Obama is probably using the same math that says he "saved or created" two million jobs while unemployment increased. Especially in those districts that don't exist.

Well at some point, the economy will indeed recover. Its a cycle.. One can debate how much Obama is to credit for the recovery, or blame for slowing a recovery, but the recovery will come because thats what happens after recessions..

I would think if they played with the numbers a little more, like they did with the January UE rate, they could come up with a better figure than that.

They actually have the gall to say they've created 2 million jobs, even though we lost 4 million on his watch...and the media gives him a pass.

Those districts actually do exist. Haven't you heard? According to Obama, there are 58 states. Unfortunately that seems to be where all the new jobs and rampant prosperity are going. It is indeed tragic that the vast majority of Americans choose to live in those 50 states that are in a freaking depression

Obama lives on a different planet that exists in a different universe inside his head where the physical and apparently economic laws we are bound to simply don't apply. The sad part is that I think he truly believes the nonsense spewing from his mouth.
