Obama keeps saying he’s created 2 million jobs. And I keep filling up barf buckets.
One of the biggest Big Lies of the Obama administration was the invention of the never-before-seen category of “saved or created” jobs. Simply put, it is a giant load of rotting baloney. Harvard economics Professor Gregory Mankiw has said, “There is no way to measure how many jobs are saved.” Allan Meltzer, professor of political economy at Carnegie Mellon University has said “One can search economic textbooks forever without finding a concept called ‘jobs saved.’ It doesn’t exist for good reason: how can anyone know that his or her job has been saved?” If George Bush had EVER tried to use this same “saved or created” shenanigan, he would have been simultaneously mocked as a complete moron and attacked as a criminal who was trying to deliberately deceive the American people. But a liberal Democrat did it, so the mainstream media has merely duly reported the totally-made-up and self-serving “statistic” as though it weren’t a complete fabrication.
Why does Obama keep lying to the American people about jobs?
A couple of weeks ago, his three senior advisers trotted out with wildly disparate job numbers that Obama had ostensibly “saved or created.” On the very same day, David Axelrod said we had saved or created more than 2 million jobs. Robert Gibbs said we’d saved 1.5 million jobs. And Valerie Jarrett said we’d saved thousands and thousands of jobs.
Valerie Jarret would have to say, “thousands and thousands” a thousand times to get to Axelrod’s “2 million.”
The numbers are arbitrary bullcrap. The Obama administration has “saved or created” as many jobs as they think they can get away with before they think the American people will realize they are liars.
We can go back and look at how shockingly deceitful Obama’s job claim numbers have been. I never thought an American president could get away with so many shockingly transparent lies. You have to be a hard-core lie ADDICT to tell these kind of lies.
We can go back and look at all the bogus congressional districts and phony zip codes that have been “saving or creating” job after job.
Why, you can almost believe Obama’s claims when just one lawnmower was all it took to “save or create” a whopping 50 jobs (and that as reported by the New York Times). I mean, if we produce just 6 million lawnmowers, we can have total employment of every single man, woman, and child in America.
And even given Obama’s OWN INFORMATION, he has only “saved or created” 595,263 jobs as of February 20, 2010. Which amounts to $456,941 per job given how much of the porkulus slush fund otherwise known as stimulus dollars have been paid out.
595,263 can become more than 2 million if it’s stretched long enough.
I tried Obama’s tactic. I called up every single team in the NBA and told them I was 25 feet tall. Only nobody believed me. I really hoped my six foot body could be out there on the floor with Shaquille O’Neal, and I could simply tell any skeptic who doubts my 25-foot status that “they just aren’t looking at the full picture” or something similar.
Senator Evan Bayh, in announcing that he would not run again as a Democrat for the U.S. Senate, had this to say to convey the truth:
“[I]f I could create one job in the private sector by helping to grow a business, that would be one more than Congress has created in the last six months.”
That’s an awfully far cry from 2 million, isn’t it?
According to a recent New York Times/CBS poll, a whopping 94% of the American people agree with Bayh. Only 6% of Americans believe Obama’s massive porkulus has created jobs a full year after going into effect.
Only SIX PERCENT of Americans believe that Obama’s porkulus has created any jobs at all. That means more Americans believe that space aliens have anally probed them than believe in the stimulus. It also means that 94% think Obama and his entire administration and the entire Democrat congressional leadership are completely full of crap.
So why does the mainstream media keep reporting that Obama has saved or created 2 million jobs, when 94% of the American people – even according to CBS and the New York Times!!! – don’t think he’s created ANY jobs?
I have an even better question for you: why on earth do you keep watching or reading the mainstream media when they keep reporting flagrant lies as if they were facts?
Do you like being lied to? Were you told so many lies as a child that you now need a constant stream of lies to stay in your little happy place?
Meanwhile, even as Obama falsely tells us that he gave us 2 million jobs this year, and that we are “clearly” emerging from the recession – which means even MORE job growth in future years – his own numbers are telling him that he will leave office in 2012 with unemployment higher than it was when he came in.
If you’re willing to believe that Obama saved or created 2 million jobs, please send me $99.99 for my miraculous elixir that is guaranteed to make you 25 feet tall. And for an extra $99.99, I will send you a ruler that will prove that you have grown fourfold.
And please ignore the fact that the contents of the bottle look and taste rather like urine.
