Stimulus jobs overstated by thousands

[cwo_ghwebb]

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. The government's first accounting of jobs tied to the $787 billion stimulus program claimed more than 30,000 positions paid for with recovery money. But that figure is overstated by least 5,000 jobs, according to an Associated Press review of a sample of stimulus contracts.

White House Blasts AP for Story Alleging Gov't Overstated Stimulus Jobs 'by Thousands'


The Obama administration on Thursday slammed a report from The Associated Press alleging the government had overstated by thousands the number of jobs it has created or saved with federal contracts under President Obama's $787 billion recovery program.

The White House seized on an initial report from a government oversight board weeks ago that claimed federal contracts awarded to businesses under the recovery plan already had helped pay for more than 30,000 jobs. The administration said the number was evidence that the stimulus program had exceeded early expectations toward reaching the president's promise of creating or saving 3.5 million jobs by the end of next year.

30K jobs in nine and a half months! The Messiah wants to save 3.5million jobs by when??????

This administration seems a bit thin skinned when someone points out THEIR POLICIES AREN"T WORKING! Socialist policies have never worked and IMHO don't believe the Messiah is smart enough to make them work here and now.

So, any news agency that accurately reports the news is bad?

Get a grip, obama is screwing up big time and there is no way other than lying to report on it while making him look good.

He is in over his head.

Poor bambi, you got the job you wanted, can you now start working and stick with it longer than any job you've held before?

Chicago thuggery at its finest!

My point was that the White House automatically attacks anyone that disagrees with them. Not through debate, just a flat "YOUR LYING!!!!!!" If you dont toe the line, they try and paint you with the Fox brush. Pretty soon, there will not be a media source the WH trusts, except of course for MSNBC.

So, in short, we agree, and I do have a grip.

You're exactly correct. The knee-jerk reaction to anything critical of this administration (to me) is unsettling. The thug-from-his-adopted-city-of-Chicago seems to believe that everyone in the U.S. that doesn't admire his brilliance should be stomped into the dirt like an ant. His typical White Grandmother would be proud.

30K jobs and that figure is 5,000 too high, so let's say 25,000 jobs actually created.

263,000 jobs lost in September. In September alone, Mind you.

I'd say the Bama boy is falling behind bad. He better use some of that new math.

It's ok though, he is about to bring us back from the brink, with Cap and Trade and a new Government Health Care plan, if there's anyone left working to pay for it.

25,000 jobs ---and that is if we agree that many were actually saved by his recovery plan---is lika a fart in a hurricane.

Thank you. I was wondering if anyone got my sarcasm. This azzwipe pretends to be 'saving' jobs, but by their own admission aren't saving squat. This clown flat out scares the heck outta me. Thank heavens Pelosi and Reid are so ineffectual (at least for now).

I like your signature by the way. One can't vote "present" when our troops lives are at stake.
