Saving was added later, the original proposal was to create 3 million jobs. Keep defending the emptu suit

In his weekly radio address on Jan. 10, 2009, Barack Obama said the No. 1 goal of his economic stimulus plan is to create 3 million new jobs in the next two years. Less than 20 percent of them will be government jobs.
Why don't you quote him then? Prove your comment rather than quoting Tara Weiss. Because according to his plan, which was released the day before the article you posted, Obama's #1 goal was:

A key goal enunciated by the President-Elect concerning the American Recovery and Reinvestment Plan is that it should save or create at least 3 million jobs by the end of 2010.
 
So plus 7 % points is bad?

I'd say it is quite remarkable considering where we were and the obstructionist political climate where some are willing to hold the debt ceiling hostage regards of the impact.
GDP was -8.9% when Obama took over. It's up over 10 points since then.

I posted the article, you look it up. No one can count a saved job, there is no source for that data other than the President that you support who has been proven to lie. Doesn't seem that the public is buying your claims about this President. 38% JAR and no economic policy to change things. The stimulus was supposed to be for shovel ready jobs yet Obama said "shovel ready jobs weren't so shovel ready" and you continue to buy his rhetoric. Results don't matter in your world as you continue to defend the indefensible.
 
Now for the rest of the story, net job loss, declining labor force,

That is really neither here nor there. As has been shown to you even with a net job gain unemployment can still double

4 trillion added to the debt.

Better then doubling the debt.

That is a remarkable achievement in your world?


Considering the starting point, yes.

Doubling the debt would be over 21 trillion dollars. that will happen if the public is stupid enough to give him another 4 years
 
Wrong, as reported he said he would CREATE 3 million jobs as I posted and then changed it to save or create knowing that no one can determine the amount of saved jobs. His record however can be reported and it is a net job loss, not a job gain, 4 trillion added to the debt, and a declining labor force. That is called a success by liberals.
I'm quoting the publication put out by his team, The Job Impact of the American Recovery and Investment Plan

You're quoting Tara Weiss.

When Obama took over there were 11.9 million officially unemployed and there are over 13.9 million in July 2011
That's 1 million less than Bush lost during his first 30 months before you voted to give him 4 more years.
 
I posted the article, you look it up.
I looked it up and gave you the link to what Obama's actual position was. You choose to accept Tara Weiss' article over obama's own plan.

Still waiting for how you determine the number of saved jobs? What source provides the number of saved jobs?

Yep and had all things been equal that would be Bush's number.

I won't be voting for Bush in 2012 nor will I be voting for Obama because of his record, a record that you seem to not have a problem with

I don't know why you're waiting? I've told you repeatedly -- I'm, using the figures you said were the result of Obama's stimulus plan.

No that is not why you are not voting for him. You are not voting for him because he is a democrat and you place party before all else.

The only reason you're not voting for Bush is because he's not running. That he left office doubling the unemployment rate doesn't even matter to you.

The reality is, Bush about doubled the unemployment rate, about doubled the debt, lost about 25% of stock market valuation, and if he was running, you would vote for him without even thinking twice about it.

Since you have called me a liar over and over again why would you believe what you think I said. In reality I quoted CBO which took the numbers from the Obama Administration as that is how the CBO works, either from the Administration or the Congress. You really ought to learn how the CBO works and stop claiming I made those claims instead of reporting what CBO stated.

When I voted for Bush in 2004 there was a net job gain after the Clinton recession and 9/11 plus the fact that he was running against Kerry. Guess that fact escaped you

When you voted for Bush, 2.2 million jobs had been lost and the unemployment rate went from 4.2% to 5.5%

Jan/2001: unemployed+discouraged = 6,324,000
Oct/2001: unemployed+discouraged = 8,490,000

When I voted for Bush the employment went from 137.8 to 139.7 so stop lying. That is a job gain of 1.9 million after two terrible years none of which Bush created. But what does that have to do with the Obama 38% JAR and current disastrous economic results?

I am quoting what was stated in that article from the Obama radio address. You and the rest of the brainwashed always buy rhetoric. How do you count a saved job?
You're quoting an article whcich paraphrased what Obama said. I'm amazed you can't even spot the dishonesty ion that when you could have looked up Obama's actual words. The truth is, you don't even care what he said as long as you canb find someone who mis-quoted him, that's good enough for you.

I challneged you to quote him instead of Tara Weiss but you refuse to. The reason you refuse to is because you know he said "saved and created."

"The report confirms that our plan will likely save or create three to four million jobs" ~ Barack Obama, January 10th, 2009

You don't care about reality -- you only care about the world of lies you created for yourself.

You're lying now since the CBO never said each job cost us $228,000.

And like a good liberal minion you buy the term saved jobs even though there is no reputable source that counts saved jobs. Keep being brainwashed by the Obama rhetoric

I'm not lying. I gave you the actual numbers I found on the BLS website.

Unemployment increased by 2.2 million jobs and the unemployment rate increased from 4.2% to 5.5% when you voted to give Bush 4 more years.
