WASHINGTON -- Vice President Joe Biden said the Obama administration "misread how bad the economy was" but stands by its stimulus package and believes the plan will create more jobs as the pace of its spending picks up.
Biden, in an interview airing Sunday on ABC's "This Week," said the nation's 9.5 percent unemployment rate is "much too high."
"The figures we worked off of in January were the consensus figures and most of the blue chip indexes out there," Biden said.
"We misread how bad the economy was, but we are now only about 120 days into the recovery package," Biden added. More jobs will be created in coming months, he said.

0bama’s fault.
Misread? Then you’re not qualified for the position you have obtained. Do us a favor and step aside and let the grownups run things.
Is that right ,Joe. If you believe this guy ,you’ll believe that tomorrow when I get up ,I’ll look 20 years younger and vote Democrat! Hahahahaaaaa....
Trotsky’s fault.
Biden, you’re much more of a moron than we realized you were...
Obviously a lie, but just what the media wants. They will pick it up and run with it and that will be the standard talking points.
You didn’t misread anything Biden, you steaming bag of dung.
You and the Kenyan are systematically destroying the lives of productive citizens.
You all need to be impeached and prosecuted for fraud.
Hope and change is communism and we know it.
You kicked the economy when it was down with every socialist bill that's come across your boss's desk. Now that it's still lying on the ground, and people are asking questions, the excuses come out. I'm glad the backpedaling is starting now, because the American people need to get used to you admitting you're clueless.
“Trotsky’s fault”
ROTFLMAO
Their intent is to destroy our nation.
Pure and simple.
Misread? You really mean, you lied. If you Dems can claim Bush lied about Iraq, then it’s obvious you guys lied about what you knew about the condition of the economy.
Misread?!
That sounds like a Katherine Weymouth/WaPoGate excuse.
I was wondering if anyone would get that comment - thanks!
The village idiot can read?
Any jobs created in the coming months will be better that how they have done so far.
No, you didn't, Joe - You planned and implemented a scheme to destroy the economy and it's working perfectly. Perhaps you underestimated the negative effects of your sudden leap towards fascism and socialism.
“More jobs will be created in coming months, he said.”
Thought they were “shovel ready” and just waiting for you guys to dole out the cash. Keep talking, Joe.
“WE misapprehenconstrued the economy.”
“No, you didn’t, Joe - You planned and implemented a scheme to destroy the economy and it’s working perfectly. Perhaps you underestimated the negative effects of your sudden leap towards fascism and socialism. “
We have a winner!
