As long as we're "yes he does, no he doesn't"-ing -- I'm pretty sure he does. How could he not?!

Even if we had a strong economy with jobs for everyone (which we clearly do not) there are a lot of infrastructure needs. The society for civil engineers notes that roads and bridges across the nation are in bad shape and need attention. Do we need more events like the I-35 bridge collapse in Minnesota?
I agree, too bad they did not do this before instead of all the money they wasted.
If Obama had done something smart with the wad of money he blew before
we would have jobs as well as our infrastructure as well. Hell, even I could have figured that out
now we are broke and he is still spending, what a dope!!

That's dated Feb. 10. ?
Who wrote the stimulus bill?
Yeah Obama is so in touch that hes taking all these vacations while so many are without jobs. He spent a year working on healthcare while so many needed jobs. How long as he been in office and how long as it taken for Jobs to be his focus?
We'll have to wait for them to pass it before we can read it.

Job one - he must build his legacy - and at any cost.
While America suffers, he parties, golfs, vacations.
Oklahoma and Texas -- but they're great states for business investment! I wonder how they manage that, what corners they cut. Oh yeah, the current and future well-being of workers and their families!
We have a virtual cast system for workers here in MI. One set is the UAW member hired before the austerity measures were imposed on new hires. Those who were hired later work for a fraction of the pay and benefits unworthy of comparison to those received by the UAW's first group. Still others are industrial untouchables. They were previously employed by industries that supplied components to the Big Three. Now, since almost every one of these jobs have gone to Mexico and elsewhere, these workers are now the chronically unemployed who work for ever decreasing wages and fewer and fewer benefits. They are the ones leaving MI in droves to relocate in states like TX and OK.

Exactly where has that money gone? Since we need our roads repaired so badly. That must be spending that money on other things.
