8 years of bad decisions, and you expect a 180 degree u-turn in only 6 months??? Get real. We need at least 8 years if not 13 to get back on track. There is no way to get whole economy in order within 30, 60 or even 90 days!
How long does it take for YOU to get back on track if you have high bills, huge mortgage and no income? You can do that in 1 to 6 months?
Didn't think so...
Unemployment is going down. That's a good sign in terrible times.

Yes, Bush is still in office. Obama is just a shadow puppet.

Again step back and think. The point is the stimulus was a great waste of resources. There should have been a stimulus passed but a much more efficient one. The economy at some point would turn the corner anyway.
The projections showed with or without the stimulus that unemployment would drop to the same level by 2012.
President Bush on Wednesday signed a multibillion-dollar economic rescue package on Wednesday that means $300 to $1,200 rebates for many American households.
Bush called the measure "a booster shot for our economy" to stave off a recession.
Didn't really stave off a recession, but give the boy a cookie for trying.
President Bush on Monday formally asked Congress for the second half of the $700 billion Wall Street bailout package at the behest of President-elect Barack Obama as Democratic lawmakers said they have more faith in the incoming administration to spend the money wisely.
Now I personally think the bailout/stimulus was done hastily and poorly, but think again about laying this entirely at the feet of one President or the other.
How folks can make this as partisan as they do is beyond me.

To blame or praise a President for the economy is ludicrous to me.
The present day economy is too complex to have one person held responsible for its ebbs and flows.
