Misread the Depths of Economic Troubles or Too Arrogant to See?

VP Biden stated this weekend that the Administration "misread" the depth of the economic troubles it inherited…
I find this statement troubling in so many ways. Many experts repeatedly stated the seriousness of the economic problems faced by the new administration and the limited effect the economic stimulus package would have on creating jobs. Yet, the Administration and the democratic congress forced this upon our nation despite the experts saying it wouldn’t do what the Administration was claiming it would. The administration was obviously too focused on their “agenda of change” to listen to these experts and take the correct steps to fix the economy and get people back to work.
The stimulus was supposed to be about jobs, jobs, jobs… And yet…
Biden also said this weekend that the 9.5 percent unemployment rate is "much too high." Nothing like stating the obvious Mr. Vice President, I am sure the millions of Americans without jobs would whole heartedly agree with you. Didn’t the administration pledge to stop unemployment before it reached 8 percent? Another broken promise.
I believe the house minority leader Boehner, R-Ohio, sumed it up pretty well, "The real question is where are the jobs. You can't spend $800 billion of taxpayer money and not create jobs when you say that's what the goal was. We haven't seen the jobs yet."
