Obama to "Create or Save" Jobs?

I'm watching the endless, Castrovian run-up to President Obama actually putting his John Hancock on the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Jeebus H. Christ, how much Joe Biden can a fella take? Just shut up and sign it already!

In this speech, Obama continues the sleight of hand regarding the promised job creation in the bill.
