Face it Whell, your party of no puts itself ahead of what's good for the country. Every. Time.
...and then Obama admitted there were no "shovel ready jobs" after throwing more money than the GNP of most countries at those jobs. Nice try Bob.

Do you make it up as you go along or do you get these fallacious arguments downloaded straight into your amygdala, Mike?

Whatever. The point being that it is easy to tell when you have or someone you know has been possessed by a reptile from outer space.

What are you accusing me of "making up", Bob? You don't think that Obama admitted that there really were no "shovel ready jobs"? Here, let me help you out:

Or was it the comment about the stimulus being larger than the GDP of some countries? I can help you with that, too, referencing the most recent IMF data:
