Nope. There were 9 million jobs created under Carter, and 332,000 (so far) for Obama.
The worst job creation numbers were for our last president - Bush. 646,000 jobs were lost during the Bush 2 years.
Edit: that's LOST, not gained.
Yet you forget the #'s of people added to the possible work force, which is MORE than that number.. hence why we have more out of work
There is a net loss of jobs under Obamalama...
No, not a net loss, a net gain. A net gain of 332,000 private sector jobs, so far.
Here's the complete list:
Republicans
Richard Nixon: Increase of 7.1 million jobs
Gerald Ford: Increase of 1.3 million jobs
Ronald Reagan: Increase of 14.7 million jobs
George H.W. Bush: Increase of 1.5 million jobs
George W. Bush: Decline of 646,000 jobs
Total: Increase of 23.9 million jobs under Republican presidents
Democrats
John F. Kennedy: Increase of 2.7 million jobs
Lyndon B. Johnson: Increase of 9.5 million jobs
Jimmy Carter: Increase of 9.0 million jobs
Bill Clinton: Increase of 20.8 million jobs

Absolutely false
