Have you ever seen anyone go up to Obama and say, “I would like a dozen tulips”?

Frank J. Fleming gives us the reasons why Obama should be re-elected.

Here's one:  
And the guy has done absolutely everything he’s promised… that’s mattered. Like remember how he said he was going to pass a big stimulus and keep unemployment from being 8%? Well, he passed his stimulus, and now unemployment… is not 8%. It’s an entirely different number than that. If you really didn’t want 8% unemployment, well guess what: You’re not dealing with that level of unemployment. Promise kept. And look at all the work he did for it: He spent $666 billion to bypass 8% unemployment. Could you spend that much money? No way. If I sat you down in front of a computer, logged you in to Amazon, and said, “Spend $666 billion,” it would be futile. You’d be clicking “Buy Now” until your mouse broke. But Obama did it; the man’s got hustle.

Heh.  Read the rest.

A politician promised something he couldn't keep when circumstances changed. Just a couple months ago it was 7.9%, then people came off of unemployment and lo and behold there was no jobs as they all the openings went to people who were already unemployed. The President has limited ability to do anything with the economy, be more disingenuous why don't you.
Oh also it's $664.2

Y...you're joking me right. Oh my god, you..you aren't. You're really that much of a thicky. Yeah, the stimulus was an office of people buying stuff on the internet all day, not like, repairing infrastructure, recapitalizing banks, contracts, tanif and loans. This analogy holds water in your head. News for ya: 1/3rd at least of the stimulus was tax rebates. How much of that do you think you could spend? By the way, the stimulus itself hasn't even been paid out yet in entirety. It takes a long time for money to circulate through the economy, but as if you were going to give him a fair shake. He's a black man.
