Unicorns and Obozo Jobs

Some Obozo spokescritter claims that Obozo 'created' more jobs than Reagan 'created'.

Umnnnnhhhh......no.

...When Obama was sworn into office, there were 111 million private sector jobs. At the bottom of this recession, private employment fell to 106.7 million. Today, the U.S. economy supports 111.3 million jobs. So, from bottom to top, the Reagan recovery created 6.1 million private sector jobs while the Obama recovery has only created 4.5 million jobs. And from inauguration to August of reelection, Reagan created 4.2 million private sector jobs to Obama’s 312,000.

The total jobs numbers are even worse for Obama. When he was sworn into office, the U.S. economy supported 133.5 million jobs overall. Today, it only supports 133.2 million.

Look!  Look!  SQUIRREL!!!! UNICORN!!!!!!

It really helps to make your "case" when you use "inauguration" as your base point, doesn't it?

US economy added jobs every month in the last six months of the Carter administration and the first six months of the Reagan administration.

US economy LOST jobs every month in the last six months of the Bush 43 administration and the first six months of the Obama administration.
