Well, Obama has decided "taking on Rush" is the way for him to go, and it is doing a slo-mo blowup in his face. I thought this guy was "smart"? Now, this current $420,000,000,000 is the second six months of the last BUSH BUDGET and should have been about $70,000,000,000 less. Obama's pointing and saying "IT'S BUSH'S, IT'S BUSH'S so pass it NOW! but DON'T BLAME US DEMOCRATS!"
This is not SELLING to the public. AS WAS NOTED, Obama's phony stimulus bill involves only GOVERNMENT and not the only place such spending would work, the private sector. In the end, government jobs "stimulation, as it ends in no new businesses, provide no long term stimulus to our economy.
