It's truly remarkable that the main-stream press doesn't refute the lie and lie spewed from Republican talking points. Over and over we have heard how Obama's stimulus package made things worse and caused more job losses. It's another Republican lie and the fact that they can just repeat it over and over without any accountability is appalling. Anyway, this chart from the Congressional Budget Office says it all. It clearly portrays the CRISIS that Obama inherited from that war-criminal Bush. Without the stimulus package we would probably be looking at a much higher unemployment rate. The stimulus package that was enacted in early 2009 clearly stemmed the tide and turned the situation around. How Republicans can get away with their lies while the press stays silent is beyond belief!
