Obama’s Inflated Jobs Claim

[Clementine]

Don't shoot the messenger, libs. This is on yahoo headlines and they usually go out of their way to make Obama look good.

In a new TV ad, President Obama makes an inflated claim to have added 5.2 million new jobs. The total added during his time in office is actually about 325,000.

According to the most recent employment figures from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the economy has eked out a net gain of 325,000 jobs since January 2009, when Obama took office. And that’s giving credit for roughly 386,000 jobs that the BLS has announced, on a preliminary basis, that it will be adding to this year’s employment totals next year, as a result of its routine annual “benchmarking” analysis.

Wow, no libs are going to jump on this and claim yahoo news is lying? Maybe the figures from the Bureau of Labor Statistics is bias??

Or maybe some want any thread that doesn't praise Obama to get buried. Just in case, BUMP

Everyone who isn't an ObamaBot already pretty much knew this but it's good to see it posted here. I think the slow reaction to it is because there is nothing to argue, Obama lied his ass off and people know it.

You forgot to add in the 4.9 million "jobs saved" by the stimulus package. Remember those?
