From the MacIver Institute folks.... who actually fact-checked Governor Doyle's Green jobs claims.

In all, at the time of our search, the database claimed 7,632 jobs among the eight manufacturers that were current primary suppliers to the wind industry.  Yet, the MacIver News Service was only able to identify 31 jobs at those companies which were specifically tied to wind energy related products.

    Obama must be embarrassed that Doyle didn't claim 2.5 million jobs. Those are the fake numbers Obama used. The dems better get the same lie going FAST.
