Obama administration urges Americans to visit Recovery.gov to track the stimulus money and the affects it has on new or saved jobs. However, the information found on that site is not exactly what one would expect to see.
For example, Arizona boasts new jobs in 15 of its 25 congressional districts. The problem is, there are only 8 congressional districts in Arizona.
Iowa reports figures for 13 congressional districts, but they have only five congressional districts. Utah reported for seven of its three congressional districts. No wonder Joe Biden thinks the stimulus is doing "better than expected." Jobs are being created in districts that do not exist. There are at least 10 other states reporting fictional districts. Maybe all of these jobs are in the extra states not found on the US map that are part of the 57 states Obama visited on the campaign trail.
Rep. David Obey (D-Wis.) said in a statement Monday. "The inaccuracies on recovery.gov that have come to light are outrageous and the Administration owes itself, the Congress, and every American a commitment to work night and day to correct the ludicrous mistakes. Whether the numbers are good news or bad news, I want the honest numbers and I want them now."
Unfortunately for Obama, the honest reporting would show far less jobs created, if any have been created at all.

Girl you make me laugh!! :-) In the 57 states that Obama visited. hahahahahaha
What did all of you think....that this was actually the truth about jobs being created? Nothing this man has said or done has been about truth!
This is blatant, organized lying by the community organizer and his little friends.
They are desperate, but now even LeftMedia is having a hard time buying his lies. Their slobber is drying up and the tingles are no longer going up their legs.
Soon, the general public will recognize that this administration is an inept laughingstock.
Then we will have to have a new 'crisis' from which only his holiness, the Humanist (Google Humanist Manifestos I & II) messiah can save us.
Totally predictable.
"Unfortunately for Obama, the honest reporting would show far less jobs created, IF ANY HAVE BEEN CREATED AT ALL." If the rest of your story is as well researched as the conclusion, I wonder if any of it is accurate.
If you just got out of your home and drove around town (you don't even have to take off your pajamas) you'd see plenty of evidence of jobs. I just drove up to Michigan and passed 4 or 5 road projects funded by stimulus funds. Now I'll admit I didn't get out of my car to confirm this, but the people doing the work certainly looked like human beings. And laying asphalt looked a heck of a lot like a job. So sorry to ruin your rant with the facts, but the stimulus program is working.
Likeitis: Seriously? Did you actually click on her links in the article? Do you not understand that even the White House acknowledges this mistake? But facts don't impress you much. You got in your car and rode around town to see who was working and assume it was stimulus money. Thanks for the laugh! It just reinforced the fact that those who drink Obama Kool-Aid have no thoughts of their own, will never learn or think for themselves and are completely and utterly ignorant.
So Likeitis, which congressional district are you in? The 16th? The 21st? Because according to your president's website, recovery.gov, Michigan did receive stimulus money in all 25 districts. The problem is, MICHIGAN ONLY HAS FIFTEEN DISTRICTS!!!! So tell me dear, where did the other 8 million dollors go that went to non-existent congressional districts?
Research before you post such asinine comments!
I didn't think anyone could make the presidency of george bush look like it wasn't such a bad deal after all but president obama and his bosses have consistently convinced many americans that we have jumped out of the frying pan and into the fire
I went down to new orleans after katrina hit to help out and spent one year there watching the left steal every dime they could get their hands on and doing as little as possible for their own voters while badmouthing the right for not sending more money.And people wonder why more democrats go to jail like William Jefferson may. It dosen't matter what people say you need to pay attention to what they do instead. The New orleans Tax paying black voters actually banded together to try and replace their black democrat ( Mayor never do nothing nagin )with a white man in the hopes of actually getting help for their city. They will try and replace Obama in 2012 if the presidency dosen"t start doing what it says
Got something to say?
