I agree; a 9.1% unemployment rate isn't going to get anybody re-elected.
With millions of folks either getting new jobs or losing their jobs every month (which accounts for the 'net' figure of 54,000 for this week), that's just more bad news for the biggest and most prolific liar to ever occupy the White House.
Toss in $5.00/gallon for gasoline in some places recently, and there's no way for the Democrats to spin these abysmal numbers.
When you toss in the folks who are currently working part-time but who want full-time work are combined with those who want to work but have given up looking, the actual unemployment rate is a staggering 15.8%, according to the Orange County Register.
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?
Sorry bob, but even the CBO says these figures are made up.

Again, the CBO says these "saved jobs" are figured pulled out of their butt.. and there are other reports saying the bill cost 500,000 jobs..
Simply calling people a socialist because they disagree with the Democratic claims that they created jobs, when reality is they didnt, is making you look foolish.
See the little red lines? Where does it say census workers?
I guess you are right. It's just coincidence that every 10 years ending in '0' or '1', regardless of Party in power, the government goes on a massive hiring spree and then fires an equal number of employees a year later.
I enjoy reading the nonsensical post by righties. The condemn the mild stimulus as not doing anything, even though empirical evident shows otherwise then have no solutions of their own.
So what’s the hard-right response? We just throw up our hands, and say that having 12 million or so adults who should be working out of work, and roughly $1 trillion per year of output we should be producing not getting produced, is just a fact of life.
What's the problem? America is the Temple of Capitalism. As long as the wealthy are doing okay there's nothing to complain about.
Are they complaining?
So what about the unemployed - they are merely human sacrifices to the Capitalist God!
God Ble$$ America!

LOL..now that it's obvious the stimulus didn't kickstart a stronger recovery it's now being called "mild" ?

The stimulus created some jobs. Dropping $billions out of Air Force 1 would have created some jobs.

As you conveniently ignore the links that prove obama has increased the fed workforce.
Should be easy to find and link to then, shouldn't it?
Besides, this is just a tangent to the NEWS of the day - the abysmal jobs number and OTHER abysmal economic indicators.
