With all of the controversy surrounding the President of the United States, I hearkened back to the earlier days of the Obama Administration. Back then, when missteps by the President had not become so serious or so ubiquitous, I wrote a little ditty about Obama's first "stimulus" program ... which turned out to be less than stimulating . As President Obama ultimately conceded (making a wholly inappropriate joke about the $800 billion that many economists maintain was wasted): "Shovel ready was not as shovel-ready as we expected."
