There are no lies from the white house; at least not yet with this administration. Those problems are all related to the contractors filling their paperwork incorrectly and not knowing which congressional district they are in or in not reporting the jobs created for the money they got or vice-versa.
Nobody said contractors were the best in the world at paperwork. The website reports the information coming in on the forms. No part of any discrepancies has anything to do with the white house or dishonesty on the part of the white house or even those sending in the reports, though it does seem to point at some contractors who are hopefully better at construction than they are at paperwork.
The factcheck.org article you linked to says the GAO says the numbers are plus or minus 50,000 which means at the worst, the stimulus package has created nearly 600,000 jobs.
