In case you were unclear about today’s message…

Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) is relentlessly on message today, whacking the administration on jobs:

The media falls for Obama’s patently phony ‘jobs’ claims: http://bit.ly/SDNZx #tweetcongress #tcot

Would anyone in the press care to ask President Obama how he conjures up “jobs saved or created” #’s? http://bit.ly/SDNZx

By President Obama’s metric, I just “saved or created” a million jobs sitting here! What a liberating prestidigitation! Try it yourself!

“I just saved money on my car insurance…and 2.3 million jobs!” http://bit.ly/SDNZx

Our economy has LOST 1.6 million jobs and unemployment is at 9.4%…yet Obama claimed 150,000 jobs “saved or created”? FUZZY MATH ALERT

At the grocery store: “Here’s a coupon to save me money. Oh, and I just saved 150,000 jobs too.” http://bit.ly/SDNZx

Well, at least Issa is doing all he can to keep the good people at Twitter employed.

Meanwhile, ABC’s Jake Tapper responds to Issa’s claim that the media has let Obama slide on job loss:

@DarrellIssa that q has been asked + answered sev times, including yesterday at the briefing. check out

inaccurate conserv meme today about how no one in media has ever asked WH about claims to have created 150k jobs etc. untrue.
