[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Gee, anonymous seems to be having a hard time getting their facts straight.

The fact is Obama played more than 70 rounds of golf before introducing what HE called a “jobs bill” and announcing that his focus would be on jobs.  Now, if you want to pretend that Obamacare was REALLY a jobs bill or that the ineffective “stimulus” bill was a jobs bill – go ahead, but just be aware that the your spin is contrary to the facts.

For the “anonymous” who cited the NY Times, really? Are you serious?  The NY Times?  They are less credible than Faux News.

It is striking how many people can be led to believe what they are told instead of what they see with their own eyes.  Come on folks, wake up.  Obama is the worst president Jimmy Carter.  How can people not see that

Fine, you don't like NYT.  Here   http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/08/18/obama-jobs-speeches-idUSN1E77G18Z20110818

You can't rewrite history by posting and cross-posting the same lie over and over.

Of course Obama mentioned jobs in the past, but he did not focus to job creation until August 2011 -- after 70+ rounds of golf:

When the president took office, unemployment stood at 7.8%. It rose to 10.1% in April 2009, and now stands at 8.6%. The number of unemployed eclipsed 13 million in March 2009, and has remained above 13 million for 31 straight months. Unfortunately for the millions of Americans without jobs, some of whom were undoubtedly watching her try to pass off this statement as true, the average number of weeks it takes for them to find work is the highest its ever been.

I don't know this person is who is obsessed with the lie that the president "played 70 rounds of golf before turning his attention to jobs."

Setting aside the obvious fact that the setup is bogus (he played golf on Sundays? so what?!?), allow me to just bring your attention this February 2009 news release from the White House about the stimulus:

http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/white-house-releases-state-state-numbers-american-recovery-and-reinvestment-act-sav

First two sentences:

"WASHINGTON, D.C. – The White House today released state-specific details on the local impact of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.  The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act is a nationwide effort to create jobs, jumpstart growth and transform our economy to compete in the 21st century"

Other searches in the first weeks of his administration are about trying to create jobs.

So, the OR is a loon.
