Oh brother. With the US unemployment at a record 10.2% President Obama now claims,
“We have saved or created one million jobs.”

in the real world Barack Obama’s failed policies have seen unemployment rise to a 26 year high.
This unemployment graph shows what Barack Obama promised the American people back in February if his record Stimulus Package was passed and the actual results of his disastrous economic policies:
obama unemployment3
Obama promised his stimulus plan would create 3.7 million new jobs.
Instead America has lost 3.6 million jobs.

More… Stung by recent job loss numbers Obama will hold a jobs summit with labor leaders and business reps.
Labor leaders– That’s the ticket.

    Well sure. He created the “or saved” part of the phrase. He can use that forever and no one can prove otherwise. Every time he uses it though, more people who voted for him wince and roll their eyes…and I totally dig that.

    Sure, TrickyDick, he may be talking about jobs created in China. Or maybe he means that he could have f***ed things up even more than he has, causing another million layoffs. Instead, he dodged that bullet and VOILA! a million jobs were saved.

    To understand his BS, you gotta’ think creatively.

    Liars figure and figures lie. Whatever the real number is, and it’s less than half what he invented, most of them are government jobs which, like everything else he’s done or is trying to do, we’re paying for.

    Every two weeks I get a check($44) that is clearly labeled THIS FEDERAL ADDITIONAL COMPENSATION (FAC) CHECK IS BEING ISSUED TO YOU AS A SUPPLEMENTAL UNEMPLOYMENT AS ENACTED IN THE AMERICAN RECOVERY AND REINVESTMENT ACT OF 2009.

    Clearly funds are being used to keep me in my current employment, thus saving, or creating 1 job. With these checks being issued, every single individual check issued in this method can be counted as a saved or created job.

    It doesn’t matter to the mulatto mendacity that my current job is being unemployed, I’m being paid for doing it with stimulus funds.

    Hey, according to this extremely persuasive article, for every 1 job created by the stimulus, the stimulus has also destroyed 4 jobs. Source: http://www.realclearmarkets.com/articles/2009/11/11/more_stimulus_equals_more_unemployment_97503.html

    This means that when Obama claims his policies have “created or saved” a million jobs, he’s admitting that his policies have destroyed 4 million, right?

    One of the most common fallacies of logic is the hasty generalization. I can appear to prove that every time I clap my hands the sun will go down.

    The democrats still use this fallacious reasoning by claiming that Bill Clinton was responsible for the surplus when in fact it is more likely people like Bill Gates and other tech entrepreneurs that had far more to do with it.

    We should accept the fact that future history has already been written; Obama, the new FDR, saved our economy. Although his efforts fail miserably time and again the economy will eventually pull itself up by the bootstraps.

    That’s what this ‘jobs saved’ is all about. They are simply instilling a claim for future pundits to have something to mask the reality that this clueless administration’s policies were a miserable failure by creating the impression that they ’saved’ total collapse. They will hold to this until the economy begins to recover on its own despite their attempts to kill it. Then at that time they will claim that their policies are working as they intended all along…. like Pee Wee Herman crashing his bike.. “I meant to do that”.

    But the future history has already been determined.

    if the number of first time filers for unemployment each month is on average of 600,000, then wouldn’t this mean we have an estimated 6 million jobs lost?

    Nothing shows that these people have found jobs. If anything, the Congress extending unemployment benefits for up to 2 years means that they haven’t.
