And people wonder if the all the negative attitudes against Obama are race related.

You may be correct. Half the criticism is white and the other half is black!

So I need a little math help here as I'm not used to working with billions, whats that figure out to, around several, perhaps hundreds of millions of stimulus dollars...per job? What do these jobs pay? If they pay anything near what it cost to save them I want one!

Sooo what happens to all the jobs that were "saved" when the stimulus money runs out???

It seems like obama wants to build government jobs. My guess is to secure a strong following. It is hard to turn on your pay check.

Obama needs his math checked.

It adds up...I mean if you graduated from Pinko Punahou. Amazing how the baby-boomers ruined that school and bought Reyne's shirts.

The draft is coming soon.

using an extreme calculator that would be over $620,000 per job created at the tax payers expense

http://canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/...

michelle obama has 26 personal assistants, costing the American tax payer about $1,750,000!!!

This figure does not include benefits.

The highest paid assistant makes over $170,0000!!!

Aren't we in one of the worst economic times in our history???

And this is how the obama's spend our tax money???

Keep in mind that many of the first ladies only had one or two assistants.

Michelle feels entitled to 26!

By whose prediction? Even the White House is telling us that the unemployment rate will hit 10% and probably stay there.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/rj-eskow/tone-d...

While using this article to prove the point, it's also odd that the writer, RJ Eskow, is actually asking the architects of this fiasco why they won't "do something" to fix it. Is he kidding? That's like asking Hinkley why he didn't treat Reagans gun shot wound.

The deficit has tripled in 10 months and this administration wants to spend another $1 trillion+ on pie in the sky idealism. Every prediction they've made as to the positive effects of their stimulus monies on the economy have blown up in their faces. All they got was an artificial bump in the 3rd quarter GDP. Big whoop! I'm no fan of the republicans, but this is insanity.

Nobody is predicting jobs coming back.

Well, he did go into office saying the national wealth need to be redistributed...he just didn't say to whom it would be distributed. Now we know :-(

nope. corrected a typo & made the comment about myself, tnx.

•The police department in Plymouth, Conn., claimed in its report that a $15,355 grant used to buy new computers had created or saved 108 jobs. The department had 22 law enforcement officers last year, according to the FBI. Mayor Vincent Festa said that the town has resorted to "counting paper clips" to save money but that it had no plans to lay off any of its police officers, even without the stimulus. He said he could not explain the report, and the town's police chief did not return telephone calls Monday.

•The Southwest Georgia Community Action Council, which employs about 500 people in its Head Start preschool program, reported creating or saving 935 jobs with about $1.3 million in funding. Beverly Wise, the group's fiscal officer, said she followed the advice of federal officials to come up with the number. "I thought it was high," Wise said of the number she reported, adding that the process was confusing. The group is using its stimulus money to give a 1.84% pay raise to its employees and pay for other needs such as playground equipment and training for the teachers who serve 2,300 low-income children.

•Teach for America, which helps place recent graduates in teaching jobs in urban and rural districts, reported that a $2 million grant created or saved 1,425 jobs. Spokeswoman Kerci Marcello Stroud said officials used that money to pay part of the salaries of 125 employees; a separate $6 million allowed it to expand the training program to include 1,300 more graduates.
