Some analysts believe the White House is still not being realistic, that Obama will be lucky if any real job creation from his recovery effort is seen by the end of the year, let alone the employment explosion he predicts.

Golly gee Mrs. Cleaver, we had no idea.
I wish somebody would have mentioned this before the democrats pushed through a 1000 page spending bill that dwarfed the 8 years of spending by Bush without even reading it.

Oh wait…..there were plenty of warnings that this would not stimulate the economy.

We were called “right wing extremist” for bringing this up though.

Look at these “right wing extremist”:

Obama’s Stimulus Package Will Increase Unemployment

President Obama and the Democrats’ “stimulus” package will increase the unemployment rate. The changes they propose will also make us poorer, with fewer, less productive jobs.

But this can’t be.
Mr. “Enchanted” himself said that spending this money would make everything alright.

Obama told us that we needed this money to keep unemployment at 8%.

Rising Unemployment Rate Undermines Obama’s Goal to Create 3.5M Jobs
The unemployment rate of 8.9 percent already exceeds assumptions made by President Obama’s economic advisers when they pushed for a $787 billion stimulus package that they said would be critical in reviving the slumping economy.

Well that’s not working out to well now that we are at an even higher rate of 9.4%.

Got to be Bush’s fault!!!

Hope the press does not look into these numbers to carefully,it might just look worse:

Temp work helps mask joblessness among Americans

But consider these numbers:
_

The 8.9 percent April unemployment rate was based on 13.7 million Americans out of work. But that number doesn’t include discouraged workers or people who gave up looking for work after four weeks. Add those 700,000 people, and the unemployment rate would be 9.3 percent.

_

The official rate also doesn’t include “marginally attached workers,” or people who have looked for work in the past year but stopped searching in the past month because of barriers to employment such as child care, poor health or lack of transportation. Add those 1.4 million people, and the unemployment rate would be 10.1 percent.

_

The official rate also doesn’t include “involuntary part-time workers,” or the 2 million people like Noel who took a part-time job because that’s all they could get, plus those whose work hours dropped below the full-time level. Once those 9 million workers are added to the unemployment mix, the rate would be 15.8 percent.

All told, nearly 25 million Americans were either unemployed, underemployed or had given up looking for a job in April.

Don’t pay attention to any of these distractions.
Did everyone see how “enchanted” Obama looked taking the wife out for dinner and a play in NY at over $100,000 pop to the tax payer or catch him walking on the water of the Seine
this weekend before the wife went off shopping during the “worst economy since the Great Depression”.
Wonder if she bought another $500 pair of shoes?

It is just so hard to believe that Obama was not warned that this would not work.
Especially when even his own top economic advisor said it probably would not create jobs:

Top Obama Economic Adviser Admits Stimulus Bill Might not Create Jobs
2009 February 4

by Mr Pink Eyes

The great secret about President Obama’s stimulus bill is that it is not a stimulus bill. With only 12 cents on the dollar going to actual stimulating projects this bill is actually the biggest spending bill ever proposed in congress. And people wonder why Democrats are called tax and spend liberals. A close look at this bill is justification of that label.

Now that has changed again because according to this article President Obama’s top economic adviser is admitting that there is “considerable uncertainty” in regards to any of Obama’s claims of job creation. And this is coming from the woman who created that number in the first place.

It should be understood that all of the estimates presented in this memo are subject to significant margins of error,” they said. “There is the obvious uncertainty that comes from modeling a hypothetical package rather than the final legislation passed by the Congress. But, there is the more fundamental uncertainty that comes with any estimate of the effects of a program. Our estimates of economic relationships and rules of thumb are derived from historical experience and so will not apply exactly in any given episode. Furthermore, the uncertainty is surely higher than normal now because the current recession is unusual both in its fundamental causes and its severity.

What happened to all of that “pragmatism” the press is always bragging about Obama possessing.

This country sure could have used Obama changing his position on this bogus spending bill before he helped drown our future in trillions of dollars in debt for years to come.
