Newt Gingrich said Friday that the Labor Department fudged its calculation of February unemployment: “If we had the same level of participation in the labor force we had the day Obama was sworn in, it would be 10.8%. Obama’s achievement has not been creating jobs, his achievement has been driving people out of the workforce. That’s not progress, that’s going backwards and it makes him the best food stamp president in American history.”
