The Dear Leader And The Phony Jobs "Created" Or "Saved"

It is amazing, not surprising, but amazing that the Dear Leader, President Obama, and his administration has fudged so much on the the jobs "created" or "saved" as a direct result of the so-called economic "stimulus" scam that even the Obamawhore media is doing some work on this.
In this interactive map over at the Washington Examiner, we see where in the United States the jobs "created" or "saved" were, well rather inflated.
Here is one of my favorites. This is from the Southwest Georgia Community Action Council:

The Southwest Georgia Community Action Council claimed to have saved 935 jobs with the $1.3 million it received, even though only 508 people work there. In fact, the group used most of its grant to give raises and now says it created 9.35 jobs.

Hmm, what exactly is a .35 job? And are you laughing at how almost double the jobs were "created". Yes, they were created. In fact, they were made up.
In Kentucky, this shoe store owner knows how to "create" jobs from $889 bucks:

A shoe-store owner claimed he created nine jobs on an $889.60 contract. In fact, he supplied nine pairs of shoes to the Army Corps of Engineers.

WOW! Almost a hundred bucks for each job, er pair of shoes, this owner "created".
If that is not enough, over at www.recovery.gov, we find that there that there are a lot more congressional districts than the 435 we have been told exist.
Maybe the Republicans really do control the House of Representatives and they just do not know it.
Thanks to ABC News, they did some digging and found that according to recovery.gov, there is a 15th congressional district in Arizona. Now I know that Arizona's population has been growing. But, there are only eight congressional districts in all of Arizona.
As the Slap Chop guy would say, but wait! There's more!
In the Connecticut's 42nd congressional district, there were 25 jobs created with no stimulus money. Of course not! Because there is NOT a 42nd congressional district in Connecticut!
Even the United States Virgin Islands territory is not spared this indignity:

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

Again, there is that .3 business. Oh, and there are not 99 congressional districts in the United States Virgin Islands. In fact, the lone representative is a non-voting member of congress.
But, hey, don't let that stand in the way of a whopper of a story!
And that is the problem with the whole so-called economic "stimulus" story. There is little if any proof that the Dear Leader, President Obama, and his minions have created or saved one job as a direct result of the government spending. Especially when the unemployment numbers in the United States continue to worsen.
Maybe if the administration would try to loosen the governmental grip and continue the Bush 43 tax cuts, that will expire next year, and seek new tax cuts, there would be money in the private sector and the confidence to expand private businesses.
But, that would mean taking off the ideological blinders. Something that the Dear Leader, President Obama, will not do.
In the mean time, glad to see the Obamawhore media finally doing its job. Maybe they can find all the missing members of congress from these districts.
