Bill McGurn of WSJ observes that President Obama almost never uses the word “stimulus”:

If you search under “speeches and remarks” on the White House Web site, it will tell you that the last time the president used the word “stimulus” in public remarks was in an offhand reference in a speech about clean energy in October. A month before that he used the term once in a speech that was about the stimulus. … Hmm. Old Washington hands might rightly wonder whether there is not some memo circulating in the West Wing informing senior staffers that “stimulus” may have acquired a pejorative meaning to the American public—and that White House personnel ought to avoid the word when talking about new spending.
