Democrats on Capitol Hill began a nervous debate Wednesday about the course President Obama has set for their party, with some questioning whether they should emphasize job creation over some of the more ambitious items on the president's agenda.

Fox lying about it isn't new. By now, neither is the painful sight of TeamO leaping into action to defend the image as quickly as they slink away and hide when it's time for Obama to show some affirmative leadership and create change.

"I think that will absolutely scare these members of Congress so much that Pelosi will not get the votes and it will kill the bill. I think it could be dead for 10 years. Why won't we? Why won't we go for broke?"

Yes, let's totally scare our democratically elected Congress into doing nothing.  That's a great idea!

Party leaders put their best face on Tuesday's results.

Pelosi, pointing to Democratic House victories in special elections in New York and California, said: "We won last night."

The office of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid circulated an analysis arguing that "gubernatorial races are primarily about local issues," and that it's therefore "hard to draw any direct comparisons between what happened in New Jersey and Virginia and what will happen in Congress."

But some Democrats weren't buying the spin.

"We got walloped," said Sen. Mark Warner, the junior Democrat from Virginia.

Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) said it was "nonsense" to suggest that the results in New Jersey and Virginia represented a referendum on President Barack Obama. To the contrary, he argued that the results meant that Democrats should redouble their efforts to "make sure we deliver on the promises of the last election."

But if Tuesday's results leave red-state Democrats nervous about health care reform, a climate change bill and regulatory reform, it's going to be harder -- not easier -- for Van Hollen and his leadership colleagues to develop that record of legislative accomplishment.

And that's certainly where things seemed to be headed Wednesday. As Pelosi's office ordered members to stay in town for a possible Saturday night House vote on health care, other Democrats were suggesting that it's time to take the foot off the gas.

WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama's economic recovery program saved 935 jobs at the Southwest Georgia Community Action Council, an impressive success story for the stimulus plan. Trouble is, only 508 people work there.

The Georgia nonprofit's inflated job count is among persisting errors in the government's latest effort to measure the effect of the $787 billion stimulus plan despite White House promises last week that the new data would undergo an "extensive review" to root out errors discovered in an earlier report.

About two-thirds of the 14,506 jobs claimed to be saved under one federal office, the Administration for Children and Families at Health and Human Services, actually weren't saved at all, according to a review of the latest data by The Associated Press. Instead, that figure includes more than 9,300 existing employees in hundreds of local agencies who received pay raises and benefits and whose jobs weren't saved.

That type of accounting was found in an earlier AP review of stimulus jobs, which the Obama administration said was misleading because most of the government's job-counting errors were being fixed in the new data.

The administration now acknowledges overcounting in the new numbers for the HHS program. Elizabeth Oxhorn, a spokeswoman for the White House recovery office, said the Obama administration was reviewing the Head Start data "to determine how and if it will be counted."

But officials defended the practice of counting raises as saved jobs.

"If I give you a raise, it is going to save a portion of your job," HHS spokesman Luis Rosero said.
