	The same president who eats dogs, and "may" not even be American? And using numbers that he himself almost certainly doesn't stand by anymore? So Obama made a mistake in his projections. This isn't in any way equivalent to saying that the stimulus didn't help.

So, we have an economic idiot for president. Thank you for that admission.


	Interpolating the data doesn't help convince me of its truth. The point, in case you have still managed to miss it, is that it's impossible to tell from that graph whether the projections failed because the stimulus was too big, or too small (as that socialist agitator, Milton Friedman, To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 2 or greater.

And the stimulus failed. Thank you for that admission.

My job is finished.

Economics on the national scale is very different to the methods of business. The supreme court judges have careers in law. No hustling and huckstering in their backgrounds. Why assume there is a correlation between a good businessman and a good president? One could equally assert one must have been a good athlete to be a good president. Perhaps we would have better results if businessmen were barred from running from office. IMHO they are low on moral fibre.

No, Mr Romney is attempting to restrict the office to those of his own ilk. It is no different to the rich insisting the president should be rich also.

Maybe it is just a reaction to the new breed of professional politicians who have no experience in the real world beyond their years as a staffer. Reading political manifestos and studying economic theory does not a President make.

There are worse things for a President than to learn how to make decisions in the real world with real world consequences.

Failed for being too small. Who's the economic idiot then?
