And the unemployment rate will still be 9%+.

Nothing to get excited about.

That comparison comes with many footnotes and asterisks. But it shows how the economic debate between the parties could look very different over time -- perhaps by November, more likely by 2012. More important, the comparison underscores the urgency of repairing an American job-creation machine that was sputtering long before the 2008 financial meltdown.

More job creation THIS YEAR than entire Bush Presidency!?!?
Suuuure! The national unemployment figures are quite low already... around -5%, you would think?

I guess the new tax burdens from 0bamaCare and the ever looming threat of 0bama signing his version of Carbon Tax and Trade are encouraging more job creation. Woo hoo.... way to go 0bama... we just cannot wait for your words to come true:

So more jobs get created and unemployment continues to rise and we rejoice ?
Why did they not count 2009 with Obama's numbers ?

Why all of the Bush years and only 5 months of Obama's 1.4 years ?

In 2004, Over 2 Million Jobs Were Created. (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, www.bls.gov, Accessed 1/6/10)
In 2005, Over 2.5 Million Jobs Were Created. (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, www.bls.gov, Accessed 1/6/10)
In 2006, Over 2.1 Million Jobs Were Created. (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, www.bls.gov, Accessed 1/6/10)
By 2007, 5.7 Million Jobs Had Been Created Under Bush. (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, www.bls.gov, Accessed 1/6/10)
