I'm not questioning why Obama proposed his plan. I didn't expect anything different than another stimulus.
I just don't understand why some posters here think it's going to work this time.
The problem isn't that you don't understand. The problem is that your ideologies, if not sheer hatred for the man, gets in the way.
The republican opposition. That was the point in the post you are questioning.
The Republicans opposed the first stimulus but it passed and failed.
By your logic the Republicans should reluctantly pass it so it fails again and then blame Obama right before the election.

If it fails, it helps the republicans. Those politicians you speak for aren't dumb. Failed economy for success has been the obvious mantra for almost three years now.
To repeat my earlier point, Obama's failures can be attributed to agreeing with republicans... the first stimulus involved more of the same... 2/3 of it tax cuts. And I disliked that then, as I dislike the idea of payroll cuts in this one.
Another way to look at it would a similar claim that his policies helped avoid worsening of the economy into another Great Depression.
Yes, as ridiculous as that is, it would be another way to look at it. Kinda like back in the days when doctors used to bleed patients to cure them.....

LOL! im kidding around. Im with you on this, but the left does seem to think mr. obama is really smart and therefore when he says the same thing others have (and they failed) this time because mr obama is really smart that same stuff is gonna work.
