Oh No He Didn’t: Biden Touts Millions on Unemployment as Proof Stimulus is a Success

Really? That's your claim to success? The millions of people on unemployment is now something to brag about? I also like how he takes Harry Truman's words, made popular again by Ronald Reagan, and attributes them to his grandpa.

How many of those people on unemployment would have jobs but for Democrat meddling in the free market? How many were put out of work because of your social programs that caused this recession?

On this Labor day, let's not be fooled by the rhetoric of this administration. Let's look at the facts, which are that unemployment has risen to 9.7 percent even though this administration claimed the Stimulus package would halt the increase in unemployment and it would rise no higher than 8 percent:

“The president and Democrats in Congress claim this spending binge is necessary to put Americans back to work,’’ House Republican leader John Boehner said yesterday in the Republican radio and Internet address. “They promised unemployment would not rise above 8 percent if their trillion-dollar stimulus was passed.’’

The administration was wrong, Boehner said. “Unemployment has soared above 9 percent. And now the president admits that unemployment will soon reach double digits.

“After all of this spending, after all of this borrowing from China, the Middle East, our children, and our grandchildren, where are the jobs?’’ he said.

The fact is 3.1 million jobs have been lost since the Stimulus Bill was signed into law.

But hey brother, at least we have millions of people on unemployment, right?

OBAMAVILLE

Gett’n a head fake,
watchin’ msn’s take;
All of their pundits oozing foul oil.
Clean’n my six gun on my front porch swing.
Felling my blood—
It’s beginnin’ to boil.

Wasted away again in Obamaville,
Searchin’ for a job so I can earn my salt.
Some people claim that Bush is to blame,
But I know it’s Obama’s fault.

There’s no rhyme or reason,
They are all commitin’ treason
With nothing to show but a brand new tax or two.
But they are real beauties,
Despotic duties,
how they got passed I haven’t a clue.

Wasted away again in Obamaville,
Searchin’ for a job so I can earn my salt.
Some people claim that it’s Bush we should blame,
Now I think,— hell with them it’s Obama’s fault.

I blew out my flip flop,
Stepped on a pop top;
Cut my heel, but I just cruise on back home.
Because no medical care will the doctors render
They say there’s little service I can tender
And there’s no need for me to hang on.

Wasted away again in Obamaville
Searchin’ for a job so I can earn my salt.
Some people claim that Bush is to blame,
But I know, it’s my own damn fault.
Yes, and some people claim that Bush is to blame,
And I know because of my vote it’s my own damn fault
