Uh there are 2 of your 9 that said it didnt work and 4 of the others are based on modeling (i.e. guessing)

Interesting interpretation. Much more credible to listen to an anti-Obama op-ed.

If it worked so well why are things still so bad?

It's just that simple. Right

So flawed studies are the way to go? The same dopes who put those studies out are cut from the forecasting cloth of the idiots Obama hired that said the stimulus would prevent unemployment from reaching 8%.

Surely you read the "op-ed" piece which detailed a study which took real data from real people (unlike forecasting which is like taking Mike Watchmakers selections as fact) and showed the flaws that are being misinterpreted in other studies?

Of course the stimulus worked. Look at how the economy is growing. Look at how unemployment has gone down. Look at how the mood of the country has brightened. Look at Obama's ratings, surely the continued slump in those numbers can't be fallout from his hugely successful stimulus package because everybody loves Obamacare so it couldnt possibly be that either. Look at all those "shovel-ready" project that were completed. Look at the consumer spending. Surely the stimulus was a home run...

OBAMA: "The American Jobs Act answers the urgent need to create jobs right away."

THE FACTS: Not all of the president's major proposals are likely to yield quick job growth if adopted. One is to set up a national infrastructure bank to raise private capital for roads, rail, bridges, airports and waterways. Even supporters of such a bank doubt it could have much impact on jobs in the next two years because it takes time to set up. The idea is likely to run into opposition from some Republicans who say such a bank would give the federal government too much power. They'd rather divide money among existing state infrastructure banks.

--that doesn't sound like a very good idea. read it and the rest if you wish:

Listen the guy is simply campaigning. HE needs to create the illusion that he is creating jobs or he is going to lose to one of the most uninspiring candidates in history (whatever GOP dope wins). He is still trying to act as though he is some bipartisan bystander in no way associated with the mess in Congress. The lefties are crying because he isn't radical enough in their opinion yet he is smart enough to realize that he better not appear to lean too far left if he is going to have a chance. Only the ineptness of the current GOP field has prevented him from being a huge underdog and leaning further left gives him no chance because he knows that the GOP will shred him with the economy being so bad. Of course the lefties also forget that their agenda cant thrive in an economic climate like we have now as there is just no more money for them to blow.
