Will a second economic stimulus revive Obama's campaign?

Oh, and the Republicans are looking out for you... riiiight. Makes me wonder why big corporations and the ultra-wealthy are almost exclusively in the Republican tent.

Ummmmm...Mike, how many of the Hollywood ultra-wealty are you counting in that number? Seems to me they're all huddled in the Dems camp - just like their pop culture icon candidate.

THEY EVEN TAX YOUR UNEMPLOYMENT CHECK NOW... =(

Anyone running for any office who supports another stimulus check will not get my vote. It did nothing to improve the economy it just put the country in more debt. Start looking for other ways to cut gov. spending and lower taxes and fuel. For a lot less money the gov. could have suspended the with-holding income tax for one week and it would have saved the cost of mailing us a letter saying we were getting it and another letter telling us we were getting it or suspend the gas tax for a week. Bet I could come up with some more ideas if I took the time!!! but why bother our gov. doesn't listen to the people.

No more stimulus check, is americans
gone nuts. we have so much that we
owe others we will never get out of it.
Why would any American want cash that
we have to get from China for our stimulus check. Get real people.
I did not take the first check either it was
wrong than and it will be wrong now.

You know what they say money talks ande BS walks. This campaign is getting stupid. More money to the people...please. Just vote for the candidate that will do the best job. Whoever that may be...

Wow. The Republicans are up in arms because the Dems might issue a stimulus rebate? Bribing people for their votes? That couldn't happen in America. In fact, it's not happened since 2001 when Bushie sent everyone $400 as a thank you for electing him. Of course, he's more than used up that favor with his lies and war for oil.

All this time I thought it was illegal to buy votes. And to think it only takes fifty billion dollars to buy the White House.

wow! If people lived within their means instead of always thinking they need more stuff, or they need nicer things they wouldn't be in personla debt. I think change starts from the bottom....not the top. People have to be willing to change not accepting handouts and feeling entitled! LAZY LAZY LAZY!

So lets try and be informed.

1) The President has very little influence on the ecconomy at large...ask any professional ecconomist.

2) Both Sen. McCain's AND Sen. Obama's ecconomic plans with extend the debt by trillions of dollars.

3) Sen. Obama is not going to cut taxes for 95% of Americans.

Please, everyone use factcheck.org and get NON-PARTISAN info there instead of just lapping up whatever your favored party or canidate says. Do your own research and be an informed voter, not an influenced voter.

I say, let's give Obama a chance. Trust me, it won't be as bad as the others who have come before him. Whoever gets chosen, they will have one hell of a 'clean up' to do.

For a congress that has touted 'Bush failed policies' for 2 years, it stuns me to think, they want to use the same policies, at election time, as something good that they want credit for. It's nothing more than a media ploy like the impeachment hearings.....for an election.

I feel that McCain patronized us by selecting a "young" woman. I understand that Obama countered his lack of experience with an experienced VP, and I fully expected McCain to pick someone younger.....but I don't feel his choice of a woman was sincere. It was strategy, and I hope it doesn't work.

I have to laugh every time I hear someone
talk about the Republicans spending all this money in Congress. The Democrats
were complicit in all this spending. They
just don't get the blame for it.
By the way, where have all the Democrats
been for the last two years when they had
total control of Congress?

If I pay $10,000.00 in taxes and get a 2% tax cut, I get A $200.00 cut, and if I pay $100,000.00 in taxes and get a 2% tax cut i get $2,000.00 cut Why is that not fair? Sure I get more money, but I also pay more, the tax cuts are for the rich, that is only a democrat talking point, with no merrit.

Sounds like a waste of money to me. The last one didnt work for long same thing will happen again. Obama is loseing ground and he knows it, this man will tell people what they want to hear just for votes. Dont trust him hes a snake oil salesman.

Well with the talk of another stimulas pkg people are starting to focus in on the economy and the next step in to consider who will do the best job in getting the economy back on track.
I just read where there is oil to be drilled in ND - will that help the economy?

This is one voter not focused on Palin. She represents herself not American Mothers. If she were any minority and tried to run with the problems she has people would laugh her off the stage. She is in no position to preach to the choir.

wow...another check that 2/3 of the public will not get....mmmm wonder who is going to benefit from the checks this time. I know it will not be me because I was far down on the poverty level to receive one.

Those of you who constantly blame the jobs going overseas on the Republicans seem to forget that it was "Slick Willy" (Bill Clinton) that signed NAFTA Sending jobs overseas.

Obama will make this country socialistic, not what I want for me or my grandchildren.

It seems like yesterday AOL had McCain winning now today he's catching up. I wish AOL would get it right. Seems to me they lean alot to the right.
