Yeah, they also said the stimulus would keep the unemployment rate below 8 percent.
The United States is likely to average 95,000 more jobs each month this year, while personal savings will remain high as credit remains tight, according to a White House report released Thursday.
The Council of Economic Advisers also trumpeted the $787 billion economic stimulus package, which it said has saved or created about 2 million jobs.
In a message to Congress, President Obama pointed out that the economy he inherited was losing 700,000 jobs each month.
“I can report that over the past year, this work has begun. In the coming year, this work continues,” Obama said in a letter he sent to the Capitol attached to his economic update to lawmakers. “But to understand where we must go in the next year and beyond, it is important to remember where we began one year ago.”
You know, Obama attacked Republicans by falsely claiming they offered no ideas of their own on health care and saying that opposing everything isn’t leadership. Well, guess what Barry, blaming your predecessor isn’t leadership. It’s passing the buck. Pushing these ridiculous “jobs saved or created” numbers all the time isn’t leadership, it’s lying to save your ass.
It is time for Obama to start accepting responisible for economy he made worse. With millions of jobs lost on his watch, the people are going to have no interest in saving his job in 2012.
