Biden ignores problems with stimulus

"WASHINGTON - Vice President Joe Biden proclaimed success beyond expectations Thursday for the $787 billion economic stimulus, but his glowing assessment overlooks many of the program's problems, including delays in releasing money, questionable spending priorities and project picks that are under investigation."

Some Brand New Really Stupid Porkulus Projects

"And what about the wonderful, super, stimulus protect passed months ago, where are the jobs from that? Well No where. If Congress decided on a tax cut rather than a pork-laden stimulus our unemployment nightmare would be probably be turning around by now.Don't think that the money isn't being spent it sure has. And some of it has been spent on really stupid projects, below are some examples from Money magazine."

THE BLAME and TRIUMPH TOUR

"Anything good is Obama, anything bad is Bush."

"For me, I have never believed the government, and that includes the President, can control the economy. But for arguments sake, let's say he can. Wouldn't it seem proper that Obama claiming triumph speaks to his ability to look for sparkly, glittery data? Any President can do that and park in front of a podium for a political photo-op. Hell, I could. He is no business man and no economist, so really what's all the fuss about? He only listened to a bunch of sweaty nerds who had opinions about how the government MAY step in and push things along. No guarantees. Try this and that and hope for the best. It's spooky really. Obama is a ghost. He appears and disappears, depending on the reports and polling data. Or was he not a Senator? He never did jack crap for Illinois. (I was in Chicago when he was there and there was no "change" -- Robert) He can't have it both ways. Either you were a governing force and accomplished many great and important things or you were not. And if you were not, then you are a liar. So I think the President and his 'folks' should SHUT THE HELL UP. You caused this mess Mr. President, and to act otherwise is a damn lie. My mama always told me, when you point your finger at someone there are always 4 pointing back at yourself"

Nikki, you're all right.

Tea Party stands on priniciple and boo big government Republicans

"Tea Party protesters have little sympathy for big government Republicans who voted for the Bush/Obama banker bailouts or support the Obama 'stimulus' trillion dollar debt bill."

Stimulus job creation numbers questioned

"'It's an open question whether or not the stimulus is a good deal for New Hampshire,' said Fred Tausch, a Nashua businessman and former Obama supporter who founded STEWARD, which stands for Save the Economy without Accumulating Record Debt, earlier this year to oppose the administration's stimulus package.

"The study, conducted by PolEcon research of Dover and unveiled Monday, said the largest portion of New Hampshire's allocation will simply replace existing state education and Medicaid spending with federal money. Because these funds do not represent new spending, the study concluded, it 'will not increase aggregate demand or stimulate job creation.'"
