White House press secretary Jay Carney says the Recovery Act added several million jobs and lowered the unemployment rate. According to Carney, the "goals" of the stimulus package "have been met."
A reporter asked Carney why unemployment is at 9% and not 7%, the percentage projected if the stimulus worked. Carney dismissed the question: "We've said repeatedly that we don't want to relitigate the battles of the past," Carney told the reporter.

I guess they think that no one will notice that unemployment has not went down? How about the biggest whopper of all about how they have created more jobs than Bush did?HMM unemployment at 5% unemployment at over 9% just which one created jobs? DUH

Carney is telling the truth. The socialists goal has been met by expanding the size of government even further beyond their Constitutional boundaries.

we don't want to relitigate the battles of the past Nope. Let's just declare victory and move on to the next topic. Seriously, if you don't want to relitigate battles of the past, then why did you bring it up? Maybe we should just focus on the present, like unemployment still over 9%.

Translation: Gibbs told Carney that nothing the regime has done so far is defensible, so just make it up as you go. What do you want from Bidens communications director? He really has done a bang up job at that, Eh?

Too many in America are "STILL BUYING" Barry Hussein Soetoro's LIES. Check out the Daily approval polls and you will be sick. He is on the way to term number two - Repubs quaking in their boots afraid of a Fed Gov shutdown.
THIS IS THE GOP'S CHANCE - LET BARRY SHUT IT DOWN. DO NOT COMPROMISE - REMEMBER WHO BROUGHT YOU TO THE DANCE AND WHAT INSTRUCTIONS WE GAVE YOU.
