Why is the CBO info positive and used by the regime when the news is positive for him, but it's BS when it's negative?

Basically the same thing that your bum buddies in the Republican party either did or were proposing to do. The OP was being a partisan whiner and presenting things in a biased one sided manner. I'd do the same thing if I were emotionally attached to one party and didn't want to own up to my votes causing the Great Recession.

This forum is sadly, replete with a bunch of overly emotional people who are given their opinions daily by right wing blogs. It's sort of sad.
Sometimes I think you post just to hear yourself type. Something about your posts makes you feel good.....but I don't think any of us on the forum have figured out what that is exactly. Feel free to spell it out for us. I"m sure i'm not the only one who doesn't see your point.

I get the impression that you're about 22 years old....max. It sort of reminds me of Urkel with a political twist. Seriously....what in the world should any of us take away from these posts that you're infamous for? <shrugs>

$400,000 went to upgrade a small DC park, which was summarily trampled over and ruined by OWS'ers.

McPherson Square in Washington, D.C., received more than $400,000 in upgrades as part of President Obama's stimulus program including replanting grass and landscaping—much of which was damaged or destroyed when the Department of Interior (DOI) permitted illegal camping in the park for the recent "Occupy" protests
I quess that was 'extra-stimulative' because repairing the damage must have created more jobs.

Some of the money was given to the states to give out.

Don't you love how when the stimulus is seen as a positiver thing the Democrats put it all on Obama the Magnificent. When it is a problem they quickly shift the blame elsewhere.

I just wish that Obama would have been honest and followed his campaign promise of transparency and time to debate bills. That certainly could have made Obama more accountable to what the money was going towards. Then Obama wouldn't have been able to act like a drunken sailor throwing money every which way.

Like throwing more government money at Murtha Airport to make a longer run way for bigger planes, they average 3 flights a day with 19 total passengers.

That is okay, OWS types are part of the 47% of households that don't pay federal income taxes. It wasn't their money they wasted!

I'd also like to hear it's version of how the GOP caused the recession.
