Happy Birthday, Obama Stimulus!

 

“If I don’t get it done in three years, this [my administration] is going to be a one-term proposition.” – President Barack Obama, February 2009.

Lessee…checkin’ the ol’ calender here…

Three years later, how are we doing?

This is the projection of national debt FROM THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION:

And using numbers from the Obama administration, this is the cost per job “saved or created” by the “stimulus:”

‘Stimulus’ Has Cost $278,000 per Job

From the NON-PARTISAN Congressional Budget Office: “It’s the longest stretch of high unemployment since the Great Depression:”

And it’s the lowest percentage of the work force actually working since then, too:

President Obama said that if he didn’t turn the economy around in three years, he wouldn’t deserve another term. He said he should be judged by his results.

I know President Obama doesn’t usually keep his word (Gitmo, public financing, no superpacs, no tax hikes, etc) but this time—shouldn’t we keep it for him?

Natural Truth of the Day

"The Department of Justice went before a judge and alleged that Fox News reporter James Rosen was a criminal 'co-conspirator' in leaking classified information, in order to access his personal e-mail accounts. No reporter has ever been prosecuted as a co-conspirator under the Espionage Act; in all previous cases, it has been used to prosecute the leaker of classified information, not the recipient."-- Jim Geraghty, NRO's "Campaign Spot"
