White House Mouthpieces Can’t Get Number of Stimulus Jobs Straight

Do these people talk to each other before doing interviews on national television?

Politico: White House advisers appearing on the Sunday talk shows gave three different estimates of how many jobs could be credited to President Obama’s Recovery Act.

The discrepancy was pointed out by a Republican official in an email to reporters noting that “Three presidential advisers on three different programs [gave] three different descriptions of the trillion-dollar stimulus bill.”

Valerie Jarrett had the most conservative count, saying “the Recovery Act saved thousands and thousands of jobs,” while David Axelrod gave the bill the most credit, saying it has “created more than – or saved more than 2 million jobs.” Press Secretary Robert Gibbs came in between them, saying the plan had “saved or created 1.5 million jobs.”

Who do they think they’re fooling? Check out the graph at Gateway Pundit to see how many jobs Porkulus saved or created.

Update: They probably wish they could stop talking about the stimulus, seeing that even a CNN poll finds that 56% of voters are opposed to it.
