You sure? Just think of how much money was spent to buy Valentine's gifts for Sandra Fluke from all of her male (or female, not that there's anything wrong with that) "friends"

She's been very busy.

He didn't create all of those jobs. They were created. That said, he's done a decent job of doing what he can to get the economy back on track. The President only has so much influence on that also.

He started his job and was handed a mess. The mess is slowly sorting itself out, but until housing is back to normal the economy will still suffer.

It is painful for regressives and conservatives to be told that 2011 (except during the drama-in-congress days last Spring) and 2012 so far have been among the best years in over decade as far as private sector payroll goes. I believe, at 216K, Feb 2012 ranks second only to Feb 2006, if we counted private sector payroll growth since 2000.
One could counter that those dates are somewhat aligned with a majority right congress, no?

One could... but they will have to do a lot of explanation which is beyond their mental capacity... guaranteed.

Same as trying to explain how Obama did it all by himself I assume. Even more so that this is supposedly an "obstructionist" congress.

Or it could be a good example of why there shouldnt be one party in control of the oval office, senate and house.

Since the OP says Obama created these jobs they should be able to tell us exactly how, right?

Yet more cheering from the Peanut Gallery for Obama...


About 160k of private jobs added in Feb are 'low-paying work' which left average hourly earnings up only 0.1% (notes David Ader at CRT) - hardly the recipe for a sustainable recovery.

Yeah, I just read the BLS report myself.
Business services, healthcare services and leisure services were the bulk of the jobs.

Oh, I see. I guess it must have been Rick Perry that created those jobs in that case..........
