I just wanted to point out how wrong Christina Romer (now chair of the Council of Economic Advisors) was in early January when she was selling the stimulus package. It would result in a jobless rate that would not hit 8.0% at all. Maybe we should have spent more money on a larger stimulus Look:

Maine voters rejected gay marriage yesterday. Obama has said that his position consists in letting each invidivual state decide in regard to this issue. And he did exactly that. He let Maine voters decide. But AP reports that national gay activists are blaming Obama and TV ads.
That makes no sense to me. They should go read the campaign promise list.I say keep fighting, but don't distort reality.
