And before we have the usual Obama water carriers chime in with it's Bushes fault, Obama has had four months to impact the economy with his stimulus and it continues to tumble. We are now far exceeding the expectations of unemployment that Obama predicted if we didn't borrow all that money from our children.

Actually, the stimulus began with Bush and his stimulus checks, remember? Basically, an ecomomics expert interviewed by KNX news radio stated it will not be until the third or fourth quarter that any significant impact of the stimulus program will begin to make its appearance in the economy.(Of course, I'm sure we'd be better under a Palin McCain Administration :S )
If the stimulus fails, I may very well blame Obama and reconsider who to vote for the next time around, unlike those who simply march in lockstep with whatever way their Republican "leadership" tells them to go...

In Atlanta, they used stimulus money to put mile marker signs up every tenth of a mile around the perimeter. So, if we break down at mile 141.1, we can let GDOT know more precisely. Vital stuff... :S
