Have You Seen David Plouffe's Latest Propaganda? Claims Obama's Stimulus Saved Jobs Lost Under Bush

Via an e-mail from Astroturfing for Obama, former campaign manager David Plouffe has the audacity to claim the $787 billion dollar stimulus-in-name only package, which was passed one year ago, saved the jobs lost in the last year of the Bush Administration.

Marooned --

Wondering what the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act -- President Obama's stimulus bill -- has accomplished? Look at this:

One year ago tomorrow, after tens of thousands of you shared stories and called your representatives, the President signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.

And while this anniversary isn't a cause for celebration, there is reason to be optimistic. This chart makes it clear: We're on the road to recovery.

Still, we know there is a long way to go. Many Americans are still struggling, and creating jobs remains President Obama's top priority.

Nice spin job David. You left out a couple of facts, though. Unemployment under the stimulus plan was not supposed to rise higher than eight percent. It dipped last month three tenths of a percent from 10 percent, even though 20,000 jobs were lost last month and the reporting method was rigged.In November, the Obama Administration claimed they had created over 600,000 jobs under the "stimulus" bill. That was proven not to be true, as many "bogus jobs" were tracked. Stimulus money also went to "phantom" Congressional districts as well. The Administration upped their number to two million jobs created in January, but a CBS Poll (via Gateway Pundit) shows only 6 percent of Americans actually believe the stimulus created jobs.

That doesn't include the massive expansion of the federal deficit in just one year under this Administration. And if "jobs" really were Obama's priority, then why the hell did he spend the last nine months pushing a socialized, government run medical system?

If the stimulus had any success, it was in awakening the American public, many of whom who believed the marketing campaign of "Hopey Changey." The Tea Party movement sprang up and galvanized over the summer and fall of 2009 as a real grassroots uprising, unlike the rent-a-mobs put together by Left wing groups.

So David Plouffe, nice try! You can make up all the fancy graphs and charts, all the new marketing, propaganda, and "rapid response" strategies, but it won't hide the fact that America now sees "That One" for who and what he really is.
