CBS News: An early progress report on President Barack Obama's economic recovery plan overstates by thousands the number of jobs created or saved through the stimulus program, a mistake that White House officials promise will be corrected in future reports.

Was it exaggerated as much as the number of people at the Teabaggin’ Party in D.C. last month? How many people were there again? Like 4 billion or something?

GOP = Gay Old Party   October 30th, 2009 - 11:55 am

I mean, who’s for saving and creating jobs anyway? This is great news! Less people than we thought actually have jobs!! Woohoo! A victory for the GOP!! Yay!!!

thegatekeeper   October 30th, 2009 - 12:05 pm

Isn’t it crazy that by repeating “created or saved” enough it becomes the norm ! An acceptable yardstick. It’s all nonsense. Or saved means absolutely ……….. NOTHING !!

Eddie   October 30th, 2009 - 12:06 pm

What??? Exagerate and actually LIE? No way Jose. Those Dems don’t lie about anything. Well, maybe every once in a while….

GOP = Gay Old Party   October 30th, 2009 - 12:09 pm

As you can see, my trolling posts are more stupid and desperate as time passes. And the only truthful part about my post is that I am very gay. However I am a true liberal, meaning that I lie every time I open my drooling lie hole.

The liberal press under-reported the conservative march on Washington DC by about 1000 percent. So the liberal press over reporting the fine state of the economy will come as no surprise. Since they are in bed with Obama they have managed to let Obama let unemployment double under his reign and still find it hard to say anything negative about him. In fact, nothing has gotten better since Obama took over. And all the key measurements have gotten considerably worse.

CBO Puts House Health Bill Total Cost At $1.055 Trillion

By Martin Vaughan, Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES

WASHINGTON -(Dow Jones)- The Congressional Budget Office said Thursday a U.S. House health-care system re-write would extend health insurance to 96% of the nonelderly U.S. population by 2019, and spend $1.055 trillion to do so.
—————————————————————————————————————————-
This CBO report is on drudge. Does this mean that the CBO is not counting the elderly in on the final cost? It just seems funny the way they wrote it? We still have to pay to cover them right? Thought maybe someone could help me out here.

Yea just because you got your job between obamas legs. FAG old party!

What did you liberals expect? Lies are all you have, you constantly play the blame game, your lack of common sense is staggering, and you have no intellectual integrity. Your messiah is a twit that is bent on destr0ying America. Even ole Katy couric looked like she was going to throw up at having to be honest about the failure of this pathetic administration. Have a nice day.

kmichaels   October 30th, 2009 - 12:27 pm

It is kind of funny that the real gay party has so many gay trolls going around calling others gay. Is this supposed to make people think that liberals are no longer the gay perverted nambla supporters that they are? Heck, you Roman Polanski lovers and you Gore Gay Vidal lovers are looking more perverted lately, not less perverted. So you idiot Kevin Jennings, Milk, Jim Jones, Van Jones, Nambla, Harry Hay loving liberals are still known as the perverted party and you always will be. No matter how many trolls you hire to spew your venom.

Declaration of Independence: 2 Pages, 596 words Healthcare Bill: 1990 pages and about 400000 words Nancy should stick with the 2 pages first

Cowboy Diplomat   October 30th, 2009 - 12:43 pm

Every American who spends at least 5 minutes a day outside the home knows the government is lying about the Stimulus effect on the economy. Thanks for documenting what we already know, if for no other reason, just to make the liars squirm.

Why can’t it be the abortion industry loose their workers? Because The Democrats subsidize them….that’s why.

Or why can’t the Radical ACORN…or Stein’s SEIU…..he’s a Communist btw…loose workers?….Because The DEMs subsidize them that’s why.

Why can’t te Unions loose workers?….Because the Dems subsidize them…that’s why.

Why can’t ALL the radical Hispanic immigration groups loose workers? Because the Dems subsidize them…that’s why.

And it goes on and on…Obama has lied about everything he has ever said…His…background…His relationship with Bill Ayers…Rev Wright…ACORN….SEIU…No College records are available….he won’t release anything about his long time Marxist mentors….He lied about Earmarks not being in a bill…There were 9000!

He lied about abortion not being covered in their Socialist health Care Bills…it does cover them..

He lied about illegals getting covered.

He lied when he called America as a “No Longer a Christian Country”

He lied about Van Jones…Valerie Jarrett…and all his Marxist/Maoist ..Atheists Czars.

He lied about winning in Afghanistan.

He lied about his four time votes to deny medioacl help to babies who survived induced abortions.

He lied when he took and oath to uphold and defend the Constituion.

He lied about being a Christian who follows Christ.

So….them lying about jobs being saved etc….is an easy one for this Lying Marxist /Atheist Messaih Obama.

STAND UP…RESIST….REJECT THEIR GODLESS WAYS….SPREAD THE TRUTH….VOTE ALL DEMOCRATS OUT IN 2010 AND THEIR LYING MESSAIH AND ALL HIS CREEPY ATHEIST FRIENDS OUT IN 2012.

Report: Obama is more qualified than GWB was exaggerated.

Calvin Broadus   October 30th, 2009 - 1:28 pm

Didn’t they make up economic numbers in the book “1984″ too?

I just can’t believe 50% of America supports this tyrant.

GOP = Gay Old Party   October 30th, 2009 - 1:35 pm

Calvin Douchebag – 56%, actually. And how many support the GOP? What, 8% I think it is? Right. Where’s your beloved GOP’s healthcare plan? Oh right, they don’t have one. Right.

doogle   October 30th, 2009 - 1:44 pm

Whoops! Hope they weren’t counting these as “saved” jobs. Typical Dimwitacrats.

House Committee on Standards of Official Conduct — also known as the Ethics committee — it was investigating two California Democrats — Reps. Maxine Waters and Laura Richardson…

This was from Ronald Reagan’s 196 Time for Choosing Speech. Just a snip that illustrates government stimulus job creation:
“We’re spending 45 billion dollars on welfare. Now do a little arithmetic, and you’ll find that if we divided the 45 billion dollars up equally among those 9 million poor families, we’d be able to give each family 4,600 dollars a year. And this added to their present income should eliminate poverty. Direct aid to the poor, however, is only running about 600 dollars per family. It would seem that someplace there must be some overhead.”

That’s the point. You put a dollar into the government for it to “help the poor”, and only 25 cents goes to “help the poor”. Because of these incredibly inefficient government jobs, the taxpayer is getting boned!

To G@y Old Party, government programs steal money from taxpayers and lose 75% of it’s value through government inefficiency. Now even a sheep f***ing, sister f***ing hillbilly redneck liberal with limited math skills can recognize that, right?

Some economists put actual unemployment at near 20%. I don’t think unemployment went beyond 25% during the Great Depression. The way these liberal lawmakers are spending money and expelling meaningless gasses and utterances will continue to confound the public until even elections will not satisfy our thirst for change

Pat   October 31st, 2009 - 7:25 am

I love this troll here that makes no sense. The GOP doesn’t have a health care plan? Sure, since you made that lie, I’ll just go ahead and ignore your troll attempts.
