Dour results for Obamaconomics already? President Obama has repeatedly said the $787 billion stimulus plan passed by Congress last month would save or create at least 3.5 million jobs. But today House Democrats heard a sharply downsized prediction: 1 million fewer jobs. Did that come from the Rush Limbaugh site? Nope: ABC News.

Fifty-eight years ahead of the curve: "We will have a world government whether you like it or not. The only question is whether that government will be achieved by conquest or consent." (Paul Warburg, February 17, 1950, as he testified before the U.S. Senate.)

Some good Leno recently:
Over the weekend in D.C., first lady Michelle Obama was at a homeless shelter serving food to the homeless. Isn't that nice? Reaching out to the middle class . . .
President Obama signed a bill overturning Bush's restrictions on stem-cell research. He said stem-cell research can help save lives, cure diseases, help develop better hair plugs for Joe Biden.
President Obama said that he is against human cloning. See, I think there ought to be exceptions. For example, let's say Obama can find a nominee who can pay his taxes . . .
