"One hundred days later, we are already seeing results," President Barack Obama said during a visit to Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada.
"Across America, recovery is under way," Vice President Joe Biden said in a statement accompanying a 28-page progress report.
Moreover, Biden said, recovery is "more than just a compilation of statistics; it's the return of hope and optimism about the future that comes with making life better for communities and families across the country."

Kind of like saying that your house is on fire, BUT it's not burning as fast as expected.
Or that your neighborhood is flooded, BUT the water is not rising as fast as predicted.
Sounds like sugar-coating a disaster to me.

Scary part is jobs in government are the ones being "created or saved" like that's really gonna get the private sector hiring. Gonna have to fire a few to pay the tax on the stimulus.
Please bash away, I'm just another wacky conservative who didn't agree with NAFTA or CAFTA and screamed about renewing China's "Most Favored Nation" status....

I'd like to see some data to back up that assertion. Obama has promised more government jobs but I don't know if many have actually been delivered.
My customers are product development companies all over the east coast and they certainly have reduced the frequency of layoffs and many are even hiring again.
One company I'm working with now produces power transmission equipment (i.e. necessary for civil infrastructure projects) and they're doing quite well.

Joe Biden on Meet the Press last Sunday was asked why so many jobs
are being lost, even after the Stimulus Package.
His answer, " EVERYONE guessed wrong". 
No Joe, not EVERYONE. 
GUESSED ??? So much for our so called intellectual community organizer / law instuctor. |

I believe the context for this statement was that the Administration used mainstream estimates for their economic projections, hence "everybody" being the entire economic community and not just the Administration.
It is fair to say that the actual economic numbers turned out worse than most had estimated.
To imply that Obama was "guessing" isn't really accurate.
That's not to say that they haven't made some very rosy predictions on economic stimulus impact as they certainly have.

I love ya Spence but you are just obama deluded...the fact that you will following along and defend willingly with the crap that these guys are trying to run by everyone is really disturbing...
"I believe what Biden was Saying"....Biden doesn't even know what he's saying ...EVER! |

Spence, if he had said "WE" guessed wrong, i wouldn't have had an issue with it.
By him saying "everybody" he was implying everyone should take the blame, even if it included the economic community as you implied.
He must have forgotten the 183 votes against the bill in the house. 
Either way, "we" or "everyone", Joe was the one who said "guessed wrong", which would include the President. |
