White House.jpgAfter days of speculation, the White House produced the magic number for jobs created or saved courtesy of the stimulus. The exact total so far is 640,329 jobs. You can debate whether or not that number indicates the stimulus is doing enough to alleviate the unemployment problem, but you can’t debate how many jobs the administration is taking credit for. There should be no confusion along those lines.

Vice President Joe Biden, flanked by the governors of California and Maryland at the White House, said the stimulus actually had had a larger impact on the work force.
“So far we’ve created over a million jobs,” Biden said

    When you say beat my dog, are you going to do it with a leather tasseled whip?

    To Dealbreaker:
    Do not FUCK with me. I will destroy you like I did with FoxNews & edmunds.com… If I say I created 1 MILLION jobs, then I did… and if you don’t agree with me, I will send Mad Max up to NY to deal with you.

    Data includes blow jobs given to liberal media mavens.

    The secret behind their numbers is the inclusion of the “jobs saved” bit. So, for example, the hypovehiculation of Van Jones is offset by the “reassignment” of Yosi Sargent. Still unknown is whether they are including Manuel Zelaya in the mix.

    640,329? I can only assume I was 640,330 as I collect my unemployment check. Hope I have some Change left in my pocket at the end of the week!
