Obama Job Recovery: $111 Million in Stimulus under American Recovery & Reinvestment Act (ARRA) Creates 55 Jobs in Los Angeles

Is it any wonder why the Tea Party is an overwhelmingsuccess … Democrats would have you believe it is extreme to be against Government wasteful spending.

The Obama Administration likes to tout the $787 billion stimulus plan as a success and job creator, really? Does any one think that spending $2 million per job is a success? That is correct, $2,000,000 per job. After receiving $111 million in Obama’s federal stimulus funds, the city of Los Angeles, CA created a whopping 55 jobs.

The city received $111 million in stimulus under American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) approved by the Congress more than year ago.

“I’m disappointed that we’ve only created or retained 55 jobs after receiving $111 million,” says Wendy Greuel, the city’s controller, while releasing an audit report.

“With our local unemployment rate over 12% we need to do a better job cutting red tape and putting Angelenos back to work,” she added.

According to the report, the Los Angeles Department of Public Works generated only 45.46 jobs (the fraction of a job created or retained correlates to the number of actual hours of work) after receiving $70.65 million, while the target was 238 jobs.

WOW, Connecticut US Senate Race Between Blumenthal (D) & McMahon (R) … Moved to a Toss Up

Not so fast …remember when the Connecticut US Senate race was solid Democrat and a sure Donkey win, not any more. Just a perfect example why there is no such thing as a republican cannot win in any state, including Christine O’Donnell in Delaware.

As the MSM and elitist establishment types are obsessed with the idea that a commoner and Tea Party backed candidate like Christine O’Donnell have the audacity to win the Republican primary in Delaware and take on liberal Democrat and Harry Reid’s pet Chris Cooms … a funny thing is happening in the Connecticut US Senate race, its now a toss up.

Before Democrats are so quick to call the Delaware US Senate race a victory, they might just want to check out what is happening in Connecticut. Blumenthal once had a 41% lead in the Quinnipiac poll, it is now only 6%. So much for a sure thing, eh?

Flying under the political radar, the once overwhelming lead for Democrat candidate Richard Blumenthal and a solid Democrat lock has now dwindled to single digits in some polls over republican contender Linda McMahon. Charlie Cook of the Cook Report is ready to make this race a toss up.

The contest between Democratic Attorney General Richard Blumenthal and former World Wrestling Entertainment CEO Linda McMahon has been gradually closing over the past few months, and is now in single digits, according to some polls.

A Quinnipiac University poll (September 8-12 of 875 likely voters) gave Blumenthal a six-point lead over McMahon, 51 percent to 45 percent. They were statistically tied among independents, with Blumenthal taking 47 percent to 46 percent for McMahon, and among men where McMahon had a one-point advantage, 48 percent to 47 percent. Blumenthal enjoyed a 56-percent to 41-percent lead among women voters. Blumenthal’s job ratings were 70-percent approve to 26-percent disapprove. As impressive as these numbers are, his ratings in January were 84-percent approve to 11-percent disapprove. Blumenthal’s favorable/unfavorable ratings were 55 percent to 39 percent while McMahon’s were 45 percent to 41 percent. This poll looks a lot different than a January Quinnipiac survey that gave Blumenthal a 41-percent advantage over McMahon, 64 percent to 23 percent.

Political Ad Material for O’Donnell Courtesy of Harry Reid …Delaware Senate Candidate Chris Coons, “He’s my pet”

Harry Reid, what is going on in that freaky little mind of your, how did you ever get to be Senate Majority Leader?

Following the victory of Tea Party backed Christine O’Donnell in the Republican Primary in DE, Harry Reid, what does Democrat Senate Majority Leader from Nevada says about the Democrat candidate  Chis Coons, “He is my pet”. His pet? He actually called another individual his pet, YIKES!  Thank you Democrats and Harry Reid for Christine O’Donnell’s first political ad material. I wonder how Chris Coons feels about beings some one’s pet? Leave it to Democrats to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. It would not be the first time that this has occurred.

