BARACK OBAMA

Sometimes It Feels Like Obama Governs a Whole Different Country

Suddenly, Obama's claim to have visited 57 states...

... makes a bit more sense:

In fact, Recovery.gov lists hundreds of millions spent and hundreds of jobs created in Congressional districts that don't exist.

In Oklahoma, for example, the site lists more than $19 million in spending — and 15 jobs created — on Congressional districts that don't exist. In Iowa, it shows $10.6 million spent – and 39 jobs created — in non-existent districts.

In Connecticut's 42nd District (which also does not exist), the website claims 25 jobs created with zero stimulus dollars.

We should have caught on quicker when we saw listings for jobs created in Bloom County, Gotham City, San Andreas, Sunnydale, and Sodor.

UPDATE: A reader reports, "I have heard the congressmen representing Lake Woebegone, MN and Margaritaville, FL are livid those communities did not get their fair share of stimulus funding."
