I have to admit that I was surprised by this.
Last night Anderson Cooper stated that the mantra of Romney et al that President Obama said that his stimulus proposal would keep unemployment no higher than or below 8% was false. He stated that several weeks prior to the President's inaugeration that a couple of the President-elect's advisors stated that the stimulus package that they were developing might keep unemployment at or below 8%.
this is true
until the obama admin was forced to cut deals on the stimulus with the GOP to get it passed and thus the stimulus was mostly tax writeoffs
