From this Thursday night&#8217;s Anderson Cooper 360: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.buzzfeed.com\/zekejmiller\/anderson-cooper-explains-non-partisan-congressiona\" target=\"_blank\">Anderson Cooper Explains Non-Partisan Congressional Budget Office To Top Romney Adviser<\/a><font color=\"#0066cc\"><\/font>:<\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0in 0.375in; font-family: \"><font style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Romney Communications Director Gail Gitcho says the \u201cCBO\u201d report from the Obama administration claimed that the stimulus would keep unemployment below eight percent. The CBO doesn&#8217;t work for Obama, as Cooper notes, and it never wrote that. The eight percent figure comes from a projection authored by Obama aides <\/font><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/blogs\/fact-checker\/post\/mitt-romneys-claim-that-obama-said-stimulus-would-keep-unemployment-below-8-percent\/2012\/02\/17\/gIQA9A8MKR_blog.html\" target=\"_blank\">before he even took office.<\/a><font style=\"font-size: 12pt\" color=\"#0066cc\"><\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: normal; margin: 0in; font-family: \"><font style=\"font-size: 12pt\">These surrogates get used to getting a lot of fact-free, unchallenged air time way too often. It was nice to see one of them challenged when trying to tell a few whoppers as Gitcho was here.
