The Obama Administration now says that they knew the Stimulus Bill passed earlier this year was not going to have much effect until late this year and in 2010. Joe Biden and several Democrat spinners are saying that on TV. Biden says that the problem is that the economy was in much worse shape than they realized. Two thoughts come to my mind. First, has it ever occurred to the Obama Administration that they may have made the economy worse with their actions. (I am cynical enough to think that they knew that their actions would make things worse, but they planned to blame Bush.) The second thing is, do they think people will not recall what was being said as they passed their fake Stimulus Bill? Those comments included the Administration saying that it was imperative that the Bill be passed immediately before anyone had time to read it because the economy was in such bad shape and would collapse if the bill was not immediately passed. (Obviously they were lying then since they now say that they thought the economy wasn't in bad enough shape to need a real stimulus then.) Then there were the Republicans pointing out that the money would not be spent immediately, but Democrats said that there were lots of "shovel ready" projects. It turns out that the Democrats were lying about the whole thing. The Stimulus Bill truly was a payoff to Democrat supporters and never was truly a "Stimulus Bill." The Democrats planned to have the money kick in to stimulate things in time to help them in the 2010 elections. They're assumption is that the people won't remember their distortions and lies, and will accept their argument that everything bad is the fault of Bush.
