Obama Admin On Miserable Jobs Report: Blame Bush, Claim 11 Million Jobs Saved
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 09/02/2011 9:24:24 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Give Gene Sperling credit--he managed to keep a straight face. Sent out onto the White House lawn to explain away the horrendous jobs report showing that the economy created no new jobs in August, the director of the White House National Economic Council actually resorted to blaming the economy inherited from George W. Bush, then making the mind-boggling boast that the failed Obama stimulus program somehow made an 11-million job difference.

Sperling was speaking with Chris Cillizza of the Washington Post, guest hosting for Chuck Todd on MSNBC's Daily Rundown.

There is no bleeding way to quantify this claim.

It’s Obama-Jama-Econodrama.

Agreed, one number is just as fake as the other.

I know people that believe Obama. I've given up talking politics to them, or it ends up in an argument.

A person who routinely makes unverifiable claims using unquantifiable data and ambiguous language in order to avoid responsibility for bad outcomes would never make it in business. In government however, he can be President.

Tell me about it. I have a friend who is a staunch Obozo supporter. I engaged her in a discussion about his policies and got her to the point where she had nowhere to go other than agree with the point I was making. Her words: "That may be, but I don't believe it?" Unbelievable someone that stupid can even breathe without help.

One woman I know (in the extended family) sat at a dinner table with me a few months ago and announced that she had heard obama speak that afternoon and agreed with everything he said. (She watches MSNBC faithfully.)

Right now Magic Mulatto is looking at a 2004 style defeat but he keeps this up, this line of propaganda it is looking like 1980 style. Right now the HMS Obama has hit the iceberg and the water tight doors are closed and the water is coming over the bulkheads, she has 3 compartments full and nothing he can do right will keep the ship aflot. He is done for, with that certainty he is even MORE dangerous. As Mark Levin alerted us to, Obama is feverishly looking to scorched earth the next Pubbie Prez. He is filling the bureaucracy with leftists toadies.

lends a completely new dimension to the concept of “Collective Insanity”...

problem is ..is that when reality and illusion become sufficiently contradictory...often violence breaks out...
