[QUOTE="diesel96, post: 777554, member: 9859"] Here, have some [URL="http://www.nytimes.com/2010/10/17/magazine/17obama-transcript.html?pagewanted=2&ref=magazine"][COLOR=#990000]context[/COLOR][/URL]: Leave it to the right wing to take a half-sentence snippet from an hour-long interview and work themselves into a tizzy over it. [FONT=Century Gothic][COLOR=red][/COLOR][/FONT] The stimulus prevented the recession from becoming a depression. It did not start on this President's watch. History did not begin on January 20, 2009. The economy was in the tank when this President took over. The stimulus brought us back from the brink. The fact that businessmen are not happy with him is no surprise. He's not a republican and did not bend to what they wanted. Of course, they all wanted him to let "the market correct itself." The lesson of what Herbert Hoover did after 1929 is lost on those yahoos. Adults are in charge now. Trying to put people back to work and fix the broken economy is "destroying this country." Repairing infrastructure is "destroying this country." Health care for everyone instead of the healthy few is "destroying this country." Ending two wars his predecessor started and could not finish is "destroying this country." Right. The stimulus created jobs because republicans who voted against the stimulus are out there taking credit for those very same jobs programs.
