Why is the White House refusing to provide any actual facts to prove they “saved or created” a million jobs?
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090910/ap_on_go_pr_wh...
The only thing they offer is a “report that economists cautioned was preliminary and uncertain”
Where are these jobs?
How about ANY specifics?
Is there any proof that anything Obama did led to these amazing occurrences?
Are these all temp jobs?
Does anyone care about facts anymore?
Were these jobs “saved or created” in China and Mexico?
Is this another example of White House “fuzzy math” like the promised 8% unemployment and 600K jobs created by the end of the summer?
Update:Yo Bobby, you suggest proof of every job saved would be too time comsuming. How about ANY proof? With your logic Obama could say he saved 10 million jobs and you would believe it.

Simple.
They have no data to support the claim that he saved 150,000 jobs in the first quarter.
They have no data that supports the claim that his plans created 600,000 new jobs this summer. That is outside of the czars and their staff...which have yet to do anything positive for this country other than helping the current administration spend more tax payer dollars on growing government.
One thing to keep in mind is that the AP, CNN, BBC, Reuters, ABC, CBS, NBC, NPR and plenty of other media agencies will never ask the white house for factual data to support these claims.
Do you want the names and occupations of every job "created" with a certificate stating that this job was 'created by President Obama'???
COME ON... NOBODY HAS EVER HAD TO DO THAT!!!
That's what economists and those kinds of experts do.... they study the information and make an intelligent theory about where would've have been WITHOUT the stimulus and where we are WITH it.
I guess Bush's "White House" PROMISED to send our economy into deep recession.. and damn near depression...?
Bush's White House PROMISED to raise poverty levels, foreclosures and homelessness over the span if Presidency???
NO... That's why the economy is IMPOSSIBLE to figure out...
EDIT: DID YOU READ THE REPORT? DID YOU STUDY THE INFORMATION THEY CITE? WOULD YOU EVEN UNDERSTAND IT????
I think by the very logic of keeping our BANKING institutions afloat, millions of jobs WERE probably saved. The collapse of banking would have been a disaster beyond anything I would probably ever have seen in my lifetime.
It's all in Theroy... like what if Bill Buckner caught that ground ball and tagged first in 1986
