#1 is not even accurate. Obama hasn't destroyed the private-sector, merely put huge constraints on it with oppressive regulations. Punishing success while picking and choosing winners.
UPDATE: Jobs Under The First Bush Term Vs. Jobs Under The First Obama Term - Business Insider
Original Story:
Austerity At Work | The Big Picture
Obama Jobs Record Lie #1: "Obama's unemployment numbers would look a lot worse if he didn't create a bunch of government jobs!"
DEBUNKED: The lines on the right, Obama's first term, show local AND state jobs plummeting downward. While, mysteriously, on the left, in Bush's first term, both shoot way up. Hmm. Weird.
Obama Jobs Record Lie #2: "Obama has killed the private sector!!!!"
DEBUNKED: Quite to the contrary, you can see from his red line compared to Bush's he actually added enough jobs in his first term to put his tally up above Bush's. So, yeah. There's some bullshit.
Obama Jobs Record Lie #3: "We'd have a lot better outlook if Obama wasn't spending us into a oblivion!!!"
DEBUNKED: As the last chart shows, Obama's spending has tipped drastically downward over his first term. Bush's climbed up and up and up his entire two terms.
#2 is false because Obama has cut more jobs in the public-sector than he's created. The only job growth that exists in the economy is in the private-sector which he has nothing to do with.
#3 Obama didn't cut spending. Congress stopped him from blowing trillions more than he would have had he still had a Democrat majority. Bush spent more his last two years because Democrats won both houses and increased the deficit from $169 bil in 2006 to $490 in 2007 to $1.3 trillion in 2008.
Sounds like you need this,..

How many times are you going to ask this?
Yeah! I'm gonna ride her over to my candy house on gum drop lane.
It's government candy housing though, so it's actually nothing but Werther's originals
Where is the federal employee plot on that chart? States are broke, so they are slashing spending. This makes sense. What about the federal employees vs. the private sector?
I wish i could find harder data.
Anyone can pick and choose data that says what they want it to say, whala a chart comes into existence that even matches the data. Neat little thing data is.
Well, yeah. the original OP chart is void of federal employees vs. private employees. I wonder why that is? Could it be because the federal government employs more people than the private sector, which would make the entire argument that Obama has not increased the size of government void and therefore a lie?
That's what i see here. The federal govt. has steadily grown while the states/locals are forced the slash spending due to budget shortfalls.
That graph was the only one I could find on it because it seems people want to talk about the pay between private/public more than the figures on how many people the federal govt. employs. Which by the way, is sad. [B]The federal workers make almost double that of the private workers that pay the public workers salaries[/B]. That's not sustainable. Especially if federal payroll head counts continue to increase.
