    "Our Plan Worked!"

    Anyone else seen / heard this?



    Just like we’ve tried their plan, we’ve tried our plan, and it worked. That’s the difference. That’s the choice in this election; that’s why I’m running for a second term.
    Really?

    We all know the numbers... massive unemployment... massive NEW debt measured in the trillions every year. Massive increases in poverty...

    Seriously... does anyone here think this will work to get Obama re-elected?

    I think he's making Romney's campaign ads for him...

    it certainly worked
    keeping more people dependent on the gov. so that nothing in the gov could be cut, so that taxes would have ot be raised, so more people would loose jobs and become more dependent on the gov. it worked just like libs want total dependence on the gov for everything.

    He has done exactly as he planned. Obamas problem now is to convince as many uninformed voters as possible that it wasn't his plan, but rather GWs poor stewardship that has us in this mess!

    I didn't know Obama smoked that much crack. And didn't he say if he couldn't turn things around he'd be a one term president?

    So he knows it coming then................
    Take a good hard look, it's coming.

    "Proof" of just how the Obama plan "worked"

    Apparently, most economists would agree that Obama's plan worked.

    Poll Results | IGM Forum

    As for the numbers, let's see what they say.

    On Jan. 21, 2009, the DOW was at 8,000 and falling, GDP for the quarter was down 6.7%, the consumer confidence index was at 37, unemployment passed 7.8% heading for 10%, we were involved in two wars and Osama bin Laden was at large.
    Today, the DOW is at almost 13,000 and rising, GDP has been up for ten of the last eleven quarters, the consumer confidence index is at 62, unemployment is at 8.2% and falling, American troops are out of Iraq and Osama bin Laden is dead.

    Some people forget that we're coming out of the greatest recession since the Great Depression. It took 9 years and a world war to fully recover then and it's only been three years since this one ended. The economy was starting to recover nicely in 2010 until the Republican's shifted the focus to debt and austerity. It's the Republican's plan that will follow Europe down the road to a double-dip recession and kill what little recovery we still have.

    Talk to all of those people who are out of work. The DOW is not coming up as fast as real inflation.

    Yeah--you can bet this is going to turn into a Romney campaign ad--

    But let's give Obama a little credit--his plan did work for China and Finland.

    The Investigative Reporting Workshop reported this story in coordination with ABC's World News Tonight with Diane Sawyer and the Watchdog Institute, a non-profit investigative journalism group based at San Diego State University.

    Money from the 2009 stimulus bill to help support the renewable energy industry continues to flow overseas, despite Congressional criticism and calls for change, according to a new analysis of the program by the Investigative Reporting Workshop.

    The Workshop was the first to report last October that more than 80 percent of the first $1 billion in grants to wind energy companies went to foreign firms. Since then, the administration has stopped making announcements of new grants to wind, solar and geothermal companies, but has handed out another $1 billion, bringing the total given out to $2.1 billion and the total that went to companies based overseas to more than 79 percent.

    With the approval of the Obama administration, an electric car company that received a $529 million federal government loan guarantee is assembling its first line of cars in Finland, saying it could not find a facility in the United States capable of doing the work.

    Vice President Joseph Biden heralded the Energy Department’s $529 million loan to the start-up electric car company called Fisker as a bright new path to thousands of American manufacturing jobs. But two years after the loan was announced, the job of assembling the flashy electric Fisker Karma sports car has been outsourced to Finland.

    “There was no contract manufacturer in the U.S. that could actually produce our vehicle,” the company’s founder and namesake told ABC News. “They don’t exist here.” Fisker Automotive, is funded by a venture capital firm whose partners include former Vice President Al Gore.

    According to a Gallop/USA poll--63% of the American population wouldn't agree that Obama's flood the basement economic policies have worked--because they trust Romney more to handle the economy.

    Ah, the good old days of Dice.com
    Within days of Obama's TARP it was reported that 98% of the money apportioned to any IT companys, such as IBM, were going to India.
    Did it take you this long to learn how much of the TARP money went overseas?
    As a global economy advocate can I assume that if Romney did this you wouldn't give a sh!t?

    If any of that were close to being true, you and I would not be having this discussion... unemployment would be below 6%, GDP growth would be 3% or more and Obama would be 10 points or more ahead in the polls.

    I don't dismiss the possibility of either mucking it up anymore than it is at the moment.
