The Obama administration's economic stimulus program created nearly 600,000 jobs in the final three months of 2009, a figure in line with the administration's goals for job creation through the end of 2010, the White House reported Saturday night.
The new total was down from the totals reported for the previous quarter, partly because the administration decided in December to count only the jobs paid for with stimulus funding instead of estimating the number of jobs "created or saved" with the money.
Critics had panned the "created or saved" measurement as a subjective and confusing way of determining the program's success.

He is not lying!!. He created the NJ governor ,Va governor and the Mass senator
I am going to use that line to really hack off some liberals I know! “Yeah, I know of three jobs that Obama created...”
There were exactly zero jobs created; all that happened was the transfer of the funding of existing jobs from local/state level to Uncle Sugar.
600,000 was probably the number of job applications they got on whitehouse.gov that claimed they hadn’t paid their taxes for several years, and said their qualification for a government job was that they couldn’t figure out Turbo Tax. /s
You know, I heard about you italian quaker guys.
Like the Amish, very terrorism-oriented.
;-
where the heck are these supposed jobs?
Saved 600k civil servant jobs that shouold have been fired!
Pretty bad when President Failure has to crow about temporary CENSUS JOBS, isn’t it?
The problem for the democrats is that even the gullible CNN watching Independents are not buying these preposterous lies.
Reminds me of a basic economic fact of life:
A recession is when your neighbor is out of work.
A depression is when you are out of work.
An economic recovery is when Obama is out of work.
It might have. Seriously, it really might have.
After all, with that big of a slush fund, anyone could create quite a lot of paper “jobs” for a little while. Fully paid ones, too, no (or little) work needed!
Of course, paying for the slush fund certainly cost many times that many real productive jobs. But that’s good, too, at least if you want to destroy America’s economy and use that crisis to completely change America into a marxist state...
even IF this were true... i wouldn’t brag.
i realize math is not a skill normally associated with the left... but maybe they can keep up.
stimulus money: $780 billion
jobs ‘created’: 600,000
COST PER JOB: $1,300,000
can i get one of these jobs please? (who says working for the gov’t doesn’t pay off?)
Paid for with stimulus funds = government/state employees. UNION hacks. When the stimulus funds run out, WE THE PEOPLE will be called upon to pony up MORE money to PAY for these jobs, cause we all know NO ONE has ever been FIRED or DOWNSIZED from a government job.
The Stimu-lie created jobs? Nobody believes that one.
