Oh, brother.

Paula Moore-Kirby, 42 years old, had less trouble with the Web site, but couldn’t work out how to answer the question about how many jobs her father had created or saved. She couldn’t leave it blank, either, she said. After several calls to a helpline for recipients she came away with the impression that she would hear back if there was a problem with her response, and have a chance to correct it. So with 15 minutes to go before the reporting deadline, she sent in her answer: nine jobs, because her father helped nine members of the Corps to work.

Well--any thinking, rational person understood from the beginning that the Obama "jobs created or saved" nonsense was exactly that: nonsense. It was a con. A "lie," if you will.

But the formula is now set:

Eighteen boots equals nine jobs, in the Obama Economy. One job is precisely equal to two pieces of footwear, in Obama's America.

How's that "hope and change" working out for you?
