All of which are true...
So LJ is admitting that Obama was unable to make stimulus large enough even when Dems owned the House.
Just not a good negotiator, can't even get his own party on board. If only the Dems had nominated someone with experience in the Senate, at least a full term like Hilary, but those Dems are just a bunch of misogynists. Choose the inexperienced male community activist over someone with actual experience.

LJ cannot comprehend the stimulus....THE stimulus is QE to the tune of $$$2 Trillion (now at $$85B/month) of FED purchase of junk CDOs.........been going on for two years. Will stop and interest rates will rise quickly which will kill much of the recovery.
Recall THE stimulus that ended DEPRESSION I was WWII..........hummm a massive blowup in Middle East could save the USA....but sheep then would have to put skin in the game (as in blood from home - their homes)......I like it !!!!
Big difference comparing WWII to Obama's WWIII? After WWII our competition Europe and Japan were rebuilding. Now our competition China and India will wait on the sidelines.

Yeah right. If only we invested more in pork projects everything would be great by now!
After investing over $800 BILLION in the stimulus, here is what we got vs. what Obama projected...
Gee, we were supposed to be at 5% unemployment by now. And even without spending over $800 BILLION we would of been at 5.2% by now by doing nothing according to Obama. So what was the point??
If only we had put $1 billion into Solyndra instead of just $500 million, imagine how great Solyndra would of been by now....
This stood out to me in "The Lies of Mitt Romney III":
"we remember the president’s own party had a super majority in both houses for his first two years"
I'm not sure how Romney defines a super majority, but my recollection was that the Dems only had a filibuster-proof majority (including two independents) from the time that Al Franken was finally seated (July 7, 2009) until the point that Teddy Kennedy passed away (August 25, 2009). That's only seven weeks, not two years.
And there was never a supermajority in the House as Romney claims. The balance at the start of the Congress was 257 - 178, which is a Democratic share of only 59 percent, not 67. So again, Romney simply lied. Obama never had a super majority in both Houses, let alone for two years. In the Senate, his super-majority lasted seven weeks
.
Sooo, Fred is still trying to run that "Dems had a supermajority and could have taken over the world" bullsh*t, when he knows that is the same lie it's always been, and ranks right up there with the "Conservative Fantasy History of Civil Rights"....
So, Fred, you keep admitting how you continue to try to use disproven talking points to bolster yet another lame "Conservative revisionist history" ...
I am not saying a super majority, I am saying a majority in the House. Do you dispute that? Or did Pelosi not deserve to be Speaker of the House?
You don't need a super majority to pass bills in the House. Bill Clinton didn't even need a majority to pass bills.
Bill Clinton could do more with a Republican House than Obama could with a Dem House.
