Hope, Change, Lies and more Lies – imaginary people have had their jobs saved/created

I’m beginning to wonder if Obama and members of his administration are going to have to have nose surgery to prevent us from seeing how much they have grown!

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 obama-liar-liar $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.

600,000 new jobs!

125,000 summer jobs for the yoots!

Presto-change-o!

What’s a yoot?  Well, all you have to do is watch My Cousin Vinny for that answer:  a “yoot” is ForDummys “youths”(I love that movie!).   So the stimulus money is going to help 125,000 youths find summer jobs?  Well, only if they remember to wake up in time to go:

These economically disadvantaged young people will participate in summer-employment programs funded under the federal stimulus plan. The programs aim to get them ready for employment through training and job experience.

After work-readiness training, each participant will be placed in a summer job with a governmental or nonprofit agency. The programs are for people 16 to 24, with an emphasis on those who are not in school.
