Obama Job Claims Undercut by Report Obama Job Claims Undercut by Report


Rep. David Camp (R.-Mich.) revealed Friday that, based on Department of Labor data, 48 of 50 states have lost jobs despite the administration’s prediction that the 2009 stimulus would save or create over 3 million jobs.

The chart (see below) released by the GOP ranking member on the Ways and Means Committee puts the actual change in jobs as of July 2010 next to what the administration predicted it would be through December 2010. The administration’s prediction includes jobs “saved” or created, while the GOP numbers look specifically at jobs created.

California was predicted to have the largest increase in jobs: 396,000. However, the Ways and Means research shows them at -526,000 as of July. The next hardest-hit state is Illinois: the administration promised they would get 148,000 jobs, but they’ve actually lost 171,100.
The two states where jobs have increased are Alaska and North Dakota. Both states have Republican governors. Washington, D.C., has also seen twice the number of jobs the administration predicted, as Camp pointed out Sunday in an interview with Fox News.

The hopey-changey thing isn't working out to well for anyone (even those who are not yet seeing any impact in their lives). People, and a majority thank goodness, are on to him, and they don't want what he is selling.

This whole DC group, including the tyrant in the white house and his regime, is so arrogant; every single one of them has to go, and if not in November, in the following election in 2012. I do think, however, many will look around and see a lot of familiar faces missing come January and do what McCain did by re-writing who they are and what they stand for (don't know about you but have reached the point where I can't stand the sight of John McCain/he stands for nothing and is a consummate politician just like Charlie Crist).

When Obama was sworn into office,he was not asked if he would tell the truth,the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Had he swore to do this he could be put in prison for lieing under oath. This changey thingey is not working out very good for me.

RYAN NICHOLS - Hardened Criminal?? Seriously??

If you're not already aware. This is what's going on in DC while dangerous criminals are allowed back out on the streets.  It's horrifying that this is happening to our citizens and veterans for protesting the hijacking of our election process. This is still happening! They are STILL being tortured and treated like full on terrorists. 

You may not be aware of the typical things they're forced to go through...…
