Real Obama Miracle: Creates Jobs AND Congressional Districts With Wave of Hand
by PubliusFrom ABC News:
Here’s a stimulus success story: In Arizona’s 15th congressional district, 30 jobs have beensaved or created with just $761,420 in federal stimulus spending. At least that’s what the Web site set up by the Obama administration to track the $787 billion stimulus says.
There’s one problem, though: There is no 15th congressional district in Arizona; the state has only eight districts.
And ABC News has found many more entries for projects like this in places that are incorrectly identified.
Late Monday, officials with the Recovery Board created to track the stimulus spending, said the mistakes in crediting nonexistent congressional districts were caused by human error.
“We report what the recipients submit to us,” said Ed Pound, Communications Director for the Board.
Pound told ABC News the board receives declarations from the recipients – state governments, federal agencies and universities – of stimulus money about what program is being funded.
“Some recipients clearly don’t know what congressional district they live in, so they appear to be just throwing in any number. We expected all along that recipients would make mistakes on their congressional districts, on jobs numbers, on award amounts, and so on. Human beings make mistakes,” Pound said.
The issue has raised hackles on Capitol Hill.

YOU LIE!
Uhh, he probably thinks those districts are in one or more of the 7 extra states he said were in the United States.
The man is dumber than a box of rocks! And a liar to boot!

and it's acceptable to giveout that much $$ and not really require proper accountability??? wtf
Here is a liberal source for AZ's congressional districts: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arizona's_congr...
Only 8. In addition, contrary to the Obama administration's annoucement, districts zero and double zero do not exist.
What's up with this? I'm still trying to find the other 7 states Obama talked about.
Obama keeps talking about 'calling people out' for spreading mis-information. ITS TIME FOR US TO CALL HIM OUT. This LAWYER has done anything but talk straight to the country. Every word he utters is calculated to give him an out. This guy is a joke and unfortunately the joke is on US.

Mike . . . you are so impolite
Hey!
Dead voters have to have SOMEPLACE to live…
Yesssss! This is yet another "fishy" report on the "successful" stimulus impact.
Trust us – We're the government and we're here to help.
Being a resident of Arizona, the 15th district does exist. It happens to be right where my house is.
But we haven't seen our check yet, please send it to…
Wow, he truly is God! Blessed be the Barry, peace be upon him…
TRUTH IN LABELING: The government has made detailed rules for private industry to 'correctly' label and fully disclose on the labels. I suggest that the same rules apply to those who write the rules.
A couple of blatant examples: "Employee Free Choice" s/b "MOB RULES" the "Economic Stimulus Plan" s/b "Union Payback and Welfare Expansion Act" "Cap and Trade" s/b "Wealth Re-Distribution to 3rd world despots and everybody who has anything pays more for it Act" "Fundementally Change America" s/b "See Detroit"
I am so totally fed up with these phony, self important, lying, cheating, filandering, lazy, bribe taking, pretenders who claim to be looking out for our best interest and those of the 'under-privledged'. They need to get the He!! out.
And that goes for the DEMOCRATS too.

Why do you guys portray Obama as a saint, or a messiah, so often?
AFAICT, nobody else does.
ABC News better straighten up…they're going to be next on the list of news organizations that don't really report "news". Suppose they gotten the call from Rahm yet – telling them to quit raining on the One's parade?

