Hope this doesn't keep you from being able to give some thanks tomorrow:
House Republicans asked the Obama administration to stop touting the number of jobs “saved or created” by the $787 billion economic stimulus law, citing widespread reports that the data are inaccurate. They requested a response from the administration before the Dec. 3 White House “Jobs Summit.”

“The inaccuracy of the job creation and retention claims posted on the Administration’s website, www.recovery.gov, has not prevented administration officials from touting this misleading and inaccurate number as evidence that the president’s stimulus spending package is succeeding even as the unemployment rate continues to rise,” House Minority Leader John Boehner of Ohio and Rep.

Hard to believe, but it looks like the solar power pipe dream (for now) is poised to become even more uneconomical compared to, well, every fossil fuel and nice, clean nuclear. Enviro news is reporting:
Solar thermal projects are sprouting in the Southwest like desert flowers after a rain, spurred by the Obama administration's energy agenda and state renewable mandates. But a showdown over their water needs could now preclude the cheapest technologies.

But, get this, the people answering the survey are clearly uninformed mass-media bots that haven't actually been following anything and they still don't support him. You know they haven't got a clue because of this: "And by a lopsided margin, respondents said that Mr. Obama and not Republicans had made an effort to cross party lines and strike a deal that has the support of both parties." You know they're ignorant because Obama has adamantly refused to meet with Republicans, the Democrats have uniformly rejected all Republican amendments to their plans by party-line votes, and Republicans have not been asked to be involved in a single legislation-writing session.
