What Happened While Barack Was 'Saving and Creating'

National unemployment rate the month that the stimulus was signed into law: 8.1 percent. National unemployment rate today: 9.4 percent.

Nonetheless, the president was out this morning promising another 600,000 jobs “created or saved” this summer, and touting the 150K jobs he’s already allegedly “created or saved.” “Now we’re in a position to really accelerate,” Obama said. “Dear God, no!” one could hear the unemployment rate squealing softly in the distance, if one listened closely enough.