Wow….just seeing this really gets my blood pressure sky-high….WHO DID THAT MONEY GO TO???? Someone had to sign for it? Was it directly deposited into someones account? Who received the check (if there was a check)…to pass this off on "human error" is a BS excuse…and recovery.gov is supposed to "blow your mind" as Biden said….I am ready to storm to Washington and DEMAND that WE THE PEOPLE get OUR country back….this type of lying and deceit is what caused our Founding Fathers to REVOLT against the King and Great Britain…PLEASE, SOMEONE IN JOURNALISM, ASK THOSE QUESTIONS!!!!!!
ABC did not break this story! Jim Scarantino at New Mexico Watchdog did. He beat ABC's "exclusive" by two hours. And Only watchdog.org has the complete listing for all 50 states.
I am beginning to believe the Obama juggernaut is past Socialism and is not into the Communist area. They will set up more and more fake situations, they will propagate more and more lies.
If it were my website, I would surely know when there is some fake stuff going on and BTW I do have my own business website.
The website is nothing more than an $18 million propaganda machine.
Keeper,
How many Lawyers straight talk about anything? A few will straight talk but Hussein is not one! I am still having a problem with GM and Chrysler……..
Remember to Vote in 2010 and 2012.
Stop spending all your time watching sponge bob and watch the news.
thats how acorn counts a+b=15 or what ever dirty bertie wants it to bes
"I am ready to storm to Washington and DEMAND that WE THE PEOPLE get OUR country back…"
Do it. My wife and I got to this point back on Sept 12th and were there for the march on DC. It was invigorating to be amongst so many like-minded people. I'm sure we will make the trip again (a 2,500 mile journey) We can take back this country.
Strange, since taking over Barry and his administration has yielded zero and double-zero net jobs yet they are counted as something existing and meaningful.
How do you spend eighteen million on a website? Boy, doesn’t it work good. Hey! We should let these idiots run healthcare, …cool!
You mean besides Chicago?
It is easy enough to find them, just check the election maps for the darkest blue spots. Someone must have a list, that is one Community that is heavily Organized…
Yeah…a Community that is heavily Organized
It's because dead people stack better…
Rep. Obey (a Dem!) has denounced the WH stimulus reporting- at least calling it sloppy and grossly inaccurate if not what it really is, fraudulent.
I'm reminded of the regular announcements back in The Day of how the production goals of the Glorious Five-Year Plan had been exceeded yet again….
Remember…the Administration is not saying the jobs numbers are in error…just the locations…
I guess the Administration thinks I'm just as stupid as their usual voter…
"I am New Mexico 22, and somebody better get my money to me RIGHT NOW…!"
Just about the time I think Obama and his children have lied about all the lies there are to lie…damn, they lie some more! "Human error" = LIE!
You forgot that all the ACORN offices should be moved to those locations! That way it is easier to find the dead to register.
Anyone who finds they live in a nonexistent district should write their represen….oh, wait. :/
I'm in Los Lunas, Watchhdog…and you are now on my bookmark list…
Great going! + 1 million, but unfortunately they won't let me give you more than 1 here…
He could have out sourced it to Pakistan and had it done for $500! Then the support line in India $50 an hour for 200 operators and then could claim he helped a few thousand families overseas.
How did this man get elected?

"Oh, sure its a TOP priority…"

