but really, should they mind? After all, it's all about obama, isn't it? He will never be able to convince Americans that his stimulus has been a success, not when the numbers are contrary to his ridiculous claims, not when millions are out of work, not when thousands are signing on to UE rolls every week, not when the UE is far beyond anything he claimed it would be, not when the numbers being churned out about recovery jobs are bogus and discredited.
Mr. Obama spoke for just ten minutes and was on the ground in Ohio for just over an hour.
The trip Columbus probably cost taxpayers between $500,000 and $1 million.
Air Force One alone bills out at $100,000 per hour, and the round trip is nearly two hours. Adding to the cost are military aircraft to carry limos and secret service vehicles, Marine One on standby, Secret Service, local police and other factors.
President Obama went to the groundbreaking of a road project in Columbus, Ohio, Friday to show that his massive stimulus package is still churning out jobs -- a "good news" story that was anything but for some construction workers who were trying to figure out how to make up for the payday they lost due to the president's visit.
The workers were told not to report to their construction project at a nearby hospital Friday, because the Secret Service was shutting it down for security reasons. They also were told that they would not get paid for the forced day off.

There.. now you can stop looking like a fool by posting the same old talking points by Democrats filled with lies..
I had something like that happen to me once. But we didn't lose a day of pay. Instead, the day was treated like a regular day off and the following regular day off we came in to work like it was a regular work day. No loss in pay. It was an inconvenience but nothing more.
Nope, it’s called the first derivative. Instead of worrying about how high the line is, we’re only going to worry about how steep the line is. That way, the number will look good even if we keep losing jobs. Instead of charting how many jobs there are, we’re charting how many jobs we’re still losing.
Neat trick, huh?
I like this graph even more;
It must feel awful to realize how many times one can be duped by the same person.
Excellent. Way to **** off Ohioans, barry. Good job.
