leaders, espouse a different view of sacrifice. When Michelle Obama accompanied her husband to Copenhagen along with best buddy Oprah Winfrey, she billed the trip - an ultimately unsuccessful bid to bring the Olympics to Chicago - as follows: "As much of a sacrifice as people say this is for me or Oprah or the President to come for these few days, so many of you in this room have been working for years to bring this bid home." A quick jaunt to Denmark is a sacrifice? What portraits in courage! The Obama modus operandi is becoming clear. From lavish trips to Spain to reportedly flying Bo, the President's Portuguese water dog, on a separate aircraft to vacation with them in Maine, to a date night in New York City that perhaps cost nearly $100,000, their idea of austerity is really just the lap of luxury, at least for ordinary folks. Incredibly, the Obamas have long portrayed themselves as precisely such commoners. Just this month, Obama told ABC the First Couple is "not that far removed from what most Americans are going through." And that "it was just a few years ago that we had high credit card balances, we had two kids, thinking about college. We had our own retirement accounts, wondering if we were going to be able to get enough assets in there." If that's true, why not select a more appropriate destination like the California coast? The scenery is just as gorgeous as that of Spain, and instead of patronizing a foreign country they would be pumping money into an American economy that desperately needs it. Camp David wouldn't exactly be slumming it, either. A long weekend there would really send a message of responsibility, leadership and compassion. For a couple that has sharply criticized former President George W. Bush so widely, they could stand to follow his example for once and select a more low-key locale, as Bush regularly did in his Texas vacations. Instead, Michelle Obama seems more like a modern-day Marie Antoinette - the French queen who spent extravagantly on clothes and jewels without a thought for her subjects' plight - than an average mother of two. While she's spent her time in the White House telling parents they should relieve their chubby kids' dependency on sugar and stressing the importance of an organic veggie garden, hopping a jet to Europe to meet with Spanish royalty isn't the visual the White House probably wants to project. Perhaps they've forgotten the damning image of John Kerry, on the eve of the 2004 election, windsurfing off the coast of Nantucket? I don't begrudge anyone rest and relaxation when they work hard. We all need downtime - the First Family included. It's the extravagance of Michelle Obama's trip and glitzy destination contrasted with President Obama's demonization of the rich that smacks of hypocrisy and perpetuates a disconnect between the country and its leaders. Toning down the flash would humanize the Obamas and signify that they sympathize with the setbacks of the people they were elected to serve. In January, President Obama insisted that "everybody in the country is going to have to sacrifice something, accept change for the greater good. Everybody is going to have to give. Everybody is going to have to have some skin in the game." If sacrifice is the precursor to change, what will the family that ran on change offer up? Elitist doublespeak won't cut it. http://www.nydailynews.com/opinions...inette_on_a_glitzy_spanish.html#ixzz0vka65lxZ
notice that Unemployment rate cannot go above the magical 10% anymore, Obama has given his orders to the labour bureau not to induce panic in the masses. Everyone knows things are getting worse, a lot worse.
Considering the state of the economy, couldn't MO have taken her extravagant vacation IN THE USA.. spend the money here to help some American business and its employees? Couldn't she pospone her Spain vacation until they were on their own nickel? Just one more thing to make us all PUKE over the Obamas...
