Yesterday was the one year anniversary of the failed stimulus. Only 6% of all Americans believe that the Stimulus Bill did anything to create or save jobs, while 7% believe that Elvis is still alive. Think about it~
OBAMA GOES TOO FAR AND FALLS TOO SHORT
Obama's 'plan' appears to be working. Of course, it's not the plan of which he speaks - healthcare for everyone, clean energy, jobs-jobs-jobs (that 3 letter word) and, let's not forget, world peace. No, it's his plan to destroy the America we all know and love, while in the process blaming George W. Bush. The problem is, or not, it appears to be blowing up in his face. This on the one year anniversary of his failed stimulus, for which he is doubling down.
Obama's popularity has gone through the floorboards, and his congress is jumping ship, seeing the writing on the wall. Bi-partisan conflict has nothing to do with his problems, when he has a majority in both Houses. Big corporations such as ConocoPhillips, BP, and Caterpillar have also jumped ship by quiting the Climate Group because the big lie is now public knowledge. Obama loves to bash, and is probably the most negative person ever to hold the powerful office of United States President. Polls apart from a loving and gracious President Ronald Reagan.
Dick Morris write a great piece on this from TheHill.com:
Obama Goes Too Far and Falls Too Short
by Dick Morris, February 16, 2010
One of my favorite quotes about politics comes from Henry Kissinger in his book Years of Upheaval, his memoir of the Ford Presidency:
"A statesman's duty is to bridge the gap between his vision and his nation's experience. If his vision gets too far out ahead of his nation's experience, he will lose his mandate. But if he hues too close to the conventional, he will lose control over events."
Now, at once, we see both happening to President Obama.
His health care proposals obviously ran afoul of the first of Kissinger's warnings. By pushing for changes that conflicted with America's values, common sense, and experience, he lost his mandate. In that disastrous push for an elusive goal, he ruined his own presidency and his party. It may take decades for the Democratic Party to recover from his folly. Indeed, his push for health legislation, in the face of rapidly eroding public support, ranks with the War in Vietnam, Watergate, and, of course, Clinton's health care initiatives as the most costly to their respective political parties.
But now, as he faces threats from Iran, domestic terrorism, continually high unemployment, and the swollen deficit, he is also violating the second half of the Kissinger warning - his politics are too passive and too conventional and, as a result, losing control over events.
In the phase of presidential dithering in the aftermath of the Brown victory in Massachusetts, there is no clear presidential message, no coherent strategy and, even, no identifiable program. His budget cuts are far too tepid. His tax program nothing new. Obama's stimulus 2 package seems like the same old, same old.
His short lived bounce from the State of the Union speech is indicative of how limited a vision he has these days. It lasted a week and was never more than three points at its apogee.
And, as Kissinger would have predicted, he is losing control over events. Senator Evan Bayh's retirement, with its implied blast at Obama's policies, the increasing recklessness of Iran, and the seemingly intractable unemployment all provide evidence that President Obama is no longer dictating the national agenda.
As a result, the negatives he incurred by moving too far out ahead of the nation's experience are combining with those he is getting for being too conventional. He is experiencing both ends of the Kissinger prediction. Republicans and Independents are still in shock from his headlong rush into socialism while Democrats are increasingly restive and disillusioned by his failure to lead.
And...the entire country is worried at his passivity in the face of domestic terror threats and the rapidly growing Iranian momentum toward the acquisition of nuclear weapons.
While his job rating has remained relatively stead in recent months, hovering just below 50% of likely voters, his ratings in specific areas - like holding down spending, cutting the deficit, creating jobs, and managing the economy -- are all eroding, presaging further drops in his overall ratings.
Seemingly paralyzed by adversity, President Obama and his advisors are showing a lack of resilience in the face of reversals that is perhaps the inevitable outcome of his smooth rise to the top in 2008. Never tried by bad outcomes (as Hillary has doubtless been), he and they seem unable to regain momentum and appear to be just flailing without strategic or even tactical direction.
All this might be what happens when you elect a State Senator whose US Senate career was consumed with his presidential campaign as president.

America… the financial fall is coming. That seems to be the consensus from all the experts! Use this time to prepare:
God, Gold, Guns and Granny’s Fruit Cellar Supplies are a good guide to follow to be ready for any emergency or for the Perfect Storm, that many have predicted.
Make yourself as self reliant as possible and if you haven’t already, start today!!
Expect the worst and prepare for it while praying and hoping for the best.
If you are ready for any emergency and it doesn’t happen, you just end up ahead of the game for a natural emergency or with some extra. If you are not ready and there is an emergency, it could be devastating for you and your family.
GB: Happy Anniversary Stimulus!
It's been a great year, hasn't it? Filled with jobs and a booming economy, and it's all thanks to the stimulus. Well, no, but that sure is the way the administration made it sound today. Biden, with a straight face, touted the 2 million created or saved jobs in the midst of 9.7% unemployment. Glenn talks about the wonders of the stimulus on radio this morning.

There are solutions
“POTUS FLIP FLOP ON WHO REALLY CREATES JOBS… Spoken like the true idiot he is.......he has now flip flopped from one year ago when he said only government can create jobs. I guess it depends whether he reads the right or left teleprompter... hmmmmmm~” …Michelle Malkin
