Stimulus = FAIL!

Third, you have the audacity to infer that Jesus Christ was a liberal? Wrong. Jesus was all about free will and liberty. He never forced anyone to choose His Way. To you libs, govt. and your Nobama is your god, the magic genie answer to all your problems that denies the true Creator. And dictatorships and oligarchies, socialism/communism strips men of dignity, liberty and freedom and enslaves. Nope. Jesus would never condone such a system. Better study your Bible and your U.S. history more.

if i was president of USA, I would of murdered everybody in the middle east by now, take their oil rigs and bring everybody home. this would work because everybody hates americans regardless whatever we do. the middle eastern people have horrible morals anyways, they will never learn whats right and wrong.

War consist of innocent bi-standard casualties, non of that is happening. If one terrorist in iraq walks into a cafe and blows it up, thats not war, its domestic violence.

Yet, by the end of fiscal 2009, fully 78% of the federal spending authorized by that bill had not yet taken place, according to the Government Accountability Office. In the meantime, the national unemployment rate climbed 26 percent, from 8.1 percent in February to 10.2 percent in October.

Despite Obama's claims that enacting the $787-Billion Stimulus was urgent, 78% of money remained unspent by the end of Fiscal 2009. The CBO said: After Obama's election, & until the $787-billion American Recovery & Reinvestment Act was passed, Obama insisted it was urgent for Congress to enact his economic "recovery" bill immediately.

Austinbit,

Another observation about our liberal "friends" is that they never seem to be too concerned about the contractors and soldiers who have been tortured or beheaded with butcher knives, nor those that were in the WTC on 9/11. No outcry. But let one of our CIA agents or military interrogators waterboard a terrorist thug and they scream bloody murder calling the USA evil. More evidence that libs DO NOT THINK! They care more for the perpetrators/terrorists than for the victims. Shameful.

Austinbit,

You know, that would really make the liberal vermin just happy as hell. Unless they happened to be the victim afterwards. They're real zealous until they are PERSONALLY affected, then it's different. Liberalism is all about self-loathing on every position they take and is indefensible. Killing an innocent in the womb is okay because it's a woman's right to choose. But putting a murderer to death is not okay because that's cruel. Yah. Makes sense to me. Absolutely mindless.

[Austinbit]

I got a brilliant idea! How about we let these terrorists go. THEN...we open our borders, let them come in, and murder Americans. Next, we forgive them, because we ALL know that anyone can be rehabilitated....

[Austinbit]

At least the Bush administration is open about torture, while your socialists just send them over to other countries so they can get away with it...

No waste? The whole bill was a waste!! It was supposed to keep unemployment below 8%!!! It's ended up making it worse! 10.5 now!?

As far as foreign relations, I'd rather have a president who's feared by our friends than considered a sissy by our enemies. Obama sucks in record time.
