It's the uncertainty, stupid - WSJ: "How trillions in stimulus produced a 1.6% recovery." In fairness to President Obama, the U.S. economy is the largest ship in the worldwide fleet and it doesn't turn on a dime. But it doesn't help when your captain issues so many conflicting and countermanding orders that you don't know which way you're heading.

And we'll never know who took the strawberries!
