The "Stimulus ...I would have to disagree Will. The "Stimulus Pt. 2" seems like a toned down version of his previous failed plan, which didn't follow through on its promise to keep unemployment under 8%, and drastically increased the National Debt.<br /><br />After the specifics came out about the bill, everyone is beginning to realize its not really as bi-partisan as Obama's 3 speeches have touted it to be.<br /><br />And the notion that it would all be paid for confused both Republicans and Democrats. Obama's only means of paying for it, include more tax hikes, and borrowing more money. It shouldn't take a genius to know that Republicans won't like that.<br /><br />In my opinion, This whole Jobs act is campaign strategy. He is proposing something he knows the Republicans will disagree with, but by claiming that it is Bi-Partisan, he makes it seem as though the Right is being unreasonable. Then he can play the victim card in 2012, attesting to his altruistic attempts to help the American People, and demonizing the Republicans for holding him fiscally responsible.<br /><br />Its a political game Will. A power game, and Obama is playing to the crowd.Beaumonthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05656739991448348818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-373131336974671914.post-34681567218122771592011-09-13T17:26:12.877-04:002011-09-13T17:26:12.877-04:00On the other hand:
