The problem with this assertion is the classic example of limiting your dataset to get the desired results.

Almost all of the jobs created during the Bush administration were during the first 6 years. Almost all of the jobs lost during the Bush administration were during the last 2 years.

What was different between the first 6 years and the last 2 years? Among other things, the Republicans the House of Representatives for the first 6 years, and the Democrats controlled the House for the last 2 years.

This is usually called "lying with statistics".
