I AM 24 AND IT WAS MY FIRST TIME VOTING. I HONESTLY THOUGHT OBAMA WAS GOING TO MAKE EVERYTHING BETTER AND HELP US OUT BUT HE REALLY LET ME DOWN. I DONT THINK I AM EVER GOING TO VOTE AGAIN. FORGET THE PROJECTS GIVE THE MONEY TO US PEOPLE THAT CANT BUY THERE KIDS CLOTHES OR EVEN AFFORD TO BUY FOOD OR STUFF THAT WE NEED. HOW CAN ANYONE AFFORD TO BUY A CAR UNLESS THEY HAVE ALOT OF MONEY AND ARE RICH...IF THEY HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO BUY A CAR THEN THEY DONT NEED A TAX BREAK ON THE TAXES ON THE CAR DUH...HELP THE PEOPLE THAT ARE IN NEED....YOU REALLY LET ME DOWN AND I WILL NEVER NEVER VOTE AGAIN.
sorry that you got caught up in the hype that was/is obama... dont give up your right to vote though....watch for the next two years, and make an informed decision, not one based on "feelings"....the sad thing about this last election, and for you, your first election, is that there really was not a good "front running" candidate...check into 3rd party candidates....i think they will be gaining ground in the next two to four years.

I think the stimulus plan is a good idea. The only thing I have a problem with is what about the people who are on disability? Why don't we get some kind of check. We don't pay taxes so the people on disability are left out.

I think the President is doing a great job, and we as americans should back his decision, we have been through so much we as the people, and no matter what our religion creed nationality is, we all are still all americans.

Handing out money to anyone (individual or business) for the sake of stimulus is a bad idea all the way around.

The only way to stimulate our economy is to be a country that actually produces something again. We don't make **** anymore in this country, we import it all...hell we don't even service it either, that's done by Rajmanapuranamama "Steve" Jindlishinkinisi and his cronies in Bangladesh. Repeal the **** stuff enacted earlier, like NAFTA, bring back the Glass-Steagle Act, start strapping ourselves in, start making stuff again, BUY IT with money we earn from making it here, and wow! Look at what will happen!

Problem Solved. Meep for President...2012. Change THAT MAKES SENSE!

Profit goes away when the people you need to purchase items don't purchase them because they don't have jobs (aka no money). It is a vicious cycle, of course. As to how to break that cycle, well, I'm not sure how that would happen. Maybe Meep needs to come up with something.

Break the cycle?

1 Drill for as much oil as we can get, along with natural gas.

2 Remove the unions from the auto workers.

3 Create a war with the eco idiot stupid moron dumb freaks and regain our sanity and put up 1000 factories so we can build our own stuff, like stereos, computers and any other thing that might cause global warming.

4 Start work on at least 3 nuke plants, all in California (just in case they blow, all the "blame America first crowd" will be insane from radiation (more sane than they are now)

5 No more special groups tax, all taxed equally.

6 Deport, escort all and ANY illegal entry MEXICAN out of this country.

7 Tariffs on ALL imports (especially food items that we have in the USA already), enough to make it an even playing field against slave wage, if we are supposed to suffer with this global economy BS.

8 Smoking pot made legal to take the money away from the "illegal" drug traffickers, then the law can concentrate on heavy actually bad "drugs", and to concentrate on border crossings.

Do that and things would be happening, no need for a democrat and all the nanny state money, new laws, new agencies, more paper work, all for the same or worse outlook than it's going to be under Obama

I can't believe how people are so ready to give up on a man who hasn't been president for six months while they voted for loser busch twice. He's the one who sucks he is the reason the economy is the way it is. Blame him for the mess Don't expect Obama to be able to fix in one day what it took busch 8 years to destroy. People need to get real change does not happen over night they need to be upset at the mess creator not the oe who has to clean it up!!!!!!

Ya, well, if Bush messed it up, Obama is the final nail in the coffin.

Besides, you had a full democrat congress when bush was in, and then a dem president, what your excuse for Obama now.
