Hilarious, Sad, And Totally Predictable

So there were some accounting mistakes. I don't see what is so funny here.
 
""We report what the recipients submit to us," said Ed Pound, Communications Director for the Board.

Pound told ABC News the board receives declarations from the recipients - state governments, federal agencies and universities - of stimulus money about what program is being funded.

"Some recipients clearly don't know what congressional district they live in, so they appear to be just throwing in any number. We expected all along that recipients would make mistakes on their congressional districts, on jobs numbers, on award amounts, and so on. Human beings make mistakes," Pound said."

It's not exactly what I would call funny.
 
Obama doesn't know the name of every district in the US, he also doesn't know how many jobs are being gained or lost by each one.

Here's how it works with every pres. ever. A staffer collects the data, the president reads it, trusting his staffer did his work accurately because the President himself doesnt have time to go into all that detail for everything. A staffer must have simply used outdated data from before the last Congressional district restructuring.

O MY GOD.
