Obama Hails Phony Stimulus Jobs as Faux GDP Boon

by Scott Ott for ScrappleFace · 5 Comments · · Print This Story Print This Story

President Obama on Friday hailed the “amazing growth” in phony stimulus jobs, especially from nonexistent congressional districts, as a “sure sign that we’re seeing a make-believe recovery and an encouraging spurt in faux GDP.”

Faux gross domestic product usually trails other false economic indicators, the president said, but with projected unemployment plummeting, the federal government’s top alleged experts predict ill-founded consumer confidence will bounce back “before the end of the year at the latest, and quite possibly before supper time tonight.”

    Obama probably found jobs for all of those "phantom" voters that helped him get elected, too…

    The following is from the "Palin Book" thread. It was off topic there, but it fits here.

    I must be physic (sp), -or maybe just psycho?


    Sarah Is in Indiana today. Now that I have addressed the thread, —-I had a "off topic" thought about the government website that has all those districts that have received stimulus money and no one knows about them or where they are at. I think I know.

    They are probably in those "extra" 7 to 9 States that Obama talked about pre election!

    I find it amazing that most libs think the Bible is filled with, (in their words), fairy tales, yet they will believe Obama can give us all free heath care that will pay for itself and "won't add a dime" to the deficit.

    That would be a miracle on the same scale as those that Jesus performed!

    I DO believe Jesus CAN do anything, but NOT "Barry", and this analogy pretty much proves that there are MANY Obama-bots" out there that DO worship him!!!

    Jesus/GOD has PROVEN HIS miracles time and again, while "Barry" cannot even keep his word or ANY promise, unless it is to his evil minions!!!
