Overall, I agree with you that its a mediocre plan, and was something that was rushed through and not executed well. I think that the polls that I've seen show that American's for the most part really don't like it very much. Its probably not something thats going to win him the next election.

With its main intent being the creation of jobs its pretty much failed as unemployment in the private sector increased. It did create government jobs especially in hand and hand with the census. On the bailout side Obama came across very weak as he didn't set conditions on the bailouts and companies that did receive dollars were still paying out large bonuses while laying off workers.

I'm fine with this, however there are still questions on the effectiveness of this combined with the bailouts that were given and how they were used.

This is good, but to me its a more like a topless chick hammering on a keyboard screaming that she's helping. Your really distracted by the boobies.
This is a boobie issue.
