I don't see much support as yet for Obama's jobs programs. As a marker here many of us somewhat libertarian folks supported Obama on his stimulus programs (as an experiment on Keynesian economics even though we were skeptical), but in the final analysis it appeared that he let the non-blue dog democrats rule (i.e., Reid & Pelosi so in the last election they managed to lose the more conservative blue dog democrats due to their obstinence)..... So there was really no good test of Keynesian economics...which to me is unfortunate 'cause I would like to see really good tests of each philosophy/approach and then a good discussion on the pros/cons of it.

So many don't trust him any more. I hate to say it because I always tried to see the best in Bush Jr (which was severely misguided) and also in O'bama (which seems misguided but not as bad Bush since he adhered to no known GOP thinking on anything..). So O'bama in some respects seems better...but still not my cup of tea since he really never pursued his philosophy's to their their logical outcome (he just let Reid/Pelosi dictate the final result (which to me was a really bad idea). .

Pardon my misspeliings here, but thought this post interesting to respond to despite how tired I am at the time. Mike
