Difficult for Obama to defend his sorry performance as President..but..even worse he didn’t seem prepared and seemed to meander without his teleprompter. Romney had a stunning performance. I only wish when Obama was going on about how he had enabled more to attend college through expanding student loans, Romney would have noted that 50% of those graduates can’t find employment.

Did Obama say he put 23 million to work? What?????

Actually, at some point during the debate, Romney did say that graduating students can’t find jobs.

I wish someone would jump on this.

There are approximately 310 million people in the US.

A work force of about 160 million. An unemployment rate equal to when he took office.

He claims 23 million new jobs. Thats about 14% of the entire work force.

According to BLS.gov, the highest unemployment rate was Oct. 2009, of 10%, its now 8.1%.

A drop of 1.9%

1.9% of 160 million is about 3.15 million.

Simple Jr High math would smoke that number.
