Oh, never mind. If the WH says it, you can be sure it's a lie;



This...as business continue to tell this administration they are killing jobs.
Sunstein falls on the conservative side of regulation and is viewed by liberals as a de-regulator, which is actually what he is doing. I happen to agree with what he's trying to accomplish.

Also, all this job talk of "job killing" is a little silly considering last the month economy added a net gain of 117,000 jobs.

Have you seen your buddy Sunstein's views on regulating the internet and free speech? He is no conservative. He would have fit right in with Hitler and Goebbels back in the day.

Then you tell me where they are saving this 2.5 BILLION dollars? That's how much the debt ceiling was raised. Why didn't they just do this and the whole fiasco and credit rating dropped would have been avoided right? Or is our hero lying yet again. I think so.

Thanks Glenn Beck. But you do have a point, trying to increase dialogue on public issues is totally like killing 6 million people.

So much fail.
