Just a few comments to interrupt my well deserved vacation...I know none of what either of us say is relavent but so what.....

Many right wing politicians and talkers have implied Obama cooked the books...I'll bet that "possibility" even crossed your mind

Obama did not the "promise" that the rate would be held below 8% if the stimulus was approved...An economic advisor said she feared the rate could go to 8% without the stimulus. She made this statement well before the stimulus was approved and before anyone realized the downturn was as bad as it turned out. I know you don't like it WW but the monthly job losses began to reverse after the stimulus began had a brief relapse into less positive territory as the stimulus programs began to run it's course about a year ago.

I guess you do not remember your history and the name Herbert Hoover. Unless there is a complete reversal of the current trends, by the time Obama begins his 2d term the new jobs (note, I don't claim he "creates" them...I know only Repubs can do that) will have more than replaced those lost under his watch. Those lost during Obama's admin and the last 12 months of W's 2d term will still exceed the new hires. It will be well into Obama's 2d term before that landmark is reached.

We are all entitled to our own opinions and we are fortunate live in a nation where we can freely express them...but even in the USA we are not entitled to our own facts.

Now my "opinion" is that the stimulus was a disappointment but far from a complete failure. I doubt it, but we may go back into recession, but if we do it will be inspite of whatever politicians including Obama do and because of the free market forces which you claim to love. THe recovery is more likely to plod along at a disapointing pace until the housing market finally hits bottom (it is almost there...sales and pricings have turned round her on the Florida panhandle where I am) and as consumer spending turns up because things are starting to wear out and have to be replaced rather than any actual big bump in consumer confidence. The GOP gloom/doom/swoon and scare campaign will make sure the nations confidence doesn't show a big uptick!
