Mundelein's Obama stimulus "campaign sign"

On the occasion of finding yet another of those Barack Obama economic stimulus "campaign signs," I'd like to post an excerpt from a column by Steve Huntley in today's Chicago Sun-Times:

In a bit of political irony, the administration of President Obama is turning out to be the mirror image of the White House of President George W. Bush.

Democrats accused Bush of taking his eye off the ball, the war of necessity in Afghanistan, for a war of choice in Iraq. Now Republicans charge Obama took his eye off the ball, the domestic war of necessity to fix the economy, to focus on a war of choice, overhaul of health care. Poll after poll shows voters placing a higher priority on the economy, unemployment and the deficit than on health care. Republicans getting elected governor in Virginia and New Jersey last week proved that. But Obama and Democrats plow ahead with their health-care obsession.

Obama had his mission accomplished moment in February when the White House declared it had prevented unemployment from rising more than 8 percent by getting Congress to pass the $787 billion stimulus bill. After joblessness breached 9 percent, the White House said it had "misread" the economy and so had everyone else. That recalled the Bush administration saying the CIA and all the intelligence agencies of Western nations got it wrong about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.

Unemployment in Illinois, like the rest of the nation, is over 10 percent--the highest level. Mission not accomplished.

This campaign sign can be found on Route 83, just south of Route 176.
