Obama and the Republicans

HORSLEY: That's right. Even before he took office, President Obama was lobbying hard for Congress to pass a big economic stimulus bill. He promised that $787 billion measure would save or create some three-and-a-half million jobs.

Unfortunately, since this recession began, the economy has lost about twice that many jobs.
