IMHO, they spent it on the wrong things... It only ended up increasing gubmint jobs and paychecks and did little to help the rest of America... It "created or saved" few jobs, and the numbers are all made up anyway... not a good measure of success...What I see is that most economists for whom I have respect believe that in order to recover from the meltdown, that government needed to spend money. There aer many who would say they didn't spend enough to do it right and that they should have done a whole WPA type project and gotten people jobs doing shovel-ready projects. I happen to believe that the recovery would be stronger and quicker if they had followed that route.
I suppose in a way, the dems "own" it because the repubs forced their hands and made them do it unilaterally so that if it crashes and burns, they can say "oooh...oooooh...see...they failed" because ultimately, that's all the party of "no" wants, IMO. As a political strategy, it works, if, in fact, it fails. I just don't think it will. I don't think it does enough TO fail. And THAT is where they miscalcuated. Again-- in my opinion.Republicans forced nobody... They have a 60 vote majority, but acted like the minority party... The reason is obvious... Make it a bipartisan effort and they don't eat the blame...
Every President should be judged on his actions - there is no grace period... Barry hasn't just been atending events and getting awards and peace prizes and such...I figure the dems should be judged in month 11 the way bush was judged in month nine...
in other words, he wasn't. and, amazingly, for eight years, they claimed that clinton caused every problem of the bush presidency.
i assume you objected to that too?
That is your opinion... I have seen that democrats don't like playing with others...and before the repubs have any success, they have to stop being extremists who exclude every person who isn't in lockstep.
Many conservatives in Alabama vote the way their pappy voted.
Some of them are so pig-headed they would never consider changing their votes...even if they hate blacks, and gays, and Muslims.
They don't even know nor care what the Dems are doing. They just look for the (D) and push.
George Wallace's Ghost wants his Ears Back, Mudwhistle.
Alabama Representative Parker Griffith (D) is going to announce today that he is so unnerved by the health care bill that he's switching to the Republican party.
Good deal.

Sounds good, but I'm not sure the Republicans need anymore Democrat-lites in their party.... He probably realizes anyone with a (D) besides their name is going to have a hard time getting re-elected... Anyway, I guess that's a start.
Exactly. The Dems are committing political suicide and they know it. At least this guy is honest about wanting to remain in power.
Democratic Rep. Parker Griffith announced Tuesday that he's switching parties saying he can no longer align himself with a party that continues to pursue legislation that is bad for our country, hurts our economy and drives us further and further into debt.

peacefully or not??
trashed the country for eight years and now you're worried?
Unless something changes rapidly, there will be a change, peacefully or not. Me? I'd only go the peaceful route, I'm a real liberal at heart.

WTF are you talking about?
History stopped for some libs on 1/20/2009.....
Since you are the ones refusing to hold bush accountable for anything and claim that all of the effects caused by his administration that carried over are on obama it seems that time stopped for you and not anyone on the left. LOL
Again, because you are completely unable to comprehend what is in front of your eyes, I and many others like me called out Bush on his spending habits and failure to use the veto pen... You can continue to flop and flounder claiming otherwise, but that would only prove how brain dead you are...
When you start placing some of the blame on the actions of the current President then I might consider taking you more seriously... Until then, good luck in your altered reality...

Stay tuned. My guess is that things are going to get very ugly. Truth is, federal isn't really amiable to Chicago way for long. Yet, those in power don't know different. Sooo...
