Now that the election is over and you conservatives are all "getting used to it," you might find the following book interesting. It is called The New New Deal" and is by Michael Grunwald.
From the dust jacket:
"The stimulus has launched a transition to a clean-energy, doubled our renewable power, and financed unprecedented investments in energy efficiency, a smarter grid, electric cars, advanced biofuels and green manufacturing. It is computerizing America's pen-and-paper medical system. Its Race to the Top is the boldest education reform in U.S. history. It has put in place the biggest middle-class tax cuts in a generation, the largest research investments ever, and the most extensive infrastructure investments since Eisenhower's interstate highway system. It includes the largest expansion of antipoverty programs since The Great Society, lifting millions of Americans above the poverty line, reducing homelessness, , and modernizing unemployment insurance. Like the first New Deal, Obama's stimulus has created legacies that last: the world's largest wind and solar projects, a new battery industry, a fledgling high-speed rail network, and the World's highest speed Internet network."

LOL!! And you really do believe that? I think you wasted your money on a book that is trying the promote socialism, but then you already knew that.
A socialist is someone with an open mind to everything that is socialism.

One would think that if even a few of those glowing results from the stimulus, as listed on the dust jacket, were true, they would be self evident. I travel about frequently and have seen little evidence of positive results from the stimulus.
It seems the book may have been written for the loyal fans who still feel that tingle up their thighs when discussing Obama. Anyway, now that Barack desires a new stimulus of billions of dollars, imagine the amazing accomplishments that will be listed in the sequel. 8-)
