This is the weakest political argument I've ever seen - we're arguing about semantics.
The CEO of Caterpillar has even come out after Tapper launched his ridiculous line of questioning at the press conference to say, "Hey, Obama was right, we might be able to rehire some workers on the condition of the stimulus bill passing, along with international economic recovery and not immediately."
I also watched the Peoria conference live, and never did Obama say, "This bill passes and we hire ALL the workers IMMEDIATELY."
This is beyond dumb, siamesedreamer. Of all the things the GOP or you could make a fuss about, this isn't it.
