Do let us know what your "investigation" uncovers about where the Stimulus money was directed to the special interests, and not where he said it would be directed. Here is where the WH says it went and how much is left to send out. You, of course, have reliable sources disputing that, right?

You must be on a fact-free diet. While the stimulus helped states avoid layoffs of teachers and police, saying that "essentially all the jobs created were government jobs," is totally inaccurate. 22% of the stimulus was tax-cuts alone. Then there were aid to unemployed families. If you are really interested, this is the breakdown:



This is the Chart of federal government employees over time. Where are the increases? We have fewer now than in previous decades, even though population has grown. Those spikes are census (temp) workers:

When are you democrats going to learn not to make such stupid comments.

Obama represents the government. He constantly claims to be working to create more jobs and takes credit for any increase in employment.

Democrats, phssst.

When are you righties going to stop ASSUMING that anyone that disgrees with you is a Democrat
He saved jobs through his actions, creating them is a Private sector issue, you Socialists never seem to get that simple fact no matter how many times it is explained to you. Does not come as a surprise

Excuse me! When are you far left liberals going to stop assuming that only you have any viable answer (let alone all of them) and stop calling any that differ from your point of view your favorite far left liberal names? When are you going to admit that your leader claims to create jobs (a lie according to you) and takes credit for anything positive and places blame elsewhere for anything that does not?

You far left liberals never seem to get that no matter how many times it is explained to you as it seems to tarnish your golden image of you leader.

That of course comes as no suprise to anyone who thinks for themselves and does not take thought direction from your leaders.

You mean the "new normal" narrative? Won't work. This is OBAMA'S recovery and so far it's going swimmingly. The dems OWN it.

See the little red lines? Where does it say census workers?

Don't worry. The Left is busy and desperate to spin the horrible numbers that have come out last week...because obama is sunk unless the economy improves, which it's not doing, so they have to convince people things aren't as bad as they seem.
