Big surprise. Obama said his $800B would stop unemployment at 8%. Didn't work. Now, Krugman breaks the news that it is going higher than the current 10+%. And he's scared shitless his socialist agenda is going to slip away as a result. That the beloved Obama is going to slide into the Carter Abyss.

Uh....Krugman was one of a number of economists who believed that the stimulus bill needed to be much higher and was disappointed when Rs insisted it be the size it was. That is why he doesn't expect considerable job creation.

Remember....at the time, Rs and Obama were talking bipartisanship and then the Rs screwed Obama by refusing to vote for the bill they helped construct.
