Oh Yeah? Well My Plan...

...will save or create (in my mind) at least one trillion jobs

(CNN) -- As the nation's unemployment rate inches toward double-digit territory, the White House insists that job creation is on the way.

Vice President Joe Biden on Monday is presenting to President Obama the "Roadmap to Recovery," a plan to accelerate the implementation of the $787 billion stimulus plan in its second 100 days.

Obama signed into law the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act in February, vowing the program would create or save 3.5 million jobs. So far, 150,000 jobs have been saved or created by the plan -- fewer than that 345,000 jobs lost in May alone.

The White House says as a result of the expedited pace, the recovery plan will create or save more than 600,000 jobs in the second 100 days.

So there.

Notice how they say with a straight face that "So far, 150,000 jobs have been saved or created by the plan" even though there's absolutely no data to support this, and one might *think* that their very next line, "fewer than that(sic) 345,000 jobs lost in May alone", might make them maybe kind of sorta perhaps question the One's math.

But really, trust me on this: I will create or save, my option, One Trillion Jobs.

Or not.

Liar.

Your plan will create or save no more than 787 billion jobs.

You had your pinkie pressed against the corner of your mouth when you said one TRILLION, didn't you?

C'mon, fess up.

So Mr. President, who's going to maintain the funding of these jobs you created when the porkulus money runs out?

Think that question would make Obama look like a deer in headlights?

Think that question would make Obama look like a deer in headlights?

The rest of the MSM reporters would tackle any reporter asking that, and drag the poor soul out of the room to a horrible fate before Obama had to answer.
