He did not cherry pick information
If he had said "I created 6 million jobs" the proper place to start would be his inauguration
What he said was "business has created 6 million jobs" so the proper place to start is after the recession turned
I don't care where he starts at, the man is still a PROVEN LIAR
If we had that many jobs we wouldn't be sitting at almost 8% unemployment
Why not????
Pingy, I suggest you quit asking everyone to show their math, especially since the numbers the employment agency uses are estimates anyway. This is why they are adjusted up or down later.
I also feel you're being disingenuous because the picture Obama paints isn't as pretty as the reality. He talks about 6 million jobs created not by him but by job creators that are constantly under attack by him personally. They don't deserve to be successful he always says. If that is so why does he imply that he is responsible for their success.
I figure if Obama can't take blame he can't take credit ether. Nobody has named the program he is responsible for that created one job in the private sector. Only the jobs in the federal public sector.
