I wonder if anyone outside the ranks of Obamania really thought the numbers were true to begin with?

Here’s a stimulus success story: In Arizona’s 15th congressional district, 30 jobs have been saved or created with just $761,420 in federal stimulus spending. At least that’s what the Web site set up by the Obama administration to track the $787 billion stimulus says.

There’s one problem, though: There is no 15th congressional district in Arizona; the state has only eight districts.

And ABC News has found many more entries for projects like this in places that are incorrectly identified.

Late Monday, officials with the Recovery Board created to track the stimulus spending, said the mistakes in crediting nonexistent congressional districts were caused by human error.

“We report what the recipients submit to us,” said Ed Pound, Communications Director for the Board.

Which immediately begs the question: who was it in the “15th district” who reported to the White House?

Anyways, the whole story about the stimulus has been bogus from the start – the money wasn’t ever intended to do anything other than payoff political cronies. Tack up a sign on an already planned road construction progress, call it “stimulus” and have at it.

We have to take it as a given that anything stated by this White House is false unless verified by at least one outside source – the mendacity we’ve seen since day one of Obama has become just too obvious.
