I suspect you haven't really been paying attention. From the beginning, Obama was clear that the stimulus would take about two years to fully realize its potential.
I'm not saying its going to turn everything around, but it will be a piece of the puzzle (and, provide much needed infrastructure improvements and expansions).
Patience, young padwon learner. Patience.
He also said that the passage of the stimulus was needed to keep unemployment under 8%(I don't remember what the exact number was, but regardless, it FAILED).

u cant stop employers from laying people off esp if they looking after their own interest ,employers are gonna do what they want to regardless

Yes, that was a miscalculation. However, as I'm sure you know, the government can't control the vast market economy.
Many well regarded economists have made predictions about this recession that have been proven false. I sometimes think that Republicans put Obama on a pedestal of being able to control the entire world in a way none of his supporters ever would.
He's a president - in charge of one branch of government. He can influence the economy and the other branches, but in the end they operate on their own volition.
Again ... patience. It's all turning around for the better.

Well, the stock market's rallied to over 9,100. There's skyrocketing housing starts. Consumer spending is up and a lot of major companies are posting profits again.
All the early indicators are trending positive, though I did read a well-regarded economic forecaster who wrote back in 2008 that we were entering a prolonged economic depression that would see some positive upswings in '09 and then plummet and not fully recover until about 2020.
Now, if that happens, be aware that he wrote all that long before Obama took control so you can't blame Obama (as many will).

Cambridge is lucky to have such a dedicated and supportive police department.
You have less than 60 posts and have started one right wing thread after the other.....IF you are going to CONTINUE to do such,you better up your game because you are pretty transparent.
General approval polls mean nothing. People Like Obama as a person but I want polls about his handling of the economy and how people feel about him running he deficit to incredible unsustainable levels.
He's got both ends of the spectrum pissed at him. He's a one term wonder.
Liberals aren't happy with him because he's not spending enough or getting as hard core as they want on taxing the rich to death, taking over healthcare, pulling out of Iraq, or cracking down on environmental taxes. Conservatives aren't happy with him because he's a left wing tax and spend liberal who leans towards huge government, and his foreign policy harkens back to the Jimmy Carter era.
He better hope he can capture a huge amount of centrists and get his left leaning base to hold their noses. If he gets a serious primary challenge from the far left, he's done.
>>>> This is one centrist who knew he was a terrible choice and will be happy to see him go. Don't count on him getting centrists or independants to vote for him.

I guess you didn't watch the video then because there is a quote in it that says "I supported him. I voted for him. I will not again."
So instead of accusing the OP for making a false statement, I would suggest you apologize and watch the video.
