Because it has been such a resounding . . . err . . . success?
In a speech marking the five-year anniversary of his $831 billion economic stimulus plan, President Barack Obama said on Tuesday that his plan, passed one month into his presidency, succeeded and that his critics were proven wrong and “have had to eat those words.”
Obama also touted his auto bailout and green energy initiatives as major successes.
“Anybody who had dire predictions for the auto industry and said, ‘We couldn’t do it. Manufacturers couldn’t bring jobs back to America.’ Every time they say that, they are proven wrong,” said Obama.
