No Runny Eggs

The repository of one hard-boiled egg from the south suburbs of Milwaukee, Wisconsin (and the occassional guest-blogger). The ramblings within may or may not offend, shock and awe you, but they are what I (or my guest-bloggers) think.

Well, Which Is It?

First, it was 2.5 million jobs:

Obama outlines job-creation plan

Followed by,  3.0 million jobs:

Obama ups jobs goal to 3 million on bad economic news

Next, 3.5 million jobs:

Obama: Stimulus will create 3.5 million jobs

Followed by:

Obama: Plan would create 4.1 million jobs

Earlier last week, President Obama claimed that without his plan 5 million jobs would dissapear:

“each day we wait to begin the work of turning our economy around, more people lose their jobs, their savings and their homes. And if nothing is done, this recession might linger for years. Our economy will lose 5 million more jobs. Unemployment will approach double digits. Our nation will sink deeper into a crisis that, at some point, we may not be able to reverse.”

By Saturday, he had reversed that claim.   In fact, he had reversed out of nearly all the claims he had made and was back to merely:

save or create 3 million jobs over the next two years.

One of the first things that detectives look for when interviewing a witness is consistency in their answers.   When a witness provides inconsistent answers to the same, repeated question, it typically indicates one of two things.   Either,  the witness never saw the event and thus, doesn’t know what they are talking about or, they are lying.

I’ll let you decide why President Obama can’t find the same answer twice.
