And Romney created them 10000 times faster than Obama.. Thanks for showing us how bad of a choice it would be to vote for Obama.

A decade is a period of 10 years.

Governors are elected for a period of 4 years, except for Vermont and New Hampshire. Those Governors serve 2 year terms.

Enough comedy.

He was Governor from 2003, to 2007, and i'm not enough of a supporter to care what year he started, and stopped. The comedy is your non stop bashing of Romney with meanignless data which when put next to Obamas accomplishments, makes Romney look like a genius..

Nice try.

Romney uses Bain to create an example of his ability to create jobs, in spite of Bain's statement in response to the Wall Street Journal in which it backed away from any credit for employment numbers.

Gotta go, c-ya.

Is this like Obama taking credit for creating jobs despite the fact that 1.5M more are out of work now then when he was sworn into office?

He was too busy running for President to create jobs and Mitt was too.

In 2002 Romney wasn't the Governor of Massachusetts.

When Romney was Governor of Massachusetts, unemployment decreased in Massachusetts but it increased in Delaware, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, South Carolina, South Dakota and Tennessee.

Did these states, as you suggest, experience greater job growth than Massachusetts during this period?

In 2003, when he took office, unemployment was 5.6% and rising (6% by June).

After peaking, unemployment continually declined during his single term to 4.6%.

Yeah, I see Romney bringing up unemployment.

This is so ironic, the left beating up on Romney, for his term as governor, because his state was not creating enough jobs when they had 5% unemployment???? When we have Obama is president, and an historically high unemployment with a net loss in job growth, and a 30 year low in work force participation. Please, don't throw me into that 5% unemployment briar patch.

The Obama campaign can't make an add beating up Romney for his 4-5% unemployment, but I'm sure they will try.

Pretty much all Obama has to bash Romney is - he's a rich, and successful guy. That's about it. Obama will allow his PACs to go after Romney's religion, that will be his ace in the hole.
