Hey Rocky, Watch Me Pull Two Million Jobs Out of My Hat!
Examiner.com ^ | 01/14/10 | Rob Binsrick

What does a person do when the facts just simply do not support his/her claims? Well, if that person is Barack Obama then he simply changes the facts.

That is exactly what the Obama administration did yesterday when it reported that the stimulus bill has now helped to ‘create or save’ up to 2 million jobs. This information was, of course, from administration’s own analysis. Christina Romer, the chairwoman of the President’s Council of Economic Advisors, described the analysis as “stunning” and stated that the stimulus “has done exactly what we have anticipated it would do.”

Of course, the administration’s figures are in complete contradiction to the figures released by the non-partisan and non-biased Bureau of Labor Statistics, which now shows that the nation has actually lost over 3.4 million jobs since February. Plus, as most people recall, the stimulus was supposed to have kept unemployment under 8%. Given that it is now stands at 10% it is really quite ‘stunning’ indeed that Romer could claim that it has done exactly what was anticipated.

Now comes the funny part...

Most everyone already knows he’s a damned liar.

Why not start calling him what he is and that’s a damned liar. What, you’re afraid someone will call you a racist?

Wow. Read the article. Under cover of darkness, Obama changed the counting rules. Now anybody who got any “stimulus” money is counted as a “job saved” even if the job was not at risk of loss. They even counted people who got pay raises as a “job saved.”

“If you tell the big lie often enough...”

According to the Associated Press, this change in methodology was “ordered quietly last month in a memo to federal agencies.” Apparently this would be another example of that so-called transparency which Obama promised during his presidential campaign.

YOU LIE, obama/soetoro!

Never underestimate the stupidity of a dim.

And also never underestimate the dims ability to underestimate the common sense reasoning of conservatives (and to a lesser degree, independents).

Only rabid 0bamunists even come close to believing the figures he, and his Butt-boy Biden, spout regarding “saved” jobs. And the unemployment numbers released each month are heavily “massaged” and only the tip of the iceberg. Don’t believe ANYTHING this regime says.
