Some have said that the stimulus hasn't saved any jobs, but here is a case where at least one job was saved.

According to an unnamed source, Oregon State University Athletic Director Bob DeCarolis was considering firing their basketball coach, Craig Robinson, after an 8-11 start (2-5 in the Pac 10 conference).

When word of this reached Washington , Undersecretary of Education Martha Kanter was dispatched to Corvallis with $17 million in stimulus money for the university. The source now says that Craig Robinson's job is safe for this year.

For the record, Coach Robinson just happens to be Michelle Obama's brother.

Craig Robinson took a team that went 6-25 in 2008 to an 18-18 record and a CBI Championship in 2009. But if your unnamed source says he was going to be fired half way through his second season, how can anyone possibly argue with that?

And you know contracts mean shit. Coaches get fired and quit all the time.

Oh I know, but he won't get fired because he's related to the Obamas.

In fact, by the time 2016 rolls around, he'll probably be Head Coach and Athletic Director at Duke University! Am I right? I mean, if he can survive an 8-11 start in his second season as coach of Oregon State, who knows what kind of strings BHO is pulling from Washington!!

According to my unnamed source, he has a resume in at Kentucky right now, and guess who he has listed under References?
