it would have been much better to let the Bush tax cuts expire and send that revenue to state and local governments who have been shedding jobs.

Granted, Republicans would never let that happen, but Obama did not even fight for it. He surrendered on the tax cuts and then he surrendered on the budget and the debt limit.
