Americans not "sold" on stimulus spending...

Forty-five percent (45%) of Americans say the rest of the new government spending authorized in the $787-billion economic stimulus plan should now be canceled.

President Obama on Monday vowed to speed up the pace of stimulus spending and said the money will help “create or save” 600,000 more jobs this summer.

However, only 31% of Americans believe the new government spending in the stimulus package creates new jobs. Forty-eight percent (48%) say the stimulus spending does not create jobs, and 21% are not sure.

.....and this one I found especially delightful!

Only 31% of U.S. voters believe the economic stimulus package has helped the economy. That's down from 38% when it first passed in February. For the first time in years, voters now trust Republicans more than Democrats on the handling of the economy.

Americans have begun to see through the snake-oil salesman routine. Say hello to Barack "Jimmy Carter" Obama....Mr. 1-termer.

Tom, your post just shows what idiots many of the American people are. Especially the one about trusting the GOP more than the Dems. I'm not sure either party has a clue as to what should be done. I just think it's too soon to call Obama's plan a failure.

I'm noy saying I like it, I'm just not conviced it won't work.

Bush didn't sell it, McCain interupting his campaign didn't sell it and Obama isn't selling it.

What's a bafoon?

What's a bafoon?

close cousin of the Buffoon, the American Bafoon or conkus regulus is found to inhabit dank corners of the reddest states. Once common all over America, the bafoon was declared extinct in the northeastern US in 2008, and an endangered species in the midwest and pacific coast regions. The species continues to thrive in the deep south and largely abandoned plains states, however it's days as viable national species appear to be at an end.

Notable bafoons photographed in the wild:

The Alaskan Bafoon - a subspecies noted for it's inability to pronounce the 'g' at the end of words, it's mastery of snow machines, and the unusually frequent mating of it's young.


The Utah Bafoon - recently captured and now on display at the National Zoo in Beijing.


The Desert Bafoon - recently banished to obscurity by other bafoons noted for it's advanced age and pronounced scowl


Darth Bafoon - similar to the Desert Bafoon in it's propensity to scowl, the Darth Bafoon is best known for it's love of dank pits and willingness to assault other bafoons while stalking quail.


The Lone Star Bafoon - noted for it's pronounced desire to secede from the other bafoons.


Palmetto Bafoon - noted for refusing outside attempts to help it when in distress


Cajun Bafoon - noted for making an ass of itself whenever others are watching


North Star Bafoon - noted for "hockey mullet" mane, and pathological use of the word "no" - last seen dismantling its habitat and pasting pictures of Alabama everywhere

It's not too soon to call Obama's historically corrupt patronage plan a dismal failure, but I share your disdain for both political parties.

I agree, I like to appreciate good political smack.

No $h!t, Appy! I am genuinely p!$$ed at Bush and most of the previous Republican Congress for their support of overspending, TARP, large government, inept political handling of the war, illegal immigration and, among other failures, being INARTICULATE!

AS well you should be....I'm pissed off at them for ruining the "conservative" moniker for a couple of election cycles to come....they were no more conservative in practice than democrats....fokkers...
