How Obama Gets His Stats

In case you missed it the other day, Rush had a very interesting caller the other day. The caller was a gentleman, who as a small business owner, sold some material to a customer. The customer was purchasing the goods using stimulus funds. The custoomer gave the small business a 50 page questionairre to fill out. It asked how many jobs had been save or created with the funds. Because no jobs had been impacted by this partiucular purchase, the owner wrote “zero”. He was then conttacted by the government via phone. They were not happy with the zero. They wanted several jobs to be classified as maintained or saved with the purchase. The business owner told them over and over that the purchase had not affected the job situation. They wouldn’t accept that. They considered every job there to have been “saved by the Stimulous Bill”. He finally relented and gave them an answer of “one”. Transparency my omnibus! This gives us just an inkling of the sneaky games these people are playing!
