That story is from the heady days of "recovery summer". Not even the WH is making that claim now. The stimulus is a bigtime loser for obama's campaign - he'll be doing his best to pretend it never happened......

Since we're reliving the nostalgia of one year ago, there's this:

If I were in charge of the govt. I'd hand you the $.
That's what Republicans want to do. Tax cuts are the same as handing people money.

Default President Obama's policies work

It's pretty simple. When President Obama took office, the country was an economic mess courtesy of Bush and the Republicans. They kept taxes low, especially for the rich, and still wrecked the economy. We had a record deficit. Further cuts kept us on the same road to ruin. This is what the GOP wants now so the economy looks bad and they can campaign about it being President Obama's fault. The GOP is focused only on the next election. They have nothing positive to campaign about themselves because their record has been worse than dismal, so they do what they do best: help wreck the economy - blame it on Obama. They're primitive and perpetuate neanderthal economic policies.

President Obama's plans work. They help the economy, create jobs. The problem though is the ongoing Republican obstructionist tactics in Congress. With Republicans in this mode, further progress is hampered. The GOP's tea party contingent also represents a stench that this country doesn't need.

I expect voters to reflect this reality next year, voting to replace Conservatives with their superiors: Democrats. Another clear victory for President Obama as well.

It's amazing, some people truly are just blind little sheep.

If Obama's policies would work without the Republicans, pray tell, what about the two years they had full control of all three parts of the gov't?
