David Gregory Challenges Valerie Jarrett on Claim Obama has "Turned the Economy Around"

Mrs Boomstick pointed out the following Freudian slip from the transcript...

MR. GREGORY: You can't say you've turned the economy around when there are four million jobs that have been lost on the president's watch.

MS. JARRETT: You didn't let...

MR. GREGORY: When the debt is higher and the stimulus did not produce the jobs that the administration said it would.

MS. JARRETT: Well, I actually disagree with everything you just said. Let's, let's take a look. We have pulled it back from the brink of disaster. That was our first and primary goal. The president took some bold steps that were not necessarily popular, but that did stabilize the financial system. This is a long haul, David, and we are not satisfied--having any American who wants to work unemployed is something that the parent--the president takes to heart each and every day. This isn't something that's going to be repaired in one year. We're going to have to push forward. But that doesn't mean we give up and that doesn't mean that jobs haven't been a top priority from day one.
