BOTH parties are working against all of us now. No matter what you believe they are all stealing.

1. Democrat Nancy Pelosi has a networth of 58 million

2. Democrat Hillary Clinton has a networth of 34 million

3. Democrat Bill Clinton has a networth of 80 million

4. Democrat Senator Herb Kohn has a networth of 231 million

5. Democrat Congressman Jarel Polis has a networth of 161 million

6. Democrat Senator Jay Rockefeller has a networth of 82 million

7. Democrat Senator Mark Warner has a networth 70 million

8. Democrat Senator Richard Blumenthal has a networth of 64 million

9. Democrat Senator Frank Lautenberg has a networth of 50 million

10. Democrat Senator Dianne Feinstein has a networth of 46 million

11. Democrat Congressman Harry Teague has a networth of 40 million

12. Democrat Congress woman Jane Harman has a networth of 112 million

13. Democrat Senator John Kerry has a networth of 188 million

(Overall the richest politicians in Washingtion are Democrats)
And I'm sure you keep track of worth of republican idiots as well. But your argument is nothing but the same old tactic meant for deflection. Either that, or you have no clue what I implied by cronyism.

If you think Obama could get anything done, why did we have 2/3 of the recovery package laden with tax cuts? Why was public option dropped out of health care reform? What came out of his demand for restructuring of tax codes? His demand for financial regulations? His desire to close Gitmo? Just to name a few. Please proceed.

Also Joe Biden even admits the stimulus was a failure. All it did was keep teachers/public sector employees working and bailed out state governments.

Now the state governments are facing even bigger cuts to be made and deficits.

You may be onto something and must have the perfect explanation of how an era of such "great" growth and low unemployment rate can result in this:
Job growth in Private Sector (Jan 2001-Jan 2009): -652K
Growth in Civilian Labor Force (Jan 2001-Jan 2009): +10.3 million

Aren't you someone who claims paying zero in federal income tax and then complains about it? I guess then you should be happier with Obama that he raised your taxes... but wait, you didn't pay anymore than you did before. But hey, I get it that you have to do the obligatory whining.

BTW, Bush tax cuts weren't permanent either... yet you speak of them with quite an authority.

Try Nov 2001 through Jan 2008 and you'll get different numbers. We all know what happened in 2008 and to get an accurate picture of job creation under Bush, it's best to look at only the months when the economy was not in recession.
