Here it is, from the top;

This morning, Republicans were pointing to an unemployment rate that ticked up a bit, to 9 percent nationwide. Obama, in Indianapolis, was celebrating a different number: 268,000 new private sector jobs added in April.

“That means over the last 14 months,” Obama said, “we’ve added more than 2 million jobs in the private sector.”

That came, he said, despite “serious headwinds” for the economy, including the Japanese earthquake and tsunami which has disrupted industry here , and “high gas prices that have been eating away at your paychecks.”

I thought the official number of jobs gained was 244,000. That's what the article stated in the initial post. So can Zero read...or is he lying...or are they just making up numbers now?
