Rational or Ridiculous
by: Larry Walker, Jr.
So the latest spin by the left-wing media and the White House is to repeat the following mantra, "Obama created more jobs in 2010 than Bush did in eight years." However, how much sense does it make to compare an arbitrary nine-month period for Obama to a full eight-year term? Well none, none at all, at least not within the realm of rational human thought. For those of us who are rationally-minded, we will begin with the month that Obama took office, and compare his full term to-date with whomever.
Turning to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), when we added up the total number of private sector jobs created during Obama's short twenty one month tenure, we found that a total of 2,991,000 had been lost (110,961,000 - 107,970,000). Oops!
Total Private Sector Employment (BLS)
Busted!
Although I too could cherry-pick and find periods where private sector job growth was up by 4 or 5 million under Bush, I choose to remain among the rational. Needless to say, private sector job growth was at least slightly positive over Bush's eight-year term, while under Obama, the words - worst track record in history - come to mind.
Is there no shame?
