From The New York Times:

Kansas will widen U.S. 69 to remove a bottleneck outside Kansas City, along with a few other expensive projects. Maryland will spend its money in smaller pieces, resurfacing dozens of rutted roads and highways. Colorado will build an interchange on Elk Creek Road in Jefferson County, complete with an underpass for the elk.

There is nothing monumental in President Obama’s plan to revive the economy with a coast-to-coast building spree, no historic New Deal public works. The goal of the stimulus plan was to put people to work quickly, and so states across the country have begun to spend nearly $50 billion on thousands of smaller transportation projects that could employ up to 400,000 people, by the administration’s estimates.

    People need to understand they could have done this with all the other presidents. Obama is a puppet like all previous presidents. Nothing happens without the feds approving it. Everyone acting like this guy is our savior, those bureaucrats at the top LET OBAMA DO THE THINGS HE DOES. Do research people, don’t blindly follow someone cause the color of his skin or the finesse of his words, don’t be sleepwalking sheep no longer. Read a book. Remember that Hitler made good speeches and 90% of Germany elected him to office, but we all saw what happened when they gave a man full power. Don’t let history repeat itself. :/

    Oh.. and the who left/right paradigm is silly. There is no democrat or republican, it’s all put in place to keep your little minds busy. Why do you think we have had segregation and division in every shape and form forever? Keeps us worried about these small minuscule things.

    Dreadtherasta, nuff respect to you but i gotta say if hes a puppet let him be, he’s creating jobs like he said he would thats enough for many people who are hoping to get back to work and make some money to put bread of the table for their families. Another thing is dont try to compair hitler to obama thats just plain wrong. Im trying to understand, ur saying that obama would start putting people in concentration camps? If so thats just wrong. Let the man do his job and from what i remember bush was just much of a puppet too. Just lay back and relax. nuff respect.

    “there is nothing monumental in President Obamas plan”…another jealous and/or bigoted ” journalist. It’s overt negativity. President Obama is doing a great job. The Feds don’t want this Ras…he’s defying them as well. He can only do so much and has done a great deal in such a short time-span.

    Sorry my brothers. Google the New World Order, or the Illuminati or even where Obama gained all his money to even run for president. Need to research where he came from. Bet no one knows of his National Service Bill? Everyone 18-25 will have to get indoctrinated and trained for 3 months minimum. His Zionist chief of staff has been pushing for a universal citizenship his whole life. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wzvni2sbSJE All politicians are the same, don’t think for one second Barack Obama AKA Barry Sotoro (lol fools don’t even know he changed his name to change his image) Research the man. All I ask. And for anyone thinking I am wrong for comparing Obama to Hitler, research who is funding Obama currently and who funded the Nazis? Haha, you’ll be shocked. As well as, research FEMA camps. All the pieces are here, put the picture together.

    Oh and for the guy thinking Obama is defying the Feds doesn’t understand anything about the government system or the Feds lol Everyone has a price, even your Uncle Tom Obama

    there’s always a hypocrite. Always the rain cloud in the parade. Always a bubble buster. We can call him “dreadtherasta”. It’s one thing for you to have some top CIA job and can explore into peoples records and get this information. But this is a man you have never met, never sat down and talked to, don’t know a d4mn thing about and all you can do is think of silly stories to spin about him. Freetime much?

    I get soo sick of hearing about conspiracy theories. At least come up with some cool and so fantastic that it sounds true, for example, Barack Obama is an alien come from what was once the planet Pluto to exact revenge for Pluto’s rank as a planet being taken away. And freaky “Cocoon”-esque events start to happen.

    Not sure how it’s conspiracy theories if the men themselves are talking about it? Did you even watch the link I posted? If you haven’t done your research don’t even comment back. When all of you supporters of Obama defend him, you never use facts because you have none.

    I myself am not sold on him or any other president for that matter. Though I think we all know that white people put him in the position that he is in today and at the end of the day they still run thing’s. Why didn’t he choose a black VP too?

    For each person who feel that the President is not doing any thing. Than you go and be the President and show us you can do better.

    If not STOP TALKING.

    I would not want the job of being president at all. Thus far (with the exception of the plan to send 17,000 troops to Afghanistan) Obama seems to be doing well. However, as dreadtherasta has pointed out, keep your eyes open. There are many things going on that we can’t see. Obama may be the president, but that does not necessarily mean he’s in charge. This country was on the verge of revolution before he was elected…this presidency very well may be another example of “distraction” by our government. I am hoping that this is wrong, but my gut tells me that it’s not….and we will see a change in the near future, but not the change we may have wanted.
