The president recently spoke at the Bookings Institution, and according to the Financial Times, “Obama unveils second stimulus for jobs.” What was the first stimulus for if not for jobs? (Remember this graph that accompanied the White House’s first stimulus proposal?) However, the idea of a second stimulus does not sit well with the public to put it mildly. Note the results from the latest Rasmussen poll:

–“In fact, 51% of voters say more jobs would be created if the remaining spending planned in the first stimulus plan was cancelled right away.”
