Average number of Jobs created per month by Bush? 20,000 in 8-years

AVERAGE NUMBER OF JOBS CREATED PER MONTH BY THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION: 20,000

AVERAGE NUMBER OF JOBS CREATED PER MONTH BY THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION EXCLUDING THE DISASTROUS LAST YEAR: 65,000

NUMBER OF MONTHS IN THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION IN WHICH THERE WERE 500,000 OR MORE JOBS CREATED: 0.

(In fact, there were no months in the Bush Administration in which there were 400,000 jobs created).

that means just under two million jobs created under Bush in 8-years vs. over 4.5 million private sector jobs created by Obama in under 4 years.

Jobs numbers, like anything, do no move in a straight line. Obama deserves 4 more years.

baffles me. If anything, Mitt's inclination is to try to create the same template that worked for him. I think that would mean even less jobs for this country, but the 1% would do extremely well with even more taxcuts, loopholes, and benefits from a Rmoney administration. It's Democratic policies that grow jobs in this country. The facts, unlike Republicans, don't lie.
