I've Invented a New Game

I've invented a game where first you take what Pres. Obama wrote about the dire consequences without his stimulus:

And if nothing is done, this recession might linger for years. Our economy will lose 5 million more jobs. Unemployment will approach double digits.

Then you switch it around so that he's talking about what did happen with the stimulus:

And if [we pass my stimulus], this recession might linger for years. Our economy will lose 5 million jobs. Unemployment will approach double digits.

And suddenly he's a prophet!

Jon Stewart invented a similar game a few years back, one about Bush's justifications for invading Iraq. For some reason he isn't up for making up similar games with a Democrat in the White House.

Its time to think about a candidate who can get the support of conservatives and independents to beat OBama in 2012. Enough already !!! Expand on success in NJ and Va.
