Obama: The Wizard of Oz President

Obama passed his ARRA stimulus at a tune of nearly $800 billion.   Unemployment skyrocketed beyond most predictions to 10% - where it has roughly hovered now for months.   Now, Obama - on a downward PR spiral, has decided to tell America to close their eyes, click their heels and repeat, "there's no place like hope, there's no place like hope."   Oh, and, take $50 billion and call me in the morning.  

...So let me get this straight, $900 billion didn't do the trick, but an extra $50 billion will make us prosperous again?  Surely our 'academic' President doesn't believe his own nonsense.  He probably figures it's something he can tack on in time for the November elections... and if things do start turning around in the employment department, it's one more thing he can point to....   I can't nevertheless help but feel a little 'talked down' to.  

Can this President do anything right?  Why did I vote for this ninny.  Bush was a complete idiot but at least he had conviction and a decisive goal - Obama just makes a wish upon a star (and by star I mean the US Treasury) and 'hopes' for the best.   I hope that in 2012 the American voters say to him:  "there's no place like home... and that is where we are sending you."

  1. I am suprised you think Bush had a "decisive goal" what do you call the multiple wars with no direction? I view that as his stimulus, not saying I am 100% Pro Obama but at least we are now spending money to help move our own country move forward.
