Yes. I have a sense of humor. :)

Got it....Democratic fun is just funning....little bit of light talk.

Republican or ANYONE else is BREAKING NEWS !:)

High Drama... Again!
 

Gosh Bucco, I don't think you do GET it. A sense of humor is just that. Whether it's Republican or Democrat. BTW, I really wouldn't call this "breaking news". Those are your words, not mine. :faint:

I'd almost be willing to bet, unless told otherwise, that Hannity himself would NOT be the guy who actually spliced in the wrong footage. It's not like the on-air news personalities are in the back room editing this stuff.

If he apologized for it on air, well, there's a refreshing bit of honor and honesty there and I'm glad to hear it.

As far as "other networks", well, it wouldn't have been here as I wasn't a member at the time, but, yes, I've been quite vocal against others who do this. It was what got me to have such a negative opinion of Michael Moore - which I mentioned in my original post. I mean, if you can't defend your position without lying, then your position is pretty indefensible!

I do, however, try to keep in mind the following axiom - "Never attribute to malice what can be adequately explained by stupidity". This just seemed like too much 'stupid' all at once.

Numbers
 

The pro at fudging numbers is truly our President.

He says he has created or saved well over a million jobs as unemployment rates continue to rise.

ahem....
 

I don't believe that's what this thread was all about. BUT! Can you imagine the unemployment rate if President Obama had not saved all of those jobs?

Wowser! :shocked:

"On October 29th the Associated Press said that “President Barack Obama's economic recovery program saved 935 jobs at the Southwest Georgia Community Action Council, an impressive success story for the stimulus plan. Trouble is, only 508 people work there.”

"They also said that “About two-thirds of the 14,506 jobs claimed to be saved under one federal office, the Administration for Children and Families at Health and Human Services, actually weren't saved at all, according to a review of the latest data by The Associated Press. Instead, that figure includes more than 9,300 existing employees in hundreds of local agencies who received pay raises and benefits and whose jobs weren't saved.” Luis Rosero, an HHS [Health and Human Services] official defended the practice of counting raises as saved jobs saying that "If I give you a raise, it is going to save a portion of your job."

"AP Continued “The latest stimulus report, significantly overstates the number of jobs spared with money from programs serving families and children, mostly the Head Start preschool program. The report shows hundreds of the programs used nearly $323 million to provide pay raises and other benefits to their existing employees… The raises themselves were appropriate — the stimulus law set aside money for Head Start salary increases — but converting that number into jobs proved difficult. The Obama administration told Head Start officials to consider a fraction of each employee as a job saved.”

And then this sentence....

"Yes that’s correct – the Obama Administration told Head Start officials to count a fraction of each employee who received a raise as a job saved!"

Now President Obama did not invent how to fudge numbers, BUT PLEASE stop putting him on a pedestal as if we REALLY ARE GETTING CHANGE ! It is and will be business as usual with a bit more politics.

Thank you anyexit....some of us were trying to categorize
 

what catalog to put the current administrations comments in.

btk

I'm happy to help. Now all one has to do is make sure they don't find their actions put themselves in the same category.

I assume this post is sarcasm but not sure to whom it is addressed...

Is it aimed at the AP, the source of the information ?

Is it aimed at me for bringing it up ?

Is it just simply that old "we won..you lost..deal with it" mentality ?

Who exactly is WHINING ?
