Not all numbers lie. To be Fair and Balanced, Obama's administration did provide the economy with a few undeniable, even historical, ones that both sides of the aisle should remember.
For instance; 2200 GM/Buick dealerships HE insisted be closed, and in fact were closed, before HE would allow GM a debt guarantee be associated with its bankruptcy authorized 'turn-around plan'
However, the admins' Economic adviser recognized the potential for public outcry and created a specific auto industry stimulus plan; "CASH FOR CLUNKERS" (how'd that work out?)
Then there were the 10,000 new 'auditors' HE had the Treasury Dept. hire to police our healthcare because, if you didn't participate, you were committing a crime. And never should we forget the 3 million +/- happy to be going to their respective full-time jobs that were reduced to part-time solely because of OUR national healthcare program. Such are factual numbers one can blindly follow and should never forget...lest we follow them to hell.

I wonder what statistic you found that said those 3 million +/- were "happy" to be going to their respective full-time jobs, and how many were relieved because they could reduce their workload to part-time solely because of OUR national healthcare program?
