SORRY, MR. PRESIDENT, IT WASN'T MUCH, AND IT WASN'T YOU

Steve Cole reports:

Yesterday, the jobless figures came out, and guess what, we ONLY lost 500,000 jobs in April, not the 600,000 of previous months. This was heralded as GOOD news. Well, at least it's not quite so bad as it has been, but it's bad. At best, it's not getting worse as fast as it was.

Of the 100,000 "saved" jobs, 66,000 are temporary two-year jobs to conduct the census.

President Obama insists that his "Stimulus Bill" gets the credit, despite the fact that only $33 billion has actually been spent (out of about $390 billion of actual stimulus and $390 billion of worthless feel-good-but-do-nothing programs that reward the groups that supported Obama and move the country closer to socialism). No, Mister President, it wasn't you, it was some temporary jobs (the hiring for which  was scheduled about 200 years ago).

Let's face it, we all know that...
1. Spending your way out of a recession has never worked.
2. Half of the stimulus bill was not stimulus.
3. The economy was going to turn around sooner or later anyway.
4. You were going to TAKE credit for it when it happened. Could you at least wait until the economy turns around before you take credit?
