Midknight Review -- new and revised: Recovery.gov reports 682,370 jobs created AT THE SAME TIME Obama is reporting 3.6 million jobs. The obvious question: which is it ??

(ABC News) The White House asserted Wednesday that the $862 billion stimulus law has been even better for the economically-struggling country than previously advertised.

Updating its estimate of the impact the controversial new law has had, the White House now projects that the vast spending act has created or saved between 2.5 million and 3.6 million jobs.

That's up from the estimate of 2.2 million to 2.8 million jobs that was released in the first quarter of the year from the White House Council of Economic Advisers. The new estimate says the act is on track, if it hasn't already reached, the promise that the stimulus act would save or create 3.5 million jobs by the end of 2010. A growing body of independent economic analysis suggests the law has boosted jobs and kept people off the unemployment line. Yet exactly how many jobs is a matter of dispute, particularly at a time when the national jobless rate continues to hover perilously close to 10 percent. . . READ THE FULL ARTICLE HERE >>>

Editor's notes: to begin with, the fact that the Administration cannot figure out if they have "created or saved" 2.5. million jobs or 3.6 million makes their estimate little more than a joke bordering on stupid. Apparently, so few bought the first lie of two weeks ago, that Obama decided to make the number even bigger. His contempt for the intellect of the voting public is monumental.

Click on recovery.gov and you will find that only 682,370 jobs have actually been created - according to this Obama site. Compare that number to the 3.6 million number he is pushing today. Ask yourself this: why has he not changed the "recovery.gov" number to reflect his most recent lie?

Secondly, still referring to "recovery.gov," understand that only 122 billion dollars has been spent for three categories - grants, loans and infrastructure or "contracts." At this Obama reporting site, recovery.gov, there is not enough information given enabling the reader to separate the three categories or to figure out how much has actually gone to the specific category of "jobs creation." In fact, the wording, "jobs creation" is nowhere mentioned or alluded to although "reported jobs" is given mention. One cannot use this information site to gain an understanding of "stimulus cost per job." Why? Simple -- Obama does not want folks "checking up on his numbers" so he has made it impossible to do so.

Point of post: to refute the fantasy of "3.6" millions jobs "created or saved" using Obama's own reporting numbers. Status of assignment: successful.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
