WASHINGTON, March 3 (UPI) -- Shovels already are hitting the ground in just the two weeks since the $787 billion stimulus package was signed, U.S. President Barack Obama said Tuesday.He promised shovel ready jobs if the Congress rushed through the $787 billion dollar stimulus earlier this year. He promised 400,000 to 3.5 million jobs and that unemployment would not rise above 8%. But as we all know by now absolutely nothing that he promised was real. It was all made up. (see 4:21min video)
Speaking to Transportation Department employees and flanked by Vice President Joe Biden and Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, Obama said 400,000 jobs of the estimated 3.5 million jobs either created or saved were involved in rebuilding infrastrucuture, updating transit or laying broadband line. –UPI(see source)
Now that he can no longer deny the reality of unemployment as high as 10.2% nor can he deny the made up Congressional districts in which made up jobs appeared, Soetoro admitted that he lied about jobs. No he didn’t say that he lied, and he didn’t admit that he was wrong about everything, he did just the opposite. Soetoro pretended like his economic policies worked but at the same time he's called for a jobs summit.
What does calling for a Jobs Summit mean? It means that Soetoro's economic stimulus failed. It means that his economy stimulus did not create the jobs that he said it would. Calling for a jobs summit is an admission that what he's done didn't work, it is an admission that Soetoro lied.
He’s finally realizing that government cannot produce the jobs that are needed to help the economy grow. Astonishingly, in true Orwellian doublethink and in full knowledge of the fact he is wrongly taking credit for none existent improvements in the economy Soetoro continues his false jobs creation rhetoric while at the same time calling for a jobs summit to create the jobs that his 787 billion stimulus didn't. (see 3:28 min video)
But it’s much more than a jobs summit, it’s an open acknowledgement that the Barry Hussein Soetoro administration’s philosophy that Government is the solution to all of America’s problems is totally wrong. It is also an acknowledgement that this present course in 700 billion dollars in bailouts, 787 billion dollars in stimulus spending, 1 trillion dollars in health care reform and trillions of dollars in global warming cost is unsustainable.
Although president Soetoro will never say straightforwardly that he is wrong about jobs,that he is wrong about the economy and he is wrong about everything that he and Democrat have done up to and including this point, he did acknowledge that the stimulus has not worked and that the government cannot create enough jobs to save this economy.
"The tension we've been seeing is that what is good for the longer term may not work as an immediate short-term stimulus. We're still getting slapped around in the Recovery Act for this.A fix will only come from the private sector. This is exactly what Conservatives and Republicans have been saying all along and as Soetoro now acknowledges true economic recovery is only going to come from the private sector so the 787 billion dollars that Democrats voted to give to themselves was a fraud perpetrated on the American people in the name of jobs creation. All of the promises were lies. (see 1:39min video)
The term 'shovel-ready' -- let's be honest, it doesn't always live up to its billing."—president Barry Hussein Soetoro (see source)
"While I believe that government has a critical role in creating the conditions for economic growth, ultimately, true economic recovery is only going to come from the private sector.
We don't have enough public dollars to fill the hole of private dollars that was created as a consequence of the crisis. It is only when the private sector starts to reinvest again; only when our businesses start hiring again and people start spending again and families start seeing improvement in their own lives again, that we're going to have the kind of economy that we want,"—president Barry Hussein Soetoro
You see the 787 billion dollar stimulus was never about saving or creating jobs,if it was it was a miserable failure. It was so bad that president Soetoro had to call for a Jobs Summit.
The Jobs Summit is proof that the Congress and the president were derelict in their duties and they defrauded the American people. Something to think about for the 2010 and 2012 elections.
Please provide the quote where President Obama says that unemployment won't rise above 8%.
ReplyDeleteHow did I know that you'd come out of the woodwork on this post! And how did I know that you'd attempt to use one of your old "quote me this" tricks to attempt to defer from the rest of the argument.
ReplyDeleteYou're getting sooooo predicable it's funny. This post must have hit home though because you come here every day but only attempt to attack points that you think you can win. And every time I supply what you ask for you always deny it or attempt to find something wrong with it.
So let's do this why don't you supply me with a way to idenify you; a website, a email address, something so that we all can see what kind of person slinks around in total anonyomy demanding proofs and defending the indefensible.
To be fair let's have some info about you. Humm?
You're the one with the blog, not me.
ReplyDeleteOnce again, you really have no proof of your statements. It's total nonsense, as usual.
This President inherited a royal mess of a situation, you do the country no good with spurious allegations and downright b.s.
Please provide the quote where President Obama says that unemployment won't rise above 8%.
So you refuse to idenify yourself. As I stated in the past you have shown yourself to be a liar and a fraud and I owe you no explaination or proof. You don't really want it.
ReplyDeleteYour sole purpose is to attempt to shill for Obama and attack anyone who exposes Obama for the fraud that he is.
Your tactics have be exposed here I know what you're doing and it's not working.
By the way, you should know by now that I don't post what I can't back up. And you've never ever proven anything different!
And though I don't owe you proof once again I'm going to crush you with the proof that you've requested.
The $787 billion stimulus plan is turning out to be far less stimulating than its architects expected.
Back in early January, when Barack Obama was still President-elect, two of his chief economic advisers — leading proponents of a stimulus bill — predicted that the passage of a large economic-aid package would boost the economy and keep the unemployment rate below 8%. It hasn't quite worked out that way. Last month, the jobless rate in the U.S. hit 9.5%, the highest level it has reached since 1983.

