When is the media going to start calling a spade a spade?
The obummer white house is telling nothing but lies.
Yet they sit there and gobble them up.
Sooner or later they have to get tired of his lies.

Oh man, I can’t believe this! They casually claim non-existent jobs in non-existent districts, and think no one will notice?!? The Obama administration has moved beyond parody. What could the Onion do that would go farther than this?

We need to apologize to Obama because statistics were shown for only 50 of the 57 states. Here are the accurate and honest figures for jobs saved/created by the Stimulus in the missing 7 states.

1 State of Total Disbelief 900,000
2 State of Utter Dismay 850,000
3 State of Disingenuous Ambiguity 800,000
4 State of Treachery 750,000
5 State of Deceit 700,000
6 State of Paranoid Delusion 650,000
7 State of Imaginary Fantasy 600,000

See? YOU WERE ALL WRONG AND OBAMA WAS RIGHT!

The 57 states is all wrong. He clearly states he has been to 57 states with one to go and his staff will not let him go to Alaska and Hawaii. 57+1+2=60. He clearly thinks there are 60 states. Maybe he believes the 10 Canadian provinces are part of the US. That means canopfor can vote in the midterms.

I’m certain that Venezuela and Cuba are among the states somewhere.

The one scam that really appealed to me is liars in WI and TN concluded that using stimulus money to give RAISES to local government workers (remember the recession?) equated to saving jobs.

Now, these savants didn’t coordinate on this bright idea, I have to bet my firstborn on that. The common contact between them has to be some bright little uber liar working in the WH.

Truly, Obama cannot abide with the idea he might fail at something, make a bad decision. If the data doesn’t show what he needs, make it up.

We have, with all of his other issues, a total fakir at the helm. No wonder he hides his transcripts.

In San Diego that makes 1/10 of a job…or about 4 hours a week, 48 minutes a day they have put someone to work.
A billion dollars just doesn’t go as far as it used to…

In my haste to post my comment, I didn’t read any of the above comments so if this has been said, so what, it needs to be said again!
It’s all well and good to post this info but what is being done about this. Is this just your average govt. incompetence or is this your average govt. fraud and theft.
Some people need to go down for this.Could any of us keep our jobs if this was our performance. No! We would end up in jail! What can we do?

I was skeptical that the site claimed an 86th congressional district for Arizona, since Arizona only has 8 districts. (I remember when it only had two). So I went to do an inquiry, and yes, it listed several others.
Not only are these not congressional districts, but they aren’t even state legislative districts, because Arizona has only 30 of those. There are 14 congressional districts which do not exist, and 8 of those don’t exist even as state legislative districts. The breakdown by congressional districts, at least, is worthless.
Utah only has three congressional districts, but the 00th, 4th, 23rd, and 68th are listed as receiving money. That one is worthless, too.
I looked over the list of recipients in Utah. Most of the names appear to be legitimate entities, but that doesn’t say anything about whether the projects they are recieving money for are legitimate.
I haven’t checked the addition to see whether the numbers add up to the totals, but given that whoever broke the numbers down by congressional district was evidently an incompetent dweeb, it would not suprise me very much to learn that they don’t.
Can the AP assign a fact checker who knows how to run a spreadsheet, or a calculator, or even pencil-and-paper addition to the site?

Maybe I’m an idiot and things have changed in the real world, like everyone is crazy. But why is it nobody is calling them out on this? Like maybe some of those Republicans in the house and senate? Can you imagine the crap they are going to pull once they force us to take their heath plan, the lies they are going to spin? All of a sudden everything is one big lie. It’s a continual spew of shit from the WH every day now. I think the next time the President gives a speech everyone should stand up and say LIAR! If anything, Nancy Pisslosi’s head will pop off, and that will be so worth it.

Whoever said the stimulus was designed to produce jobs. Jobs were just a farce to get it passed.

The plan is to destroy jobs so that cities are begging for jobs they wouldn’t have otherwise agreed to take—such as housing Gitmo inmates.

Stupid is as stupid does.
