Thank God Obama "Saved" Jobs
Too few have looked critically at the 640,329 jobs the Obama White House reported as “saved or created” by the Stimulus. Those who looked have been left incredulous by the many examples of world-class exaggeration, distortion, and bureaucratic bungling -- just in time for the unemployment rate to soar to 10.2%.
Thank God Obama “Saved” Jobs
By Asher Embry
Barack and Joe on Friday raved
About the million jobs they “saved.”
A closer look and you will see
What Webster’s calls: hyperbole.
Wanna see a good example?
Evidence is clear and ample.
$1000 bucks to cut the lawn
“Saves” 50 jobs? That’s quite a con!
And how could $15,000 grease
The way to “save” 5-score police?
$900 draws the biggest hoots:
Nine jobs “created” making boots.
Don’t trust this count from Joe the Vice,
We know some jobs were counted twice.
And many “saved” jobs, people say,
Were really just a raise in pay.
Some jobs they “saved” were threatened but
They’d never really have been cut.
Still others “saved” more jobs by far
Than they admit there even are.
And typos caused the count to grow
By thousands more, as now we know.
So, all in all, what we can state:
This White House sure can obfuscate.
Who’d ever think they’d get away
With counting “saved” jobs anyway?
The ruse could only work this well
With Press still deep in ‘Bama’s spell.
Perhaps that spell is broken when
Our unemployment’s over 10.

Isn't your title a bit redundant?

Here is a song about why:
The new Age of Aquarius
The Age of Dependency (To the tune of that great song from the 5th Dimension)
When Rahm is in the Lincoln Bedroom
And Harry Reid aligns with Mars
Then Barak will guide the masses
And Dodd will steal the stars
This is the dawning of the age of dependency,
The age of dependency,
Dependency, dependency.
Taxation and confiscation
Stimulus and hope abounding
No more freedom and dissention
Golden free healthcare delusions
Mystic Nobel ordination
And your income redistribution
Dependency, dependency
When Rahm is in the Lincoln Bedroom,
And Pelosi aligns with Mars,
Then Barak will guide the masses
And Rangel will steal the stars.
This is the dawning of the age of dependency,
The age of dependency,
Dependency, dependency.
Pay more taxes….., pay more taxes now
More taxes….now
Give your savings…...give your savings now
Your savings…..now
They deserve it…….they deserve it more
Yes more…..than you
Pay more taxes….., pay more taxes now
More taxes….now
Give your savings…...give your savings now
Your savings…..now
They deserve it…….they deserve it more
Yes more…..than you
Pay more taxes….., pay more taxes now
More taxes….now
Give your savings…...give your savings now
Your savings…..now
They deserve it…….they deserve it more
Yes more…..than you

Kaine tucked this comment in on the Today Show the other day, and it was so stunning, I wasn't even sure I heard it right, but yep, out of the mouths of babes:
"...what we're seeing is a president who has dramatically cut the job loss rate from where it was under the Bush administration..."
Another case of: "...keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it.” Thanks, Adolph.