Now I'll expect you to attempt to discredit TIME magazine or attempt to disqualify this in some incredulous way.
Now once again you have be totally discredited now slink back into the anonymy and black hole from which you've come.
Fino alla volta!
The headline screams "Obama Admits He Lied About Jobs!"
ReplyDeleteYour text reads: "He promised 400,000 to 3.5 million jobs and that unemployment would not rise above 8%."
So where is the quote from the President with this promise? Not from advisors, who didn't promise anything, as you write. A prediction is not a promise. If you meant his advisors, you would've printed such. Where is the quote from the President with his promise?
And where were you when the previous President was burying the country into mountains of debt?
Why is it so hard for you to just stick to the facts?
"Not from advisors"
ReplyDeleteBoy you're hilarious!!!! We'll let the readers decide if your arguments are substainable.
Geez... you're so predictable! LOL
Here's what the President really said:
ReplyDeletePresident Obama Predicts Unemployment Will Hit 10% This Year
http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2009/06/president-obama-predicts-unemployment-will-hit-10-this-year.html
The fantasy world Of our government is right there in black & white, folks.
ReplyDeleteFirst, note that the top newspaper clipping is two months and 600,000 lost jobs ago.
Try replacing the name Øbama with Bush, the number with 4.8% and the word "Stimulus" with "tax cuts" and you'll have the glaring bias demonstrated by the LMSM when they lambasted W for such a "high" number during the bulk of his presidency. Now, when we need an aggressive media most, they're too busy excoriating the tea parties and bowing at the altar of Socialism.
You can easily replace the top line with "3/5ths of Americans doubt Global Warming", then the Obama line "The consensus is clear..."
Or same statistic for Obamacare, then Zero BSing us about an unprecedented demand for the Marxist government takeover of Medicine.
We're through the looking glass and I don't see it going much further without a full-on citizen's rev
Back with your little democrat talking points huh? Well the fact is Soetoro is noted for speaking on both sides of the facts. So pointing out something he said is no proof. As he
ReplyDeletewill contradict whatever he says with the next time he speaks. Everyone knows this.
Now the fact that his administration claimed that unemployment would remain below 8% is Soetoro saying that unemployment will remain below 8%. You’ve conceded
much when you said, “Not from advisors, who didn't promise anything, as you write.”
The fact is Soetoro’s advisors did in fact promise unemployment will remain below 8%!
The fact that the president didn’t rebuke Joe Biden who he appointed as point man on the economy when Biden’s office released a report stating that with the 787 billion dollars stimulus unemployment would remain under 8% (see source below)
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/06/14/biden-says-guessed-wrong-unemployment-numbers/
… the Obama administration said in January that unemployment would not top 8% this year if the stimulus was approved. see source below
http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-unemployment7-2009nov07,0,5935198.story
I’ve seen the Democrat sites talking about debunking Obama said 8% (the sites that you visit!) but the fact of the matter is, as I have proven over and over again, that the Soetoro administration represented to the country that if the 787 billion dollars stimulus was passed unemployment would remain under 8%.
Soetoro’s spokesmouths said it and he didn’t correct it or refute it at the time but only adjusted upwards after it became apparent to all that the experts in his administration don’t know what they are talking about.
Don't even attempt to weasel out of this one buddy Obama deceived the country by allowing the country to believe that unemployment would not exceed 8% a claim that his administration made and a claim that you acknowledged they made and if his administration made it he made it!
Newsflash: a prediction is not a promise.
ReplyDeleteObama has said again and again and again since he won the election that it was going to take quite some time to turn unemployment figures around. Back in January, through the spring and summer, it was always: "don't be surprised it if hits ten percent." This is not news. The
message has been consistent.
You're bringing up Bush? Who on earth got us into this mess?!!!!
Obama is going be mopping up Bush's mess into 2011. You expect him to be able to clean up this thing in less than a year? That's reasonable to you?
If McCain and Palin were in the the White House, this country would be in a great depression and personal investment accounts would still be in the crapper.
Have fun at the tea party.
Newsflash: a prediction is not a promise.
ReplyDeleteSo you readily admit that the Soetoro administration "predicted" unemployment under 8% if the 787 Billion dollar stimulus package was passed.
And you acknowledge that Joe Biden's frantic explainations why the administration's "predictions" where... let's see how did he term it, that "Everyone guessed wrong."
So according to Biden the Soetoro White House was guessing on the job numbers?
Either way, prediction or guess clear incompetence when the Soetoro administration was told that spending 787 billion dollars on Democrat projects, kickbacks and political favors would not create jobs.
And to prove it the Soetoro administration is trying just now to create the jobs they promised last summer.
Now do you want to argue if they promised to create jobs last summer?
A prediction is not a promise, but predictions are used to deceive the public. We can argue over this till the cows come home, but where are the jobs?.
ReplyDeleteYou can call Barry a liar or a deceiver. Either way, Barry is nothing but dishonest and cannot be trusted to do anythig right. Barry and his merry band of Democrat idiots in DC can't seem
to be honest about anything. Everything they try
to do is under false pretenses.
These Democrat idiots need to realize that not all of us can see things from their point of view. It would seem very difficult to stick ones
head where the sun doesn't shine.
