Scott Allan’s World

Obama promised to create 2.5 million jobs.   Six months later, still waiting. The unemployment rate increased to 9.5%.  Since there was a net loss of 467,000 jobs in June alone,  I’m pretty sure you can’t claim to have created any yet.   Let me think like a politician and try to spin this. In January when Obama took office, the number of unemployed was 11.6 million and 7.6%.   Since then, the number of unemployed is now 14.7 million people and 9.5%.   Let’s go ahead and pretend, sorry I mean “estimate” based on numbers pulled out of your ass, that the number of unemployed really would have been 17.2 million had we done nothing and then Obama can claim that he has created 2.5 million jobs instead of losing 3.1 million. Yeah that’s the ticket.  We could even say it would have been 20 million unemployed and then he could also say he “saved” another 2.8 million.  I think Robert Gibbs can sell that to that bunch of lemmings.

Perhaps next time we should actually read the “stimulus” package before passing it.   Since there are no “shovel ready” jobs like we were told, hand me that un-used shovel.  I think I smell something.
