Barack Obama told supporters last night that his latest new-fangled stimulus plan will create 1.9 million jobs.
USA Today reported:
President Obama has attached a big number to his jobs bill: 1.9 million.
At a private fundraiser last night, Obama said his proposal would create 1.9 millions jobs, while reducing the 9.1% unemployment rate by a percentage point; he also said it would add two percentage points to the gross domestic product.
Assuming it’s passed by Congress, that is.
“The Republicans in the House, their natural instinct right now is not to engage in the kind of cooperation that we’d like to see,” Obama said in promoting his American Jobs Act.
Of course, the odds of this latest stimulus creating any jobs is slim to none. Obama should have stuck to that “save or create” line. That way when we get the next downgrade he won’t look so foolish.

They rammed sh!t down our throats and we aren’t taking it anymore. Over and out.
Tired Okie commented:
Doesn’t he ever get tired of lying??? He has no shame and thinks we have no brain!!!
Rhoda R commented:
More money for his union cronies and other fund raisers – the Republicans had better not pass it cause we can’t depend on the Dems in the Senate for anything except supporting the party line.
Estragon commented:
If you’re gonna lie, might as well go big.
His supporters are too stupid to tell the difference anyway. It will be interesting to see if the legacy media calls him out on it – there have been some signs recently that they are beginning to realize he has jumped the shark and continuing to cover his butt will only hasten their own inevitable demise.
Bill Mitchell commented:
Liberals never cease to amaze me. Why would companies make capital investments and perform long term hiring based upon temporary stimulus and not actual supply and demand? How do liberals NOT get that?
These aren’t jobs, they are just taxpayer-funded giveaways designed to buy votes.
Bill Mitchell commented:
Obama’s definition of “cooperation” – Do EVERYTHING I say no matter how idiotic you think it is while I will do NOTHING you say.

Because he’s been so accurate on his economic predictions since he took office? Please. Go away. Enough already.
middleagedhousewife commented:
I’m with Estragon -”If you’re gonna lie, might as well go big.” Only, I was thinking he might actually tell us where those 1.9 million jobs will come from. Oh. Silly me…
kansas commented:
1.9 million jobs lost if his plan is not passed? Oh the humanity. Seriously, does he just make this crap up?

guess when he was admiring himself in the mirror he reached into his A$$ and the number just popped out…what a fukken idiot

Problem is,none will be in America. Not to worry,though. We, the American voter, are going to fill numerous openings come November 2012. Reserve your moving van now,there is going to be a huge flush in DC about the same time.

On the other hand for a mere 1 million dollars cash I will vote for Obama.

The only problem is that no one believes him anymore.

Molon Labe commented:
Didn’t Obama sate he wanted to create an “internal security force” equal in size and funding to the military. This is how he plans to do it. He’ll name it something clever like Security Staff or Kyptonite Golfing Guards.
ohio commented:
“Jobs Plan”, you mean the one that the ‘Rats have not submitted to congress, the one that Snuffy Reid thinks discussing bike paths is better, the one that a “Pub took the name and submitted his own. That jobs plan?
MrGoodWench commented:
So now when the Congress DOES NOT pass his ” jobs” a k a reparations bill, RIGHT NOW,
” set up “
Obama can say that the Congress is responsible for a loss of 1.9 mil jobs.
Butt if the Congress PASSES his ” jobs” a k a reparations bill, RIGHT NOW,
Obama takes credit for creating 1.9 mil jobs.
What was that word I was looking for ?
Oh yeah

Wm T Sherman commented:
What’s the point of buying off government employees and union hacks? They’re already bought.
Anyway, the details of the plan are irrelevant. He knows it won’t fly, and does not want it to fly. He just wants an excuse to point a desperate nicotine-stained finger at Republicans for ruining everything by not passing it. Good luck with that.
Freddy commented:
“… he also said it would add two percentage points to the gross domestic product…. ”
So, Obama expects that 450 billion in government spending will lead to 300 billion in GDP.
In Obama’s own words, FAILURE is in fact the goal.
gus commented:
450 BILLION DIVIDED BY A BULLSHIP NUMBER OF JOBS 1.9 MILLION equals $236,842.00 per BULLSHIP job.
Obama is toast, put a fork in him.
shibumi commented:
“Only, I was thinking he might actually tell us where those 1.9 million jobs will come from.”
Duh.
When he says “create jobs” he means “SAVED or created jobs” and every single employed person counts as a “saved” job. So really he’s already created millions, a I mean billions of jobs.
That’s Obama-logic.
gus commented:
Obama is a loser. Pure and Simple. Chain smoking, wart faced Commie loser. And those are his good points. Read it and weep LIBTARDS.

Snortalicious Obama 2012 fund-raising appeal of the day
By Michelle Malkin • September 16, 2011 01:07 PM
I’ll put the laugh line in bold and let you do the rest:
Friend –
You got an email from the President a couple days ago, inviting you to sit down to dinner with him.
I know some people might think this is just some kind of trick or something. It’s not.
The fact is that someday soon, four people reading this note right now will be on a plane to have dinner with President Obama in Washington, or Chicago, or wherever he might be that day.
Think about that for a second. The four people who win will sit down with the President of the United States of America — not for a two-minute photo-op or a quick meet-and-greet, but for a private meal with face-to-face conversation. That’s just not something too many people will ever get to do.
The President obviously has very little time to spend on anything related to the campaign. And this is how he chooses to spend it — having real, substantive conversations with people like you.
http://michellemalkin.com/2011/09/16/snortalicious-obama-2012-fund-raising-appeal-of-the-day/
For the full laugh, I’d have highlighted the entire paragraph.
But I can’t ignore the “Some people might think this is some kind of trick or something.” When he ever played anything straight?
BO is short on credibility. Thankfully, that now includes his former fans.

re: [We don’t need a middle class anymore.]
just a sample:
‘Disavowal of the Pursuit of Middleclassness’
[And – of course – the oppressor class of rich, wealthy bourgeoisie was immediately replaced by an oppressor class of rich, wealthy Marxists who swiftly employed levels of brutality and control that dwarfed the wildest imaginings of any political system that had come before. In the name of “the people,” a State system whose leaders lived unimaginably more luxurious lives than those in whose names they ruled engaged in campaigns of disinformation and brutal terror to keep “the people” under their abject dominion.]
George Soros, Maurice Strong and company redefine the Middleclass
[The Democrat-loving mainstream media is missing the boat on Warren
Buffet’s take of America’s economic meltdown as …”a sort of economic
Pearl Harbor we’re going through.”
That being the case, then surely the first
question should be: “Who is attacking the
U.S.?”
The billionaire’s $5 billion investment in Goldman Sachs Group Inc. at
the same time he’s touting the Treasury’s $700 billion bank rescue plan,
should be the tipoff.
With so many banksters and fraudsters openly treating the U.S.
treasury as their private piggybank, one ponders what‘s really
going on.
Is wholesale market manipulation the new al Qaeda?
Unfortunately that’s a concept based far more on fact than paranoia.]
“A Disavowal of the pursuit of Middleclassness’, the heading read. While it is permissible to chase ‘middleincomeness’ with all our might, the text stated, those blessed with the talent or good fortune to achieve success in the American mainstream must avoid the psychological entrapment of Black ‘middleclassness’ that hypnotizes the successful brother or sister into believing they are better than the rest and teaches them to think in terms of ‘we’ and ‘they’ instead of ‘US’!”

Lets pretend that is true. $ 477,000,000,000 divided by 1,900,000 jobs is $ 251,052 per McJob. Really? That is if it worked perfectly. That’s the best lie he can manage.
