  well Pat I would say you don’t watch Fox every night when he’s on. You think everything MSNBC says is like coming from the Bible.

  I wonder if CBS is going to get a spot on the WhiteHouse s*** list now. I know CBS has shown questionable journalistic integrity in the past (see Rather,Dan) but this can’t be good.

  KATIE COURIC, HOST: Now let`s get back to that $787 billion stimulus Anthony mentioned. Earlier this year, the president claimed it would create or save three million jobs. There are some questions about how many it may have created so far. Chip Reid is at the White House tonight. And, Chip, I know the administration is putting out a jobs report card tomorrow. What can you can tell us about that?

  CHIP REID, CBS CORRESPONDENT: Well, Katie, that report is going to claim that the stimulus has already created or saved hundreds of thousands of jobs, but if the administration`s first effort at counting stimulus jobs is any guide, tomorrow`s numbers could be hard to believe.

  Oh no, ABC just made the list too.

  http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2009/10/160000-per-stimulus-job-white-house-calls-that-calculator-abuse.html

  So let’s see. Assuming their number is right — 160 billion divided by 1 million. Does that mean the stimulus costs taxpayers $160,000 per job?

  Jared Bernstein, chief economist and senior economic advisor to the vice president, called that “calculator abuse.”

  He said the cost per job was actually $92,000 — but acknowledged that estimate is for the whole stimulus package as of the end of 2010.

  You might find this poll interesting, on whether Obama, or Fox News is right. From PollDaddy.com

  The White House on this one; Fox News isn’t “fair and balanced.” 24% (173,284 votes)

  Fox News on this one; it asks questions others don’t and the White House should be able to handle them. 74% (539,023 votes)

  Neither side. They’re both trying to play this “feud” to their advantage. 2% (11,717 votes)

  The source for the poll was NPR: http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2009/10/in_white_house_vs_fox_news_war.html

  Wake up, SNuss. That NPR poll was unscientific, and therefore the results are worthless. It was on online poll with a self-selected sample, and Web sites on both the left and right of the political spectrum encouraged readers to vote. Utterly worthless. Read this story on that phony poll: http://rawstory.com/2009/10/conservatives-win-npr-poll-wh-fox-war/

  Pat you and your Polls. Just like when they do phone call ones when they call 30%more Dems on a issue what helps BOBO. That happen just the other day with ABC on a Health Care issue.

  I suppose you disagree with this Gallup poll, too.

  “Conservatives” Are Single-Largest Ideological Group
  Percentage of “liberals” higher this decade than in early ’90s
  by Lydia Saad
  PRINCETON, NJ — Thus far in 2009, 40% of Americans interviewed in national Gallup Poll surveys describe their political views as conservative, 35% as moderate, and 21% as liberal. This represents a slight increase for conservatism in the U.S. since 2008, returning it to a level last seen in 2004. The 21% calling themselves liberal is in line with findings throughout this decade, but is up from the 1990s.

  AND:
  Poll: How Liberal or Conservative Are Americans?

  Rasmussen Reports has taken a look at how conservative or liberal the voters are in different aspects of their every day life. They found that 41% of the voters think of themselves as conservative when it comes to the issues of taxes, government spending and the regulation of private business while 41% consider themselves to be moderates and 12% say they are liberal.

  Meanwhile, when it comes to social issues, 37% think of themselves as conservatives, 30% say they are moderate and 30% liberal. This includes issues like abortion, praying in public and the separation of church and state.

  Breaking it down by political parties, 67% of the Republicans think of themselves as being conservative on fiscal matters while 50% of the Democrats and 49% of the independent voters think of themselves as being moderates when it comes to fiscal matters.

  Then they took the fiscal and social issues and put the results together. The largest segment of the population, 24% say they are conservative on both the fiscal and social issues while 17% consider themselves to be moderate both fiscally and socially, 14% who say they are moderate on the fiscal issues and conservative on the social ones 10% who consider themselves to be fiscally conservative and moderate on the social issues, 9% who say they are liberal on both the social and fiscal issues, and lastly, 6% who say they are conservative on the fiscal issues, but liberal on the social ones.

  America’s takes a sharp turn to the Right

  Among the striking findings in a new Gallup Poll on Americans’ shifting political attitudes is their growing anti-labor feeling. The percentage of Americans saying they would like to see unions have less influence in the country spiked to a record-high 42% in August 2009, compared with 32% a year earlier.
