The White House said...

...that if we passed the $787 billion stimulus that by september this year unemployment would be below 7.6% and that if we didn't pass the stimulus unemployment would reach 9.5%. Well, guess what...the White House, the government, the Experts, the bureaucrats were wrong.

There are your numbers Prez Bo. But don't worry, Mr President because you have professional spin doctors and a populace of myrmidons who will hang on your every word (cause if they don't, they're racists) See, politicians like the President know that if the economy improves they can take credit for it by citing the stimulus and if it doesn't improve, well, then they can say that the stimulus wasn't big enough and that another is needed...wait, they've already started discussing it. Yes, my friends (drum-roll, please) a Second Stimulus! So, you see they can't lose. They can spin it however they like and all the looters out there - statists, welfare recipients and the Obama-is-so-awesome-cause-he's-so,- well- awesome crowd - will lap the spin right up.

But the facts are that they were wrong about the first stimulus and this next one will be no different! And healthcare and the costs associated with it? Don't worry everyone, those numbers are solid.

Yeah, right.