We all knew this was the kind of thing that would happen. They have to put a positive spin on things to show their Big Government is our friend & see how good it work's. It is all B.S.. You can't make jobs out of thin air. It is simply based on what the demand is in the market. By not making the market more business friendly & providing the tax cuts & open avenues for large & small businesses to grow then it is only going to get worse as we are seeing. Research & Development is in the toilet which spurs much job creation. New taxes levied against small business & the attack of large corporations combined with their creative accounting is only going to make things worse. It is so basic to understand maybe all that education on Capital Hill is getting in the way of real common sense. I feel like Alice tumbling down the Rabbit hole.
Bald faced POWER GRAB by this disgraceful administration bent on tyranny
Sounds like maybe it's time for you to go to a farm for some "re-education"
This is beyond ridiculous. Even if you grant that the 99s and 00s were placeholders until they got the correct district — how could they be submitted and then posted without setting off error alarms.
Don't they know how to constrict an entry field?
Shouldn't the local congresscritter be all over the numbers to see that he gets credit for any job creation?
Can't they match up a zipcode to a congressional district?
Shouldn't there be a minimum amount of grant money expected to actually create a job?
I bet Google 1.0 didn't cost $18 mil.
The government can't "create" jobs. All they can do is take money from one and give it to another. All they have to work with is our money. Think about it.
I see most of the focus on fake jobs created in fake districts.
My question is. Where was that money actually spent? This may well be a false accounting of huge sums of taxpayer funds going into the hands of cronies that cannot be accounted for in an otherwise legal way.
Could we please follow the money on this one?
No HOPE and No Shame. I wonder what the SUCKERS that took his promises hook, line and sinker think now. These Chicago Thugs, Obama, Emmanuel, Axelrod, Jarret, …. are destroying this country. Where did the money go? Acorn? SEIU? Other worthless organizations ripe with fraud, embezzlement, etc. etc. etc. Time to follow the money trail. Indict and prosecute. AND IF NECESSARY IMPEACH! Remember, these are the same CLOWNS that want to control our healthcare system too! UNBELIEVABLE! If we had some honest reporting BEFORE the election, maybe we wouldn't have these clowns in the White House! Thanks MSM. IDIOTS!
How long do you think it will take before they break the previous administration's lying record?
I love re-education camps. I come out so cleansed of my sin of thinking for myself. LOL
Duh. Whee in my statement did I say the government should create a job. What I want is them to stay out of the way of the market & let business be business. They are trying to put controls on business to redistribute the wealth. I don't want them to do anything with our money other then what the CONSTITUTION has laid out.

Physician … HEAL THY SELF! Start with investigatin porkulus.
Mike you are mistaken. President Obama never said that there were 7 extra states!
what President Obama said was that there were 59 states, he had been to 57 and still had to stop and campaign in two more.
Oh Yeah…. ooops! It was human error. The people reporting the use of billions of dollars have no idea what they're doing. COME ON!!!
If you don't know what congressional district you live in, you SHOULD NOT BE IN CHARGE OF REPORTING USE OF STIMULUS MONEY!!! Did they just hire a couple of college kids to do it? Maybe they're from out of town and don't now what district? But it did create 14 jobs or whatever, right?
What good is creating 10 jobs if those jobs are people that don't know WHAT THEY"RE DONIG?!!??!!?
Excuse my sarcasm, but this is Ludicrous!!! And if you believe that these "errors" are due to "human Error", then you are a gullible and incredibly ignorant person. Is this what you want? Someone handling a portion of the $787 BILLION stimulus package, and they CAN'T COUNT?!?! This is utterly ridiculous. Shame on them!! What will it take to prove that these people are trying to remake our country into something that we fought against most of the last century, and what is NOT working in Europe, Britain, Canada, and japan in the 90's? CHECK YOUR FREAKIN' HEADS ALREADY!!!!
rikr
a + b +3 dead people = 427
ps, we just saved 5,098,234,398, 336 jobs, in the last 4days.

