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:

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