Apparently, Obama cut the unemployment numbers in half in just over a few days ...

in the debate, Mitt Romney claimed that there were 23 million unemployed in this country.

In a sound byte I heard on the radio yesterday (by a station which uses Fox as its news break source), Mitt reminded people that there were still 12 million unemployed in this country (and it's all Obama's fault).

Damn, if Obama can cut the numbers that well and that quickly, then let's keep him in office!

(I know, I know, in the debate, Mitt included the "underemployed", someone must have smacked him in the head about "facts" ... maybe even used "his" line "You're not entitled to your own facts." How original ...)

Like you said, he has his facts and they seldom mesh with the real facts.

What amazes me is how he can remember all the lies. Years of practice? I'll bet he was a real problem as a child, unless he lied so much even his parents couldn't keep track.
