Open Season on Journalism?

First Obama is at “war” with Fox News and now a GOP candidate calling the cops on the Weekly Standard…

“Hello, 911? This is the Dede Scozzafava campaign. Could you send a police car over to the Elks Lodge? There is a reporter here asking our candidate uncomfortable questions. Thank you.”Something like this call went out last night when a reporter committed the “high crime” of asking Republican congressional candidate, Dede Scozzafava (endorsed by the Daily Kos), questions that she obviously felt very uneasy about answering…

But I do wonder if it’s the Scozzafava campaign that’s in trouble–with a candidate who supports card check, who is unwilling to say she’d oppose a health care bill that raises taxes or includes abortion coverage, and who is so reluctant to answer questions that she has someone with her campaign call the cops when she’s questioned by a reporter who is (if I may say so) polite–if a bit persistent. – News Busters

Stimulus Creating Jobs At $71,500 Each

The stimulus spending cost to create 1 job is $71k. Sadly the stimulus has created 30,383 jobs so far!
Meanwhile we are losing around 300,000+ each month.

The White House unveiled Thursday the first hard data on how many jobs the $787 billion recovery act has created.

So far, 30,383 jobs have been created by companies that have gotten $2.2 billion worth of stimulus contracts directly from the federal government. That equates to $71,500 per job based on just the funds that have been distributed.

These firms have been awarded a total of $16 billion. – CNN

Obama Wins Nobel Peace Price For…

Even the AP’s chief White House corespondent is confused…Obama had been in office 12 days when nominations were closed.

The awarding of the Nobel Peace Price to President Barack Obama landed with a shock on darkened, still-asleep Washington. He won! For what? – AP Story (news.yahoo.com/news/story/maple/en-US/ap/20091009/) Removed

Money Handout = Creating Jobs?

Apparently the Obama thinks “creating jobs” is handing out money to poor people…How does that saying about fish and fishing go again?

Detroit’s homeless and low-income residents have another opportunity for a chance at millions of stimulus dollars.

The money is available to help low-income residents from becoming homeless and homeless residents to find housing.

Thousands of people lined up Tuesday.

Some people in line falsely believed they were registering for $3,000 stimulus checks from the Obama Administration.

City officials told Local 4 that Detroit was granted $15 million to help residents pay bills and their rent or find temporary housing for the homeless. – Residents Get Chance At Stimulus Money
