Obama Math: 599,108 jobs counts as two million


Obama said this during his State of the Union speech:

"because of the steps we took, there are about two million Americans working right now who would otherwise be unemployed."

 Meanwhile at recovery.gov, we see this as the job tally:

Recovery Funded Job
Reported by Recipients
 October 1 - December 31, 2009

599,108

Job calculations are based on
the number of hours worked in a quarter
and funded under the Recovery Act.

That my friends, is Obama math!

  1. Now if Obama can put his math skills to do the financial statements of the big banks, we'll be in business!

  2. Oh he'll have an apt follow-up for you which will leave you convinced at you are mistaken.

    His performance at the GOP Q&A session was a master-class to all aspiring politicians/debaters/PR spokespersons/salesman (snake oil) etc.

  5. I'm in a love-hate relationship with virtual memory because of how prices are always,and I mean always dropping. I hate buying Micro SD Cards for my R4 / R4i at (seemingly) a cheap price only to see it become ten percent cheaper a couple of months later.
