No, he is trying to spin the numbers the best he can but it is slowly catching up with him.
He has no proof to back up his numbers.
I just saved or created 200,000 jobs writing this response!
he is a demagogue and any rational person knows it!!!
The unemployment statistics are skewed. There are more unemployed now than in many decades and I fear it’s only the beginning.
Is Obama a master manipulator? Or are people just outright retarded?
BOTH.
People are just retarded. Sorry.
Yes, I’ve noticed that. He is quite the manipulator; people need to wake up and realize that he is spewing a heavy line of BS. The Obama administration’s numbers have been "off" from the beginning. He consistently touts the "saved OR created" rhetoric, knowing full well that there is no real way to verify "saved" jobs and hoping that the public is not sharp enough to catch on. Additionally, these 600,000 jobs that he claims that he is going to create are temporary, not long term, jobs. Welcome to Obama’s world of manipulation and unicorn-laced promises.
Probably not. Spinning those numbers and numbers like them are a age old political tradition and President Obama can not or will not change that. Besides when he was not spinning things to make them sound good he was attacked for using doom and gloom.
MUCH MORE SO THAN BUSH WAS.
WHEN HE WAS PRESIDENT THEY DID NOT COUNT THE AMERICANS WHO’S UNEMPLOYMENT HAD ALREADY RUN OUT. ONLY THE ONES DRAWING UNEMPLOYMENT
IT is pure froth.
Obama’s speech writers and spin masters are the master manipulators.
Obama is just the puppet chosen to deliver the spin.
And people who continue to buy it after all that has transpired are just plain retarded.