Those Web Administrators don't come cheap.
You also realize they have to pay the hoards of trolls from that budget.
Start by looking over your shoulder at Bwarney and Dobby.
Exactly Right. "Office of the 16th District", "Hospital of the Unemployed", "General Manglers of Auto Corruption", just send the check and I'll be sure it gets properly distributed.
Such crap! How does one make a mistake like that, by claiming there is a 15th district when there are only 8? The number isn't even close.
I am sick of those pundits who claim Obama is trying to drag us into light socialism or a European-style socialism. They are trying to go easy on this guy and give him the benefit of the doubt. He is far worse than that. He is dragging us into either communism or fascism. I'm still on the fence about that as there are aspects of both. Time will tell.
There was a report on Cavuto today that another stimulus is in the works. Why, did you know that if they hadn't put in place the last stimulus that we would have lost another 1 million jobs in addition to the 3.1 million we've lost since this corrupt administration took office?
Why do we need another stimulus when allegedly 86% of the last stimulus has not been spent yet? Where did all that money go? Demand answers!
You wouldn't believe the answers anyway, so what's the point?
LIes Lies and more lies! obama can't say a work without lying to you! wake Up America! Have we forgotten Tricky Dick Nixon! God I hope not! but it appears we have. well who could blame our kids they weren't taught about our histroy in class just about gay rights and global warming. Now Obama wants us to believe that there are hundreds of congressional districts that do not eixt and that thoise districts have thousands of new jobs he's created. After all he's sent millions of dollars to those very same districts! They have to be real! Right? Where's the money? They are stealing money and trying to hide it behind smoke and mirrors! Wake up America! demand that his guy be run out of office! NOW! before it's too late to save our country from these thieves and traitors!
Follow the money and I'll bet you'll find it ended up at Obama's pocket or Acorns or SEIU or Pelosi or Franks or Dodds or the tax cheats Wrangler and Geither's. Wake Up America! they are stealing the money right in front of your face and are counting on you being to lazy to care about it as long as idiol is on this week or survivor isn't a rerun! Come on! What's its going to take for you to care? Maybe whent hey arrest you for not buying their over priced under serviced health care or maybe when you burn one too many piece of wood in your campfire whiel your trying to keep the family warm in January because you've gone over your cap and trade allowance! wake up! They are stealing your freedom and wealth one small piece at a time. It's kinda like whenyour drop a frog in a pot of cold water onthe stove, the frog stays there because it's what he's used to. but then turn on the flame and as the water slowly increases to a boil the frog still won't escape because the ehat slowly increased until he was trapped and killed by it.
That's what Obama and his crew arew doing to america! wake Up! Save yourself and your children's futures! Extra districts is just another diversion so you get bored and confused. Don't let them foll you! Stand up and fight for your rights and your children's rights. They were GOD given and Obama can't have mine!
bow down
Just just goes to reinforce the old adage that you should believe nothing that you hear from government and only half of what you see them actually produce, the other half being a complete fabrication.
This administration is so far down the porcelian altar as far as credibility, honesty and transparency is concerned, you have a better chance of the back of Lincolns head on Mt Rushmore being more transparent that ANYTHING that Barry Soprano and his mob can tell America.
Joe Wilson is right; LIAR! I'll go one further: THEY ARE ALL LIARS!
That's an insult to the rocks!
And by the way he keeps traveling around, he's still trying locate the last two. This week he's looking outside Beijing!
I'm so confused!
The way these idiots are trashing the country, pretty soon we'll all be living in the Twilight Zone (and we're not too far away from there as it is). Then who do we write to; The Borg?
Jacey – it's OK if you think that you have the entire media in your pocket and no one will actually do the research. After all, we the people are just mindless robots!
You failed to mention that $18 million propaganda machine is paid for by US!
uscreek63 is talking about the 57 states Obama said he had visited. There are 57 states of Islam and 50 states in the US. Obama let his Islamic background out of the bag during that goof.
This is the same Eric Holder who, prior to his appointment to the Obama administration, was employed by a firm who provided legal representation to terrorists. And, oh….. that had nothing to do with "his" decision to bring the mastermind behind by the 9/11 terrorist attacks to trial in a US civilian court in the very city that suffered the brunt ot the 9/11 attacks.
The hubris of this administration is quite unbelievable.

The 14th district is right next door, "The underage performance artists association". For some reason they got their checks early(must be all of those dependents).
In 2002, there were approximately 23 million small businesses in the United States according to the US SBA (Small Business Administration).
He's just doing a variation on a theme. That theme is OJ was combing every golf course in the country in pursuit of the real killers.
AND they'll be running our health care. Humans make mistakes when accountable to the government, and not to the free market, right? So, what happens when they mistakenly report that they did heart surgery, when they only gave a vaccine? Or bill the US government for kidney dialysis when they only provided an aspirin.
When we receiving $100,000s or even millions of dollars, we should be able to expect them to look up their congressional district and report accurately.
