The Obama Disaster– Only 11% Say Economy Better Since Dems Passed $787 Stimulus
Posted by Jim Hoft on Thursday, February 4, 2010, 8:09 AM
No wonder democrats are running for cover.
Only 11% of Americans say that their economic situation has improved over the last year… 11%.
Don Surber broke down the latest PPP report. It doesn’t look good for Team Obama:
If you want a prism into why Democrats are struggling so much right now, this may sum it up: only 11% of voters across the country say that their economic situation has improved over the last year compared to 42% who think it has become worse. 47% say it’s about the same as it was.
The GOP holds a 57-27 generic Congressional ballot lead with those voters who say their
fortunes have worsened, while Democrats lead 49-33 with the folks who have improved
or stabilized.
Related… The number of newly laid-off workers filing initial claims for jobless benefits rose unexpectedly again last week.
You’d think they’d be getting used to this by now.

Quick Rahm, schedule another town hall in Elkhart, Indiana. Axelrod, load bash Bush past 8 years opus #4 into the teleprompter. Gibbs, more snarky wisecracks for WH press corp. Jarret, call AP, make sure the word “unexpectedly” is used in their headline.

11%?
Must be government workers.
mrt commented:
There’s that word again.
“Unexpectedly”.
They really need to find a new adverb.
How about “inevitably”?

and from the boston globe and ma – during the last 3 months the stimulus was credited with
9,261 jobs – of which just over half were in state agencies. 4,700+ in state agencies……

Geithner says it is better. That means it is better for him and not the rest of us.
Dell commented:
11% is just about what one would reasonably call the left wing of the Democrat Party! However, it should be noted that they make 100% of the NOISE, therefore, they’re more important.
The three major election results have gone “unnoticed” or have been spun into a call for even MORE federal government stupidity.
November can’t get here soon enough. It’s time to enact our own TERM LIMITS.

This is what happens when you take money from the private sector and use it to pay for political favors. There are no jobs. Get it? Let us eat cake.

Obama, Pelosi, Rangel, Geithner, Holder on Judicial Watch 2009 Most Corrupt List; MSM Silent
Furthermore, Obama has been on Judicial Watch’s Most Corrupt list each year since 2006—in 2008, and 2007, and 2006 (dishonorable mention).

Albert Einstein Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

I was skeptical of the 11% but TaSS at #2 explained it.

Repo men, pawn shop owners, lawyers, policemen, corrections officers….They are at the top of the food chain now.
Tod commented:
$787 doesn’t sound like very much of a stimulus. Wasn’t it more than that?
sandy commented:
Rush said this morning that Dems sat quietly when Obama met with them and told them to vote for his agenda and not worry about their elections. After he left the Dems grumbled about his agenda costing them their seats. So all is not quiet on the Left Front.
sandy commented:
As I write this the Dow is down 241 points. This might be due to the EU and their currency which is coming apart. Has Obama commented on this? As soon as the teleprompter tells him what to say he might just comment on this.
avery commented:
SEIU and ACORN doing just fine.
Thomas Jackson commented:
Nigerians offering special investments want the names and addresses of those 11%.

Can’t wait till this fraud and liar is out of office. I will have a great party — lasting months, no! Years!

BO has an agenda that only a marxist would love – probably 11% of the Democratic party!
American Elephant commented:
11 percent? Funny, thats about exactly the percent of Americans who work for labor unions. Imagine that!
