President claims GOP wants to do nothing?

How many times in President Barack Obama's first press conference as President did he defend the stimulus bill by saying that the near unanimous Republican opposition is due to their desire to "do nothing"?
The McCain Plan is not "nothing" and it is only one of several GOP plans.
Obama resorts to The Big Lie
I lost count of recitations of the big lie tonight, just as I lost count of the big lies over the last 40 years of all the times that Democrats told Americans that Republicans, if elected, would starve the elderly and the poor and that black churches would burn.
The first question of the night was devastating:
Question: Thank you, Mr. President. Earlier today in Indiana, you said something striking. You said that this nation could end up in a crisis without action that we would be unable to reverse.
Can you talk about what you know or what you're hearing that would lead you to say that our recession might be permanent when others in our history have not? And do you think that you risk losing some credibility or even talking down the economy by using dire language like that?
Unable to reverse? The United States of America?
He spoke for over ten minutes before calling on the next reporter for question number two, but never answered the question.
A president of the United States got called out as the anti-FDR, anti-George Washington and even the anti-Abraham Lincoln. He must have realized immediately, when an AP reporter dared to commit the greatest slander one can commit against a Democrat by accurately quoting them that, he was, at that moment, Jimmy Malaise Carter II.
Ten minutes of yak yak followed. He hoped that so long an answer would make us all forget the question.
Not a chance at the Examiner
The President was called out on his "The Only Thing We Don't Have to Fear is Obama Himself?" fear-mongering routine of the past ten days, and probably realized how insulting it sounded to many of his voters when hearing it repeated from the lips of the usually friendly Associated Press in public.
So he rambled for ten minutes plus.
Its hard to be a liberal Democrat. One simply can't say what one actually believes and maintain credibility with the American public. So one has to ramble for ten minutes and say nothing or forever repeat big lies.
The GOP has not advocated doing nothing, but if the only two choices were this 25%+ GovernmentGrowthulus bill and nothing, then sign me up for the latter. In fact, the GOP has advocated doing exactly what has actually worked in the past to end recessions in the 1920s, 1960s, 1980s and 2000s, i.e. tax cuts, and especially those for them that actually create jobs.
President Obama says he wants to create jobs, right? But, it seems that the only ones he wants to create or "save" are those held by state and federal government workers that we have to be taxed in perpetuity to maintain.
But our President uttered The Big Lie numerous times that the only choice other than Pelosi's bill is doing nothing.
Do Democrats care about the poor?
For decades, the national Democratic Party has regularly rolled out the Big Lie that Republicans don't care about the poor or the unemployed. Yet, the Democrats repeatedly advance proven failed policies and the GOP advocates for the very policies that have better helped poorer and lower income workers.
This lesson was taught in spades in the 1960s, 1980s and early 2000s. The President seems not to know this history and then compounds the problem by alleging that tax cuts for the rich caused the present crisis when it is patently obvious that the liberal Democrat policies at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac caused the housing bubble by forcing lenders to take mortgages from borrowers that could not afford them and then guaranteeing the mortgages with taxpayer dollars.
The evidence suggests that Democrats don't care about the poor, and that is
The Big Truth.
