abcnews.go.com — The Obama administration, under fire for inflating job growth from the $787 billion stimulus plan, slashed over 60,000 jobs from its most recent report on the program because companies had submitted "unrealistic data", according to a document obtained by ABC News.

"People are simply calling foul because he failed to bring this info forward on his own - he had to be called on it before bringing it forward.">> EVERYTHING Bush did for the economy was a bald faced lie. So exactly WHICH false stat, that the administration gets, do we need to be honest about, to show the American public how screwed we are?Yeah, there is a lot of BS -- but you guys haven't noticed for 9 years until the Democrat took over. There isn't much good news -- to be honest. So there is a bit of spin involved. The Stimulus can't show all it's effects if the economy is in a nose dive -- you can merely show that you slowed the collapse. "Caught?" You got a pig sty you are trying to grow some cabbages in and someone turns on a flash light. Surprise! If you could round up half the people at the top of these oversight agencies now, you MIGHT get someone who is not an industry lobbyist.>> The current administration has demonstrably MORE honesty -- but not nearly enough. You have to shovel out the horse stall one scoop at a time folks. Where has the hot shot reporting on these made up stats been all these years, eh?

Um actually we did grody,That the numbers were posted at all for people to read is a tribute to transparency. Do you think our last administration would even think of posting such info?

Really do they have an incentive to try to convince everyone that they made 5000 jobs from 42000 dollars?If they were trying to mislead people they would have posted about 200 million dollars instead.

JK he isnt talking about anyone who is asking that. He is referring to those who are jumping to conclusions.

Everyone is sorry, or 'didn't know' after they are caught or as the CRU is saying now 'out of context'.

I know I'm against the world's biggest conartist: Barack Obama, his scams run into the trillions and he hasn't even been in office a year. This ponzi scheme he's using our tax dollars would make Bernie Madoff proud.
