What to you call people who when caught lying, will look you straight in the eye and keep lying?

The largest stimulus program in the nation’s history has created or saved at least 650,000 jobs, according to a report released by the Obama administration on Friday.

The White House said the actual number of jobs created so far is likely closer to 1 million, since its report on stimulus job creation only focused on $150 billion of the $339 billion in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds spent so far.

Their numbers have immediate problems:

Two weeks ago, the government provided an early glimpse of the challenges of transparency when it reported that 30,383 jobs had created by stimulus-funded federal contracts given directly to companies. Within hours, errors emerged, including an initial report that a French vaccine maker received the largest stimulus contract, $1.4 billion. In fact it received an award one-100th the size.

If they have to advertise…

    This has to be the most pussified administration in history. Seriously. They whine and complain more than a gut-shot poodle.

    It is an odd, and we’d say regrettable, pattern of this White House that it lets itself get dragged down into fights with specific media outlets.

    George W. Bush experienced acrimony with the New York Times, but for the most part, other than general frustrations of a conservative administration, complaining about a liberal media, it was no big deal.

    But in addition to Fox News, now The White House is going after highly-respected and influential car site Edmunds.com.

    Blatant lying has become the new norm from political leaders. It’s no longer shameful to be caught. Lying is expected and shrugged off.

    We get what we tolerate.
