Obama: Stimulus can save 4 million jobs
http://money.cnn.com/2009/01/10/news/oba....

Quote:
Jan 10th 2009
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -- President-elect Obama said Saturday an analysis of his stimulus proposals shows that between 3 million and 4 million U.S. jobs could be saved or created by 2010, nearly 90% of them in the private sector.


There you have it. 4 million jobs as of January is now down to 600k

Lying and double speak? I guess that is change we can believe in.....

Reuters headline:
"Obama speeds projects to create, save 600,000 jobs"
Spun like "Our hero will save us!"

Yahoo Finance:
"Obama promises more than 600,000 stimulus jobs"
Comes across as cynical.

Perhaps the media honeymoon is about to end for Obama?

The worst thing about this all is that they'll give him credit for doing so when he didn't. If things miraculously turn out OK for a few years he'll get the credit, if they go straight to hell he'll still get credit for making it "not as bad" and Bush will get all of the blame.

Promises Promises Promises

Pull Troops Out of Iraq? Nope we are now keeping a force of at least 50k there indefinitely.
End The Patriot Act and Return Our Civil Liberties? Nope for security we must give up all our liberties.
Keep Tax Hikes on Top 5%? Nope bring on the VAT.
No Earmarks? Nope stimulus anyone?
No Lobbyists In His Admin? Nope Think Raytheon and people like Rubin and Summers....
No Off Budget War Expenditures? Nope passing a $100 billion off budget as we speak.
No War Expansion? Nope we are now expanding into Pakistan and probably Iran. We are also building another mammoth "embassy" in Pakistan just like what we have in Iraq. I think its safe to assume we are staying there awhile too...
Create 4 Million Jobs With Stimulus? Nope its now down to 600k
Bring Rule of Law and Transparency To Government? Nope...well this explains itself...


The fact is change is not coming. Obama is a politician and owned by the same people. The empire will continue to grow at our expense and our liberties will continue to dwindle and more and more people wake up to the fact we have been hoodwinked by our government. Bush made many of the same promises as Obama as far as ending nation building, upholding civil liberties, and bringing back honesty to Washington. The two parties really are the same....

ROTFLOL- That was excellent.

Have a friend that's an Obamaite and believes the low was 666 and everything will get better from here. His icon is Donald Trump. He out looking to buy a load of apartment buildings with other peoples money, like Donald Trump.

This seems exactly the way the mainstream media wants everyone to think. Just go out and consume/spend like before.

From the article link in Karl's post:

"The accelerated projects announced on Monday included 200 new waste and water systems in rural areas and the creation of 125,000 summer youth jobs."

So, let me see if I have this straight. Obama is bragging about creating 150,000 jobs in his first 100 days, but 125,000 of the jobs that have been "created" so far by the $787 Stimulus package are TEMPORARY jobs for TEENAGERS.

Great.

You know, it is inherently unfair to bad-mouth a few "mistakes" the guy made and call them lies. To be truly fair and ojective, you have to ALSO list the campaign promises he kept.

Keeping that in mind, here's a quick list:
A) Nothing
B) Nothing
C) Nothing

Yep, that about covers it...

The horrible thing is that this isn't even socialism, meaning creating government jobs. It is just a waste, might as well burn the money for heating instead, and saved 3 barrels of oil.

But I guess the "Change" part is gone now, all that is left is "Hope"....

Listen, the guy has a lot going on. I'm sure he'll create those jobs just as soon as he's fixed the deficit and cured cancer.
