PERHAPS WE'RE MISSING THE MOST IMPORTANT WAY IN WHICH THE UR IS POST-PARTISAN...:

Recovery Act job-creation math doesn't add up in Colorado (Burt Hubbard and Miles Moffeit, 11/01/09, The Denver Post)

The federal government reported Friday that Colorado created or saved 8,094 jobs through grants, loans and contracts funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.

Problem is, the figure is wrong, according to an analysis of recovery.gov data by The Denver Post.

Although a Colorado Springs Head Start program reported it had created or preserved 269 jobs, the real number was three, according to an interview with a program manager. And although the largest private contract in the state funded with stimulus dollars was estimated at $166 million, the number was off by tens of millions, apparently because of a data-entry error, contract information shows.

He's destroying the Katrina canard, that government ineptitude is a function of Republican governance.
