   You’ll be very interested to know that the White House blog is teaming up with CNN — you know, objective news source — to spin the stimulus “faces of recovery” story in advance of the State of the Union speech.

   Hey, wait a minute! I thought they were in bed with ABC? Or are they going on a binge like Tiger Woods?

   Have you seen the Stimulus $’s “dog and pony show” on CNN aired over the last couple of nights? It is very disturbing to watch a “news” organization try to prop up this lame administration. I only could watch a couple of minutes – it is so disturbing to see the spokesman hyperventilating over the numbers of jobs saved and/or created – what a maroon.

   These idiots do not seem to understand that when they have no integrity everything they communicate has to be assumed to be potential disinformation.

   The tragic part is someday, they will get something right and no one will believe it.

   I ask rhetorically, how can a free society function when the MSM and the government feel no responsibility to provide we the people with the facts?

   Obviously, it can’t.

   If the numbers were so fabulous, or if they could track them, the administration would be trumpeting them from their bully pulpit every chance they got. Instead they are just pulling them out of their, um, out of thin air.

   How can the 0 Administration claim to have “Saved or Created” ANY jobs until the millions that have already been lost are working? Maybe he will answer that question tonight…..

   USAToday? Seriously? You might as well have quoted the National Inquirer (apology in advance to NI which probably has more journalistic integrity).

   Here’s a hint for people in the real world; Look around your local area and see how many businesses are shutting their doors. I noted two fast-food chain restaurants that closed down this past weekend as well as some miscellaneous shops I don’t really frequent. Or look for “space to lease” signs. More telling than platitudes for sure.

   if you look at some of the construction projects around Ohio,

   I have heard that it has been estimated that out of those construction jobs at least 15% went to illegal aliens. I would love someone, if possible, to track down the number of jobs created or saved for illegals from the stimulous. Somehow I think that the voters would really be angry then.

    Read here and expect some of this to show up in the SOTU tonight.

    Hack!! Ptui!!! I actually read them, and now I have this funny icky taste in my mouth. What a bunch of rubbish!! I’m sure they will be trotted out for the dog-and-pony show tonight, which I don’t think I can stomach watching. I think I have to wash my hair or something.

    Hannity nailed the administration for this last night. It’s pretty amazing when three people IN THE SAME WHITE HOUSE can’t agree on the number. If they did agree, it would be a lie anyway, but still…

    You can bet a whole lot more than 15% went to illegals. In NJ, a sanctuary state, You can barely find ANY contractor or large construction outfit that doesn’t hire illegals. Lots of illegals. Maybe O’Keefe should have visited these “Stimulus Construction Site” and request to see proof of citizenship for the workers there and filmed that. You’d likely see these workers scattering like rats and maybe could have uncovered some fraudulent IDs in the process.

    You know, if they would just give me $10 or $15 million out of the stimulus petty cash drawer, I could keep bartenders, executive chefs, and limo drivers gainfully employed for years.

    It’s a proven fact that Obummer actually DID create 2 million jobs!

    The unemployment office, bankruptcy lawyers, car repocessors, home repocessors, financial counselors, pawn shops, and loan sharks have all reported doing lots of hiring!

    I always thought he could have mined gold at the Nancy Pelosi plantation up in Napa. Still wish someone would look into that place.

    nappy and this administration could care less…they’d just spin their only looking for work crapola and protect their zero liability/undocumented democratic voters!

    My daughter owns a biz in NJ and says it’s hard to compete with most companies because they refuse to use illegal aliens in their’s! She absolutely hates illegals and any biz that uses them…she’s a conservative surrounded by libtards…

    “Mayor Phil Gordon, of Phoenix, says that because of the Recovery Act, “thousands of people are going back to work.” “The picture in Phoenix, Arizona, is clear: Because of ARRA, key projects are under way, our environment is improving — and thousands of people are going back to work.” [CNN.com, 1/25/10]”

    I live here in Phoenix and that is a bunch of BULL! Sam’s club is about to lay-off about 300 people here in town and more jobs will be cut at Verizon. I don’t know what Mayor “Fail” Gordon is talking about….

    the interviewer was spot on, the only thing the stimulus money did was keep obama supporters from feeling this depression as much as private company workers. so teachers, cops, firemen, and trade union workers go stimulated. everyone else got the bill.
