Of course, at some point, it will be pointed out that not much of the stimulus money has been spent yet, so that is why more jobs haven’t been created or “saved”.
My question, “Why the hell not?!”
If the objective was to spend money to create jobs, why, after ten months, haven’t you spent the money? What are you waiting for?
On the other hand, if it was just a big pork bill, then jobs weren’t the focus and no amount of money spent will produce measurable job growth. Keeping government jobs safe doesn’t generate the economic growth needed to jobs in the private sector.
I just loved the part where he reassured everyone that he had created or built 1 million new jobs. Somewhere it seems real math drops off and obamanomics picks up. Its like playing cards with a little kid: every hand wins.
@SouthernRoots: Obama’s National Economic Director Larry Summers said: “You’ll see the effects begin almost immediately.” All those shovel ready jobs remember?
And if you go back and look at Christina Romer’s testimony before Congress she admits that the remaining stimulus spending probably won’t do much to spur job growth.
Obama dismissed all the tried and true Republican solutions for job growth through tax cuts for small business and now we are stuck with this mess.
Time to run this ad again:
Q Mike’s America,
These unemployment numbers are misleading.
The reality is that unemployment numbers published by the Bureau Of Labor Statistics, show 17.5%. This includes the so called marginally attached workers.
Here’s how the bureau defines and includes numbers that the White House and Congress wish to ignore:
…….”NOTE: Marginally attached workers are persons who currently are neither working nor looking for work but indicate that they want and are available for a job and have looked for work sometime in the recent past. Discouraged workers, a subset of the marginally attached, have given a job-market related reason for not looking currently for a job. Persons employed part time for economic reasons are those who want and are available for full-time work but have had to settle for a part-time schedule.”
So, … 17.5% it is. That is the number that any decisions going forward should be based on.
Blame Bush! Obama and his criminal cohorts have been singing that song so long I almost can hear it in my sleep. When is Obama and his criminal cabinet going to start doing their jobs? Thank God I am retired and not caught up in the unemployment ranks. When do we start impeachment proceedings is my next question? It can’t be soon enough.

We must keep things in focus, we elected a Dithering President who lacks the intelligence and courage to take the bar, whose major accomplishment was a Marxist style job called Community Organizing. Oh, he was an accomplished campaigner and excellent reader of teleprompters. He is a war time president, who has no concept of how to lead a nation at war. He has stated that victory is not our goal. Of course a military victory is neutralized if a leader has no idea of how to negotiate or dictate a peace.
If we achieved total victory next week, do you have faith in a Dithering President to conduct peace negotiations with more leadership than he has shown during the war?
Our economy is barely working while the Ditherer, Pelosi, and Reid are scheming to tax us into prosperity. So driven to tax they ignore the fact that every dollar of new tax is dollar taken from a struggling economy that becomes an anchor to slow the economy even more. But people who are enraptured in Marxist Delusion or Collusion see the state as the economic engine rather than free enterprise; yet they fail to see that a compromised economy that is taxed into oblivion will eventually have no free market money to tax. That is when the great engine that drove this Free Market economy slows to a halt and our taxing imbeciles in Washington will be left scratching their heads and butts wondering why the Marxist Economic Principles failed.
Other than not damaging our country beyond Hope, the best that we can Hope for from this dithering moron is that America will learn from this and never, ever elect a dithering incompetent moron again.
American Patriots, it is time to increase the amperage on this dithering nitwit in the White House, we need to increase our efforts to be be more creative and not so worried about fighting the good fight. We must work to discredit this president and his legacy with every keystroke as if our lives depend on it. We have been given a great gift with these keyboards and the internet, Paine, Jefferson, and Adams accomplished unbelievable things with laborious and slow printing presses. We can never duplicate their brilliance, but with effort, we can make a difference. We the voices of many from many different backgrounds must merge our voice and creative abilities with the same resolute determination as our troops in the field. We owe our parents, we owe the founding fathers, we owe the children, and Americans not yet born; to strive to find the truth and present it in a way that will enlighten and inform those who are cerebrally challenged.

Don Surber has a roundup of newspapers that are beginning to question the “jobs saved/created” stats the Obama camp is attempting to pass off. Some of these would be comical if not for the fact that it’s our hard earned dollars being spent and it’s bankrupting our country. Laugh or cry, whatever:

@Missy: Thanks for that roundup Missy. If ~$1,000 for a lawnmower saved 50 jobs then maybe they should spend the entire stimulus package on lawnmowers. We’d have full employment and be begging guys from Mexico to come and work here.