Other pets weighed in and said, “STOP HARRY REID”

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) on Wednesday predicted to The Hill that Democratic Senate candidate Chris Coons will safely win the Nov. 2 general election against GOP nominee Christine O’Donnell.

Reid talked up the New Castle County executive following a memorial ceremony on the Capitol’s east steps to commemorate the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. O’Donnell on Tuesday night won the GOP nomination to face Coons in November — a result that has split the national Republican Party.

But Reid said Coons would have won even if Rep. Mike Castle (R) had prevailed over O’Donnell.

“I’m going to be very honest with you — Chris Coons, everybody knows him in the Democratic caucus. He’s my pet. He’s my favorite candidate,” Reid said.

Harry Reid Played by Dr Evil & Chris Coons … Mr. Bigglesworth, the next Senator from DE?

Video Hat Tip: Hot Air

As stated at Hot Air, how could any one think referring to another individual as a pet is a benefit and a glowing endorsement? You have basically stated that the man cannot win on his own without your help. With the toxic nature of Obama, Reid and Pelosi, what Democrat would even want their help these days?

Harry Reid all but guaranteed a victory in Delaware for Democrats and his new pet. Harry Reid may want to worry about his own race in Nevada against Sharron Angle these days. His pet? Yes, this is creepy, actually beyond creepy and Michelle Malkin nails it in words and picture.

Do you get the feeling that Democrats are dancing in the streets a bit too early here? That they have already counted their chickens? Is Delaware starting to take the appearance of Massachusetts all over again?  Hell, Obama has to go to Connecticut to campaign for the “truth challenged and a few misplaced words”Democrat candidate Richard Blumenthal who once had over a 20% point lead on GOP challenger Linda McMahon … it is now down to 6.

Hypocrisy: Democrat Senate Majority Leader Harry “Mr Green” Reid Shows Up at Clean Energy Summit with Fleet of SUV’s

Harry Reid, It’s not easy being GREEN … SUV’s For Me, Not for Thee …

If this does not summarize the hypocrisy and arrogance of Harry Reid and Democrats, what does? Democrat Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid showed up at a Clean Energy Summit in Las Vegas in what else … a fleet of SUV’s. You just can’t make this stuff up. Why would anyone vote for this guy, talk about a fraud. Seriously, how does one preach to other about the evils of carbon based emissions and then show up to the event with an armada of GMC Yukons and Chevy Suburbans?

How can anyone take this “green” message seriously when the individual who organized the event rides to it with a fleet of gas guzzling SUV’s?

Harry Reid, Prius what?

Clean, Green Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid rolled up to the Clean Energy Summit in Las Vegas, Nevada last week  in a fleet of giant SUVs.

Democrat US Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid Breaks With Obama and Says Mosque Should be Built Some Where Else

President Barack Hussein Obama’s comments on the defence of building o mosque near Ground Zero in NYC has caused Democrats to run for the exits away from Obama if they dare even think of having a chance in this Fall’s midterm elections. Democrats cannot flee from Obama fast enough.

Reid to Obama: You said what!!!!

What Democrat wants to be a part of apolitical ad that has them agreeing with the terror group Hamas when it comes to building a mosque near Ground Zero?

How extreme and out of touch with the American public is President Barack Hussein Obama’s position on the building of a mosque near Ground Zero in NYC, even Democrat Senate Majority leader Harry Reid is breaking ranks with The Chosen One. Reid basically believes, as most every one, that the group has a legal right to build the mosque near Ground Zero; however, the Muslim group is wrong to exercise that right.

Obama claims to try to bring individuals together and claims to try and bridge the divide between Americans and the Muslim world, yet this amateurish President has any made things worse and upset all sides. How Obama cannot be a leader and adopt the principles of House Republican Leader John A. Boehner shows how little this President has an understanding of leadership.
