The Obama administration, under fire for inflating job growth from the $787 billion stimulus plan, slashed over 60,000 jobs from its most recent report on the program because the reporting outlets had submitted "unrealistic data," according to a document obtained by ABC News.
The Office of Management and Budget document shows that before an Oct. 30 progress report on the program the administration asked the Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board to remove information from 12 stimulus recipients that contained "unrealistic data," including "unrealistic job data."
One recipient, Talladega County of Alabama, claimed that 5,000 jobs had been saved or created from only $42,000 in stimulus funds.

Obama’s mouth piece, Anita Dunn, regarding her continued war against Fox News.
Dunn also criticized Rove and the Bush administration for holding secret meetings in the White House.
“We are running this transparent and very accountable administration,” she said. “That was not the case when Karl Rove was calling the shots in the White House for eight years.”
Obama Lied and Jobs Died
his voodoo “save and created” math is nothing more then vapor wear. he’s counting on the tax and cap eco-KOOKS to slap us down with punitive energy tax.
I better check. I don’t think Obama has a truth czar...
Last week there was a story about 50 stimulus jobs created by the purchase of a lawn mower.
officially,it only takes $1.00 to make the list. thats in the actual rules.
USA Today noted that: “the federal government sent Bob Bray $26,174 in stimulus aid to fix a fence and replace the roofs on public apartments in Blooming Grove, Texas, a town of fewer than 900 people outside Dallas. He hired five roofers and an inspector to do the job. But the number of jobs he reported to the government looked very different—450 jobs.
“Oh, no,” said Bray, who runs the local public housing authority part-time with his wife, Linda, when asked about the discrepancy. He said that he told the government that he had created six jobs but that a federal official told him that wasn’t right. So he reported the number of hours the roofers worked instead. The Department of Housing and Urban Development caught the mistake, but he couldn’t fix it before the jobs figures were published. “The money was great, but the reports are really confusing,” he said.
“I’ve been fighting with it for over a month and a half.”

’ Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board to remove information from 12 stimulus recipients that contained “unrealistic data,” including “unrealistic job data.”
notice they are not changing the rules that led to this sort of nonsense. If they did,they’d find they created or saved a dozen jobs.
What we’re seeing is an evolving foundation for the definition of “Obamanomics.”
And the worst thing about that is that she probably BELIEVES it.
I think it would fly, given its use during the Bush years.
People would pick up on it instantly.
Obama lied; Jobs Died
You need a poster/flyer to go with it
