Probably his specificity hurts him, as opposed to the last guy 
good point.Probably his specificity hurts him, as opposed to the last guy
he seemed to make a lot of promises from the get go and most are going by the way-side.
but hey that eleventy trillion dollars he just spent on god knows what, wouldnt have worked for universal health care im sure
He's been in office what, 6 months now? I'd like to see you do better. The only thing you would have accomplished by now is Christening the Presidential Bong, probably several times.

he's been in office for 6 months but yet to find a way to spend trillions of American pesos and its gotten us where?
owning GM and some financial institutes?
is American any better now?
im sure most Americans would want health care before the attempted resuscitation of GM
would i do better? of course!
and i would have christened that bong on November 5th
Stevesy, you're looking at things the wrong way. Things aren't measured by how much more better they get, but how less worse they get. So we're more less worse now than we would have been with John "Impending Heart Failure" McCain, and way more less worse than we were with Gee Dubs.
Arguably yes.
Working for someone who's a direct recipient of stimulus dollars I can tell you that a lot of people just went back to work.
That report card is actually a hell of a lot better than what I would have expected.
7 broken promises and a hell of a lot more followed through on or being worked on. Not too bad for under a year.
youre right, a larger national deficit with money that is worth as much as the cotton its printed on, is far worse than morons that signed mortgages they could never pay for, losing their houses.
the U.S. dollar might as well be the Zimbabwe dollar where it cost $3trillion to take a bus

Who said anything about mortgages they couldn't afford? Don't buy into the hooplah that the entire mess we're in was simply due to house loans. It was what was done with them afterwords that were the bigger problem.
I'm talking about jobs.......jobs created and/or reinstated as a direct result of stimulus money into the private and public sectors. And improvement and at least partly and answer to your question I quoted.
And yeah I keep hearing about this inflation. Yet I'm still going to canada in two weeks and will not be paying even 1 to 1. It will happen to some degree not known yet but screaming failure doesn't make it true. And like johnny said....it's damage control at this point. Damage not caused by the people taking these actions.
But I agree...fvck GM. They screwed themselves.

That would be like a gambler blaming the roulette ball for the fact that just lost $100K betting on black...
Yeah but it was clinton's ball.
Oh, but imagine the fallout... the republitard rants against Obama if all those auto workers were out of a job.
"Obama caused Detroit to fail" etc.
Is that some kind of racist joke?
Obama used to make sh*tty cars?
OMG, the dollar is worth more now than it was a year ago, RUN FOR THE HILLS!!!youre right, a larger national deficit with money that is worth as much as the cotton its printed on, is far worse than morons that signed mortgages they could never pay for, losing their houses.

oh wait, what was the definition of Zimbabwe-style-hyper-inflation again?
I seem to remember hearing that zimbabwe inflation was in the neighborhood of 3000 percent a day. Is that correct?
I believe that that situation has eased somewhat as the US$ and the Rand have become de-facto currencies in Zimbabwe. As soon as Mugabe is gone the country will turn around quickly as the basic infrastructure is still in place. Zimbabwe even now is not the basket-case some African countries are.
