Default OT-Obama's imaginary jobs

More than ten percent of the jobs the Obama administration has claimed were

the Associated Press.

http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/ma...-Stimulus.html

Congressional Districts That Don't Exist:

Here's a stimulus success story: In Arizona's 15th congressional district,
30 jobs have been saved or created with just $761,420 in federal stimulus
spending. At least that's what the Web site set up by the Obama
administration to track the $787 billion stimulus says.
There's one problem, though: There is no 15th congressional district in
Arizona; the state has only eight districts

In Connecticut's 42nd district (which also does not exist), the Web site
claims 25 jobs created with zero stimulus dollars.

The list of spending and job creation in fictional congressional districts
extends to U.S. territories as well.

$68.3 million spent and 72.2 million spent in the 1st congressional
district of the U.S. Virgin Islands.

$8.4 million spent and 40.3 jobs created in the 99th congressional district
of the U.S. Virgin Islands.

$1.5 million spent and .3 jobs created in the 69th district and $35 million
for 142 jobs in the 99th district of the Northern Mariana Islands.

$47.7 million spent and 291 jobs created in Puerto Rico's 99th
congressional district.

Well, that sort of matches the imaginary terror attacks that the last
president claimed to stop... Did you accept those at face value?

Oh, hell. The "terrorists" are sitting over there in their yurts, watching
satellite TV, laughing their asses off as they watch the Washington DC
regime do more damage to America than any number of "terrorists" could
even dream of doing.

Thanks,

The slightly less dangerous terrorists there are called "Republicans".
Next are the local D.C. police, then the "lobbyists", and then "think
tankers".
