Mr. Fratto sees a double standard at play. “We would never have used a formula like ’save or create,’” he tells me. “To begin with, the number is pure fiction — the administration has no way to measure how many jobs are actually being ’saved.’ And if we had tried to use something this flimsy, the press would never have let us get away with it.”
Of course, the inability to measure Mr. Obama’s jobs formula is part of its attraction. Never mind that no one — not the Labor Department, not the Treasury, not the Bureau of Labor Statistics — actually measures “jobs saved.” As the New York Times delicately reports, Mr. Obama’s jobs claims are “based on macroeconomic estimates, not an actual counting of jobs.” Nice work if you can get away with it.
Sarah Palin hits FOXNEWS tonight for the big 'Told Ya So' interview, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.
As President Obama vows to spend the 'stimulus' faster, Governor Palin tells host Sean Hannity: 'You gotta quit digging that hole!'

HANNITY: What do you make of – look at the state of the economy now...
PALIN: Well, when you consider that the federal government is about eleven trillion dollars in debt, and we’re borrowing more to spend more.. it defies any sensible economic policy that any of us ever learned through college. It defies economy practices and principles that tell ya ‘you gotta quit digging that hole when you are in that financial hole’ (more...)
“The White House estimates that the government will rack up an unprecedented $1.8 trillion budget deficit this year – more than four times last year’s all-time high.”
“But this and other big government spending programs are turning out to have the opposite effect. Rates for mortgages and U.S. Treasury debt are now marching higher as nervous bond investors fret about a resurgence of inflation.”
“When there are few clouds in the sky, temperatures typically are warmer, Spencer said, and when it is cloudy outside, conditions typically are cooler.
Is it possible then, Spencer asked, that decreasing clouds in recent decades caused the warmings recorded on Earth?
Spencer said he asked the IPCC about this and was surprised to learn that the organization had not researched this point and had assumed that cloud cover does not change over time but is fairly consistent.”
Beginning now, the Liberty Stream community will be able to nominate their favorite socialist/fascist/spread-the-wealth moment of the week! It can be something President Obama did or said himself… or you can cull your day-to-day experiences for an Obammie moment.
For example, maybe your kid’s teacher decides everyone tried really, really hard and gives every student an “A.” That’d be a perfect thing to nominate. Then I will choose the weekly winner of the coveted Obammie. As of right now, the only prize for winning an Obammie is the self-confidence that comes with being able to accurately spot Obammie moments. But maybe soon, actual prizes may enter the picture. I know… exciting.
To nominate your own Obammie moment, comment on this post, and check back in soon to see which Obammie moment rose to the top and took the cake! But don’t worry, in true Obama-style, we’ll be sharing the cake equally with all.
