Any Republican Want to Pop Up on Obama’s Bus Tour?

On October 17, 2011, in barack obama, Uncategorized, by starsh1p

You know, if I were one of the lesser-known Republican candidates, I might try to get to West Wilkes High School in Millers Creek, N.C., by 5 p.m. today, where Obama is holding one of his pass-my-jobs-plan rallies. A GOP candidate could get a lot of attention by showing up and making the argument that the jobs plan — already rejected by vulnerable Democrats like Jon Tester of Montana and Ben Nelson of Nebraska — represents a smaller rerun of the stimulus policies that failed to bring down unemployment. Tomorrow night there’s another GOP debate, but presuming a GOP candidate could catch a late flight to Las Vegas, they could try to pop up at one of Obama’s stops in Jamestown, N.C., Emporia, Va., or Hampton, Va.

What Obama Left Out of His Big Speech

On September 9, 2011, in barack obama, Stimulus Spending, Uncategorized, by curits

I caught about two-thirds to three-quarters of the speech on radio before getting out of the car. Apparently I missed the parts where Obama talked about how we got into this recession, how Freddie and Fannie played a role in the housing bubble, why all the stimulus spending failed to keep unemployment under 8 percent as his team projected, how all of this new spending will get different results than the stimulus he and his party passed, the figures he cited to explain how tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires are holding back recovery, how blaming the country’s deficit and debt problems on millionaires and billionaires doesn’t qualify as “class warfare,” and why what sounded like another campaign speech had to be given before a joint session of Congress. I’m sure I’ll find all that in the transcript. I guess he didn’t want Styrofoam columns for his party-convention speech this time around.

White House: Stimulus Law Is Working as Promised

On October 1, 2010, in barack obama, Uncategorized, by

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama’s $800 billion-plus economic stimulus law may not be earning good grades with the public, but the White House claims it’s on track to produce the promised 3.5 million jobs. The report says about two-thirds of the stimulus money has been spent via tax cuts or government spending and remarkably little of the money has gone out fraudulently. The stimulus bill was passed in February of last year to try to reverse the worst recession since the Great Depression. The White House and many economists credit it with giving the economy a needed jolt. But Republicans counter that it’s been ineffective, citing a nationwide unemployment rate still hovering near 10 percent.
