Despite a recent downturn, the stock market is well above its bottom-out point on March 9.

Yes, unemployment is increasing, but the rate of increase is slowing. Not exactly good news, but analysts predict a slow turnaround.

  But the stimulus was going to cause unemployment to top out below 8%!
  At least that's what Obama told us...

    Right ... but not INSTANTLY!
    
    You praised Bush's atrocious leadership - and lying and law-breaking - for eight years.
    
    But you want to call the stimulus a failure because there are no INSTANTANEOUS results?
    
    Ludicrous ....

      umm...it seems to me that "topping out" means that it wouldn't go higher than that. Ever.
      
      I am really hoping we didn't spend all those trillions just to hold steady at 8% unemployment.

      "Right ... but not INSTANTLY!"
      
      No. He said it would not go above 8%.
      
      "You praised Bush's atrocious leadership"
      
      No I didn't. As a matter of fact, the only things that were "atrocious" about the Bush administration was his liberal spending and his weak stance on illegals.
      
      "and lying and law-breaking"
      
      You cannot prove he lied or broke the law. However, Obama is breaking the law by bombing in Pakistan right? Wheres the outrage there?
      
      "But you want to call the stimulus a failure because there are no INSTANTANEOUS results?"
      
      Hardly. I call it a failure because it was. Any body with half a brain could see that spending your way out of a recession that was brought on by spending is a stupid idea. Especially when no one read the bill they signed...
