Wish it were so. But even the Obama team admits it's been a failure, which is why they're talking about the need for another stimulus plan in the next few months.

Yes and no. They want another stimulus because the economy is doing worse than what they thought. You could of course blame them for not getting things right in the first place, but now that everyone is admitting that the economy is doing worse and that the stimulus is insufficient, the obvious thing to do now would be to spend more/lower taxes to reactivate the economy.
