Can Democrats admit that Obama's Stimulant Package failed yet?

To answer your overall question, no they can't admit it cause another stimulous is in the works as we speak. The only thing admitted was by Joe Biden who says they underated how bad the economy really is.

People it has not even been 6 months yet. I think it is too early to tell, but are you all being honest with yourselves? Are you hoping the stimulus package WILL fail to simply prove a point? I certainly hope that is not what I am reading in this discussion. If you are wishing the plan to fail, you are wishing that more Americans will be laid off from their jobs that more Americans will be standing in the unemployment line, that more Americans will be visiting the local food banks and homeless shelters. That is monsterous. For the sake of this country I hope that the FINAL results of the stimulus show that it was successful! For no other reason than I work, live and pay taxes in this country and I want to see people return to the workforce instead of collecting a check from the unemployment line. It is amazing to me that these sects have developed all over the internet, wishing for President Barack Obama's failure. Have you forgotten that you live in these Great United States. You should be praying for his success rather than wishing for his failure. It's really shameful how you are all sitting back waiting for his failure......for nothing more than to say "I told ya" Disgusting.

FDR caused the Great Depression to last over 12 years and democrats hail him as the hero that ended it. His supporters weren't half as rabid as Obama's so I'm willing to bet that if this recession ends in the next 12 to 16 years they'll loudly proclaim that the stimulus ended the recession.

Honestly, I need more time. Their talking point now is that they have slowed the bleeding. This may be the truth. I don't think anyone has the real answer to that. If I see jobless rates continuing to climb through the end of the year I will admit they failed. I see a cycle of in the way the U.S. economy works. Reagan undertaxed and overspent...yes overspent on things like military, considerin the amount of cash the govt was bringing in. Then we overtax, with an unfair tax code, to make up for it. Is Obama ovespending, I'm sure he is, but I still believe it cn turn out for the better. Our great country has been on a bad path for a long time. No, I'm not referring to just Bush, but the whold corrupt system all down the line. Anyone who places the blame on Obama for this must have just got off the bus!

i cant say it has failed yet because where i am from the unemployment rate went down and there are now a lot more jobs out there for people some of the companies that had to lay people off are now calling them back so i can not say that it has failed because here it has not i can't speak for other places i can only speak for here . and the and the plain that he wanted in the first place did not pass and that was messed up because that would of helped every one but no congress mainly the republications said no they cut the bill down a lot then passed it

Let me first say that just mentioning the stimulus package makes my blood boil because I hate it so freaking much. But, to play Devil's Advocate for a moment (maybe I just like making people mad, haha), last time I checked they had barely given out any of the money that was supposed to be given out. So, I think it is too soon to say whether or not it is a failure. I mean, it undoubtedly will be a failure. I have no doubt. But those who are reserving judgment (namely Democrats) probably are doing so PARTLY because it is a little too soon to tell.

It looks like it's failed, but It is bit still early so I think that's why they are not saying the package failed. I did not think it was a good package from the start.

No, I can't and won't admit that the stimulus package failed yet because only about 10% of the funds have even been distributed. Do I think the money should have been dispersed in a more timely fashion? Absolutely! Do I think the stimulus bill was perfect? Not hardly because I'd have liked to have seen more infrastructure spending. However, things are actually starting to noticeably look up even in my state of Pennsylvania which has been hurting bad for a long time. We're not out of the wood - or the recession - yet but there's a light at the end of the tunnel. IF that light turns out to be a train and there's a big train wreck THEN I'll admit it failed. Annie

In carefully choosing the terms in which we measure success, Obama has insulated himself from the stimulus ever being labeled a complete failure. In the phrase "saved or created" he has an ambiguity that is ephemeral. For instance, when he proclaimed that the stimulus had "saved or created at least 150,000 jobs". A claim made at the same time the unemployment rate was hitting the 9.4% he promised it never would if we passed the stimulus. This terminology is brilliant in that no one can count a saved job. No governmental branch counts jobs saved. It's a concept, jobs that might have been lost but now have not been. So to promise to "save or create" three or four million jobs in two years, can never be called unfulfilled. He can come back and say hey, we didn't create as many new jobs as we'd like, but look, we saved a bunch of them. Jobs saved is a fictional concept, it has no measure. The stimulus will never be admitted to have been a failure, as long as the right terminology is in place.

NO, it is way to early to say this hasn't worked. It took the stimulas package during Clinton's presidency a few years, but the we had the longest period of growth in our nations history. Everything takes time, it took Bush eight years to screw this country up, it is going to take more than 6 months to fix all of his screw ups.

Perhaps Biden's comment is as close as we will get to them admitting it's failure. They better never consider another wealth transfer package, we are in tremendous debt! Any 'destimulus' package will bring the coming debt crisis on us sooner!

You're an imbecile. If you can't spell, than nobody should have any reason to believe anything you say. So, before you start making unsupportable blanket statements, learn to write well.

when the obama go into the power, do not wish him to solve all of problems of amercian, there are a lot of contridicitions in the amercian, do not put all the presures on him, and solving all of problem need some processdures and some ways that all need some patiences. in fact, the fact is far away from words that is came from the obama, is the exactly fact,but the all of the people can not recieve such this fact, you know that some things that there are some shortcomings of the human beings this problems are not belong to single of amercian, it is concerned to all of world. and all of the people can feel such this impact of such this castrophes in the world,and solving all of problems are not need to individual the amercians' strength, from my view point, the power of amercian is very limited for itselves, you need to know that the fact and actural hopes are not the same things, whatever and however the obama said, he is not all-power man. he is normal people of all of us.all things need the process of development, do not need to wish to speed up to your wish, it is so ideal hope that it is not all fact.
