"Not from what could have happened... Right, the economy had no chance to recover. Our coastlines were going to raise 20 feet and massive drought in farm areas from global warming was going to cause world wide starvation. Pandemic disease and natural disasters like the world has never seen before. The oil was almost gone so society's infrastructure would collapse. Arabs want to oppress our women and eat our children. The Chinese are repopulating the world and what about those Ruskies ehhh. <sarc> ... will have to wait and see on the future but he pulled our asses out of the fire. Period." Save us Obama, save us ... starting with a big check in the mail.

>> Not from what could have happened.. A most convenient measuring stick. One without absolutes. Ideal for the politician. Want to look good in a press conference? Just tell 'em we saved 150,000 jobs. How the hell are they going to know? The media loves us, few will question it. And if Fox News decides it will raise the question, we don't even have to respond. All the other media, who are on our side, will just nod their heads in agreement. If anyone asks, "How do you know you created 150,000 new jobs?", "it isn't necessary to tell them that our own economic 'advisers' came up with the number". No basis whatsoever. Just pitch it out there. We are accountable to no one. Lies, lies, more lies. It doesn't matter.
