Obama: ‘Convinced’ Job Losses Prove $830 Billion Stimulus Worked

Obama: Convinced Job Losses Prove $830 Billion Stimulus Worked Can an increase in unemployment be attributed to the “success” of President Obama’s multi-billion dollar stimulus plan? According to the President: Yes it can.

A mere three days after the U.S. Department of Labor reported a June unemployment rate of 9.2 percent — up a tick from May — Obama said the loss of jobs is proof positive that his $830-billion economic stimulus worked.

Below is a partial transcript of Obama’s revelation and the video follows:

“Now, without re-litigating the past, I am absolutely convinced and the vast majority of economists are convinced that the steps we took in the recovery act saved millions of people their jobs, or created a whole bunch of jobs. And, part of the evidence of that, as you see instances of the recovery act phasing out.”

Obama then added:

“As we’ve seen that federal support for states diminish, we’ve seen the biggest job losses in the public sector — teachers, police officers, firefighters, losing their jobs. So, my strong preference would be for us to figure out ways that we can continue to provide help across the board.”

Obama then clarified he can’t implement whatever kind of “help” he wants to, as he is operating under “constraints” from the House of Representatives.

According to CNS, back in 2009 when the President signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, his top economic adviser, Christina Romer, reported that the act would prevent unemployment from reaching 8 percent. Of course, we are well beyond that point now.

So is Obama just trying to spin a bad situation, or do you believe that job losses prove the President’s stimulus worked? Will the so-called “success” of the stimulus now become part of the administration’s narrative moving forward into 2012?

    Im pretty convinced it hasnt worked as I am still unemployed and havent had an interview in over a year.

    Emp. Obama claims success and “cares” yet his actions stifle businesses from moving forward expanding and hiring, all of which keep folks like myself from getting work. High unemployment is yet another bullet point he can add to his resume that he has his primary accomplishment titled: Fundamentally Transformed the USA Into a Third World Nation

      If you have a sick patient and the patient is getting worse, I do not believe you say the patient is recovering. The United States is not in the recovery stage. You have to see improvement in the condition before you can say recovering. Climbing unemployment figures do not show recovery.

It would only work if at least 65% of american people were on board with it. The way to stop them is to cut off their money supply but now you are talking about another civil war because they would come after anyone who did not pay.

      President Obama appears to have the same problem that has affected most progressive liberals in this country. It is a lack of brain function due to insufficient oxygen being supplied to it. This is caused by their heads being up their butts for so long that they can’t breathe and therefore no oxygen can reach their brain. It can be fatal if not corrected (we can all hope, can’t we)??? Now in my life I have had my head up my butt a couple of times and I didn’t like it very much. It is very dark, it smells funny, and you definitely have trouble with the respiratory process. I extracted is pretty quickly once I realized what was going on.
      If Obama thinks the declining jobs and other economic indicators in this country is proof that his
      stimulus and other programs have/are working, he is definitely infected with this disease and is on the verge of being borderline delusional. I suggest he submit his resignation immediately in the best interest of the country.

Today he openly used scare tactics to scare Republicans into voting for his ‘plan.’ He came out and lied that he could not save Social Security checks, he knows that is a lie because the Treasury actually spoke out against those lies. Does he care… no.

      Under this new system of counting unemployment, double digit unemployment would be an extreme catastrophe. The actual unemployment, as it was counted before the government changed the formula to make it appear better than it really was, it’s more like 17-21%.

      It doesn’t take much to impress you, @encinon. All you need to see is [D] and you’re in awe.

      Government job losses are a good thing, because as our Declaration of Independence notes, governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed; and all the redistributive thefts on the part of government are violations of American citizens’ inalienable rights.

      Obama, here, is trying to deceive the Constitutionalists by acknowledging that a shrinking public sector is good for the private sector, but leaving out the fact that the stimulus and the growing dependency on the nanny state was, and is, designed to collapse the economy into Socialism (more than it is, already).

If Obama seems to be loosing the election in 2012, he has stirred up enough problems with Islam that there is a likely event of bombing (if not home grown) here and possibly in or from Israel, and yes, will call Martial Law. His Executive Orders is legislating laws outside of congress and was never meant to usurp the procedures to make law.

      The county commissioners in my county here in Florida just voted yesterday for environment change in direct correlation to the UN’s agenda 21. The intent is to Radically Transform Pasco County by creating a dense Urban Corridor of Vertical High Rise Housing and industry along the Pasco County Southern Border.

      well no $h** Sherlock – you borrow & print hundreds of billions of dollars to pay the salaries of union employees, and you will save their jobs – for awhile. But when the dollars run out and the piper comes a’calling – well, you just can’t do it forever.

      America- What the he** were you thinking. I realize that John McCain was a truly horrible candidate for President, but who thought that this was a better choice??!!??!! My only prayer, and belive me I’m hitting my knees several times a day, is that we can somehow survive until 2013 when we can throw this blithering idiot out of the White House and send him back to that dung heap called Chicago. This loser is beyond stupid. He can’t even see stupid from where he is. Keep him on vacation and on the golf course, just keep him away from the Oval Office and maybe the adults can salvage something from this mess…Just sayin’

    I guess he does consider his policy a success when our economic situation has worsened, which is exactly what Soros and other commie/globalists wanted him to do. Congratulations, Obama, for putting some more nails in America’s coffin.

      I hate to hear him talk, I cringe… One lie after another..like the talk he gave today…can’t guarantee checks, my @$$. Anything to scare the mis/uninformed…liar he is. We need to get rid of this man and his gang.. There is so much I’d like to say…others will say it better. But we need to all know that we can make a difference in 2012 in the privacy of that voting booth.

      Are you really better off today, happier with your life , positive that the light at the end of that Obama “hope and change” tunnel is not another Obama/Soros train???

      Here are a couple of starting facts.

      1776 – 2000 (225 years) national debt 5.5 trillion

      2001-2011 (10 years) 8.8 trillion

      They have plain and simply bankrupted this once great country on purpose.

      VENNOYE, he lives in a parallel universe in his own mind and, yes, I think he believes what he says. That in itself is very scary as he now cannot tell truth from fiction. When you ‘read’ as many lies as he has for the last 2-1/2 years, it is hard to find your way back to the truth.
