Looks like we have 10% unemployment and have lost 85,000 for the month of December. Just wondering, how many of the 85,000 jobs did Obama save? Does he count creating (supposedly) 17,000 green jobs in 2011 as jobs saved?

Wook, the government may say that we lost 85,000 jobs in December. But they also admit that the number of people looking for work went up by 240,000+! Things are worse than the creative accounting from Obamaland is saying. And, to stay on topic... http://www.propublica.org/ion/stimulus/item/white-house-changes-stimulus-jobs-count-111When the White House unveiled its nearly $800 billion stimulus package last year, it promised not only to create and save 3.5 million jobs but also to open the books and prove it. But counting jobs turned out to be a lot harder than lining up a work crew and tapping hardhats.
Now, the White House says it will no longer keep a cumulative tally of jobs created and saved by the stimulus. Instead, it will post only a count of jobs for each quarter.
And instead of counting only created and saved jobs, it will count any person who works on a project funded with stimulus money�even if that person was never in danger of losing his or her job.

For every job lost the POTUS will have created 2. Just ask the Dems.

Good article Calhoun. A bit scary that they're still using fuzzy math, but insightful into this mess.

There are lots of jobs out there. Wal Mart, Pizza Hut, Chinese Laundry, Taiwanese Manicures, etc. Just wear a Turban or speak Messican and you're hired. Of course the jobs lost were $15 an hour in the aviation industry and such. The jobs being currently filled are only like $6 an hour, but Obama's gonna give us free healthcare. Don't worry, be happy.
