Ah, I see.. A Stimulus that didn't work as I pointed out, And he "reassured the markets how? by throwing Billions more in TARP money? You throw enough money at something and you can reassure just about anything.
He told workers work was coming rebuilding America's infrastructure.
Most of that money goes to Government contractors, how does that help the private sector who's suffering the most?
He promised and delivered billions for" Green Jobs".
Green jobs like counting the bus driver who's been driving the same Bus for over 10 years that runs on Natural Gas? OR Green Jobs that workers once had after their company went bankrupt?
$90 Billion wasted in bankrupt Green companies, Many of which just so happened to donate to his 2008 campaign... hmmm.
But when given hope, they held on, took pay cuts, or went without pay... until the loan, or a work order, came through
Your referring to the private sector, which Obama did nothing to help.. Speaking of pay cuts, How many pay cuts did the Public sector take? Everyone from Federal Government Administrators to State Teachers, What was their pay cut percentage? Or should I ask; What was their pay INCREASE? Private sector take pay cuts and make that sacrifice while Public sector employees REFUSE to, and instead get pay increases and more benefits from collective bargaining.
After he took office he used Executive Orders to lift funding bans a Scientific Research, like Stem Cells, doubled the size of loans the SBA could give out, put forth a Farm Bill, a Jobs Act and so on.
Whatever Jobs act your referring to, it clearly didn't work.. And most of what you mention here amounts to more Government spending, How does is that a positive?
IF its the slowest recovery since the great depression that might be because its the worst recession since the great depression
For your information the recession officially ENDED in June 2009..

Acknowledged by Obama himself on more than one occasion. And did you know the recession ended BEFORE any of the Stimulus money was spent?
RaiderGirl, your unrelenting lies blaming Obama for "5.5 TRILLION dollars of debt" demonstrates an absolute lack of any intellectual honesty, integrity or credibility on the issue.
Lies? NO,No,no. 100% FACT
Anyone can fact check it;
When Bush left office the National Debt was; $10.626 Trillion
National Debt TODAY; $16.222 Trillon
Difference; $5.596 TRILLION,
Another FACT, Bush added $5.2 Trillion dollars to the National Debt in 8 years and fought 2 wars.
Obama added $5.5 Trillion dollars to the national debt in less than 4 years were fighting 1 war.
Take from FactCheck.org: "Obama policies account for just under $1 trillion of the debt added since he took office, while Bush added $5.1 trillion in his eight years — mostly due to tax cuts and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan."
This according to
"Ezra Klein" BLOGGER and columnist for the Washington Post AND contributor to (you guessed it) MSNBC, the Obama Channel.
For anyone to suggest that Obama and a Democratically controlled House and Senate is NOT responsible for the majority of debt incurred in the last 4 years is either 1) A dishonest Liberal or 2) A Liberal Idiot, I assume your both.
And because FactCheck noted this in their article but NEVER made the claim it had any validity, you present it as FACTUAL? It's all about deception with you Liberals isn't it?.. NOT even Obama has made such an asinine claim, and he's made plenty of them in the debates.
What you seem to overlook, maybe by ignorance of how Government works, is the FACT that it's the President's JOB to deliver a balanced budget every year, he didn't do it, NOT once, never even submitted one, So what we have is Trillion dollar + deficits every year.
Did you forget that Democrats had a filibuster proof majority in the House and Senate and could of passed almost anything they wanted to for 2 full years? So why didn't they pass a balanced budget and pass measures to pay down the debt? And because Obama, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi FAILED to, your suggesting Bush is responsible for $4 Trillion?
I don't know who looks more ridiculous, the incompetent boob in the White House or the boobs I see here supporting him with inaccurate information, you and JB in particular.
