How Does Obama Get Away With Claiming He’s “Created Or Saved” 150,000 Jobs?
If any Republican made a claim like this they’d have been laughed off the stage by the media. But Obama? Well, he’s different.
Did you know he has a gift?
From the press conference last night:
This budget builds on the steps we’ve taken over the last 100 days to move this economy from recession to recovery and ultimately to prosperity.
We began by passing a Recovery Act that has already saved or created over 150,000 jobs and provided a tax cut to 95 percent of all working families.
So, which jobs were created? Which ones were saved? How, exactly, was that number calculated?
And is making vague references to some 150,000 jobs you’re claiming to have created or saved really appropriate when unemployment in March set a new record?
Someone should ask Gibbs these questions so maybe he can tell us what Obama really meant to say.
