The Anniversary of Empty Promise
Knee Deep and Rising
REUTERS - On anniversary, Obama defends economic stimulus
President Barack Obama vigorously defended his $787 billion stimulus on Wednesday, insisting it rescued Americans from the worst of the economic calamity and ripping Republican critics who called it a waste.
Obama and Vice President Joe Biden launched a sweeping effort to convince skeptical Americans that the stimulus has been beneficial on the one-year anniversary of a plan that was pushed through the U.S. Congress by Democratic majorities.
Obama, in a White House speech, said he believed the stimulus will save or create 1.5 million jobs in 2010 after saving or creating as many as 2 million jobs thus far.
Just to put things in perspective Mr. President, if we took your salary and applied it to pay the $787 $862 billion stimulus price tag. It would take two million one hundred fifty five thousand years to pay it off. That’s without even considering the interest that would have accrued.
America no longer believes you Mr. President. Check out the 337+ comments to the above article and see for yourself.
Americans are catching on real fast. They recognize Bovine Splatitude when they hear it, even without the help of Talk Radio.
