The fact that we have spent such a stupid amount of money (i realize Bush started the stimulus, i don't vouch for him either) and we still aren't seeing any sort of significant growth should be able to tell you that what we are doing simply doesn't work. Given that fact, how can you vote for the incumbent?

Unfortunately because of the way the world economy is it's literally impossible for the US economy to boom back like it did from previous recessions.
Many economists, including Stephen Dubner are saying we need to look at sustainability and slow growth rather than booming growth. The golden age of growth is over in the US economy.

David Brooks has also been saying this since the beginning of the recession that we need to get used to slow growth.
The president has very little control over our economy as a whole, he basically just sets the tone for the debates in the house. Both presidential hopefuls are perpetuating the lie that they will fix something they have no control over.
