On the July 16 edition of Fox News' Hannity, host Sean Hannity and Fox News contributor Karl Rove advanced the falsehood that White House chief economic adviser Larry Summers promised that the economic recovery plan would "create jobs right away." In fact, during a February 14 appearance (http://mediamatters.org/rd?to=http%3A%2F%2Ftranscripts.cnn.com%2FTRANSCRIP TS%2F0902%2F14%2Fsitroom.01.html - broken link) on CNN's The Situation Room, after saying that "[y]ou'll see the effects [of the economic plan] begin almost immediately," Summers specified that the immediate effects would include prevented layoffs, tax cuts, "orders" for infrastructure projects, and "better maintenance of schools." Summers added that "the effect will build over time."

On Fox, Rove, Hannity spread falsehood that Summers promised jobs right away | Media Matters for America

Hannity and Rove, now that's a duo...

Waaa...

So Hannity took a remark out of context. Don't whine so much about it.... you liberals took Rush's "want Obama to fail" remark way out of context.

Rush said he wanted Obama to fail on the socialist agenda. Instead, liberal media broadcast Rush as saying he wanted Obama to fail. Taken way out of context.

Whats good for the goose is good for the gander.

How many times do you need to see the quotes from obama and his team of "uniquely qualified" individuals to believe it?

Don't take "our" word for it - just google it yourself.

While I dont dispute that Obama is a joke its funny that the Republicans Conference claim their plan will create jobs and get the economy moving again.

Only thing worse than Obama are the Republicans.
