EDITOR OF REDSTATE

Today Barack Obama healed 5 lepers, pooped enough gold to pay off the national debt, then patented cold fusion

This administration habitually lies about its successes to such an extent it is hard for anyone to keep up with what is real and what is fabricated.

It is increasingly clear that the Barack Obama Administration just makes stuff up and expects no one to catch them.

Jake Tapper, however, caught one whopper today.

TAPPER: All right. Just to follow up, I looked at your “100 Days, 100 Projects” booklet yesterday, and the very first one says, quote, “Using $27 million of Recovery Act funding a public housing development in D.C., the Regency House, has undergone a green retrofit. As part of this upgrade, the building installed solar panels, green roof, rainwater collection system, energy-efficient lighting, as well as water-conserving toilets, showerheads and faucets.” But when I called the D.C. Housing Authority, they said only $59,000 was spent of stimulus money, not $27 million, and of these seven things mentioned, only two of the seven were actually done

GIBBS: I think the mistake — mistake in that one, as you blogged about earlier, took a series of different projects in a cut- and-paste into one.

TAPPER: OK. So it wasn’t as clear and — it wasn’t as accurate as it could have been?

GIBBS: I — I think that’s accurate to say, yes.

But how many mistakes will be allowed before the media recognizing the administration has decided to serially lie?

Just yesterday Barack Obama claimed his stimulus package “saved or created nearly 100 — 150,000 jobs” when in reality 16,000 jobs have been lost every single day since the stimulus was passed.

Was the “saved or created” statement cut and pasted onto the Teleprompter? was it a mistake or a lie? Because it certainly is not true.

    Wayne Bent’s followers remind me a whole bunch of those Obama voters.

    Elizabeth Edwards is to John as the MSM is to Barry.

    True or False?

    Answer True. Screwed only as needed, lied to as necessary and totally reliable to fabricate their own justification for tolerating both.

    the big zero is right and the stimulus package has created 100,000 jobs….

    Do the math. 800 billion divided by 100,000….

    equals:

    $8,000,000 per job.

    We’re saved.

    absolutely expect to see it as a real headline someday in the mainstream media’s coverage of the anointed one.

    “Well, Bush would have lost 1,000,000 jobs and I lost 600,000 jobs so didn’t I really save 400,000 jobs?

    Next day’s headline, “Obama saves 400,000 jobs, Dow up.”

    It’s all good in utopia.

    He and Michelle both walked on water. What they won’t tell you is that it was only two inches deep.

    Sorry, I have problem to use that holy name to a corrupt and gaffeistic POTUS.

    As long as 3,000,000 Americans still have jobs, The One can tout that his “stimulus” was a success because he was able to “create or save” 3M jobs (talk about your double weasel-speak).

    The truth is, by the time Barry is done with us, there will only be about 3M people with jobs in America, and they’ll all be government.

    He won, afterall.

    Yeah, I’d say that’s just a tad inaccurate Jake.
