(ABC) Exclusive: Jobs 'Saved or Created' in Congressional Districts That Don't Exist
ABC News ^

Posted on 11/16/2009 1:21:22 PM PST by Boiling Pots

Here's a stimulus success story: In Arizona's 9th Congressional District, 30 jobs have been saved or created with just $761,420 in federal stimulus spending. At least that's what the website set up by the Obama Administration to track the $787 billion stimulus says.

There's one problem, though: There is no 9th Congressional District in Arizona; the state has only eight Congressional Districts.

There's no 86th Congressional District in Arizona either, but the government's recovery.gov Web site says $34 million in stimulus money has been spent there.

Ironically, today we find out about 0bama twitters (tweets? I’m sorry, I don’t know the proper terminology) that don’t exist as well.

"....$34 million in stimulus money has been spent there."

I don't care who you are, $34m is a lot of freakin' money.

So where'd it go?

There is no 9th Congressional District in Arizona.

There soon will be, the Ninth Illegal Alien District, formed immediately after the Census.

This stimulus data is “the gift that keeps giving”. Hopefully, I can get paid from a job that doesn’t exist

In the next go around I’d like to get some funds for a new congressional district that is near and dear to my heart. The funds can be sent directly to me and I will make all the necessary arrangements.

I suspect that, if checked out, one would find that these districts do exist and their boundaries exactly surround the state acorn and seiu offices.

Remember all that money that went missing from HUD during the Clinton administration? Those guys needed new yachts.

Obama's minions are depending on creating piles of paper so big that he believes nobody will read them. That includes new legislation and reports. When someone does read them, they are found to be full of lies, misinformation and draconian seizure of liberty and property. It is typical of miscreants to attempt to hide their misdeeds.

Arizona’s 9th and 86th Congressional Districts are located a few miles south of Michigan Avenue.

The MSM has been turning on him. Obama just ignores it.

He knows the gig is up. I swear the Wh was counting on China as some big historic headline for Obama with TEAR DOWN THE FIREWALL and then the chinese gov failed him at the last minute.

Imagine a seated POTUS excited about red china putting him on their state run TV when Obama himself has pre planned propaganda speeches. The irony is sick.

Probably an ACORN office.
