Now that Obama has fallen on his face, what is next, more golf?
Even AP, Yahoo, and ABC news staff writers are turning on the annointed one. During the Great Depression when Herbert Hoover's stimulus program failed, he would spend his days fly fishing, rather than face the music. Obama plays golf. Different era, same avoidance tactics.

i think of he's concerning blacks in golf (Tiger Woods) a raciest remark. No i think of he's doing purely what he ought to be doing. Jobs are beginning as much as grow to be accessible. Housing is beginning as much as flow up. unlike George Bush that should be a poop sweeper in the back of a horse in a parade. Or examine tale's too kindergarten young toddlers (no that replaced into too confusing for him).

"The real economy also responded to the massive stimulus but remained heavily dependent on it. In the United States, growth during the second half of 2009 probably averaged about 3 percent. Absent temporary fiscal stimulus and inventory rebuilding, which taken together added about 4 percentage points to U.S. growth, the economy would have contracted at about a 1 percent annual rate during the second half of 2009." ~The American Enterprise Institute (AE)
If you are a Conservative you know what The American Enterprise Institute is.
----------------------
Mark Zandi, chief economist for Moody’s Analytics and former adviser to John McCain’s presidential campaign, and Alan Blinder, a Princeton University economist and former economic adviser to President Bill Clinton, modeled the past and what might have happened without the much-derided government responses.
Their findings: “Effects on real Gross Domestic Product, jobs and inflation are huge, and probably averted what could have been called Great Depression 2.0. For example, we estimate that, without the government’s response, GDP in 2010 would be about 6.5 percent lower, payroll employment would be less by some 8.5 million jobs, and the nation would now be experiencing deflation.”
The report notes that the bailout and federal loans had a deeper effect than stimulus spending, but that the stimulus added 2.7 million jobs to a limping economy and raised GDP by a full 2 percent.

I imagine that the media, the left, the liberal establishment and the Democratic party faithful were on the edge of their seats waiting breathlessly for something in this speech that they could hang their hats on.
It never came.
This wasn't a speech, it was an obituary.

Dude can't you come up with anything original? i'm sick of conservatives stealing all of the left's best anti-bush rhetoric. We were talking about Bush's 3 YEARS of vacation time out of the 8 year term 3 years ago.
Hey pollyanna you do know the surge was not a success right? before you start with your historical rewrite you can make sure to include the lack of an Iraqi government that was suppose to come from the surge, but never did.

I bet Obama lies about his golf score too !
Interesting to note that both Hoover and FDR were part of Wilsons administration and enacted Wilson style economic polices , there was no vast unemployment after the crash until 3 years later when FDR really strangled the economy .

Again he look weak. He is not Presidential acting. He opposed the Iraq surge. He voted to cut off funding to the troops. He was wrong then and his policies for America are wrong now.
