Federal records show that $5.97 million from the $787 billion stimulus helped preserve three jobs.

Three jobs? Three?

$5.97 million from the $787 billion stimulus helped preserve three jobs at Burson'Marsteller

That's what--about $2 million per job?

[silverleaf]

3 jobs saved!

Note that the $5.97 million by itself was not sufficient to preserve all three of those jobs. But it did “help”.

All I want to know is did Hillary know anything about this and did she help him get it.

If not then I will go as far as fashioning a new tinfoil hat and theorizing the Obama team pushed for him to get it just for this release today.

His reelection chances are looking worse and worse each passing day, I have to ask myself if he would start backstabbing people this early to take the front runners down now, and the answer is yes.

OMG!! THIS IS THE LAST STRAW!!!!!!!!!!!

WHEN IS THE MARCH ON WASHINGTON????

[Don Corleone]

Rampant CORRUPTION!!! Throw them all OUT!!!

I’m still wondering what happened to the stimulus money that went to those non-existent Congressional districts in Arizona and New Hampshire ...

[ladyvet]

And now the pigs are coming back for more of the money we work for. How much longer? What is it going to take?

[Track9]

This was part of Axelrods debt repayment scheme to get H behind Zero and I highly doubt its the only payoff.

[convertedtoreason]

Last Straw? Common. We’re just barely closing in for the first year of Obamunist Corruptocracy. 3 Years more, sis.

Plus ... haven’t you heard of Stimulus 3.0? Yikes.

Hmmm ... okey ... another Big Tea Party in Washington is not a bad idea, after all.

If Hitlary ad Booba had been held accountable; maybe this would not be happening.

[moose2004]

Very interesting.

[demkicker]

My thoughts exactly! Maybe the rats are starting to turn on each other - I hope and pray.

“Federal records also show that a former adviser to President Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign received nearly $70,000 from that contract to help alert viewers in difficult-to-reach communities that their televisions would soon no longer receive broadcast signals.

The adviser, Alfredo J. Balsera, who heads a public-affairs firm based in Coral Gables, Fla., helped craft Obama’s Hispanic advertising message.

Republicans on Tuesday criticized the federal spending on the advertising project as a waste of taxpayer dollars. They noted that the advertising campaign took place on May 5, only 39 days before the digital television transition was scheduled (June 12)”
