For the first time in his presidency, Barack Obama can call himself a job creator.

There are now more U.S. jobs than when he took office. Not by much, but they've moved out of negative territory, according to a Labor Department revision.

Perhaps they should ask where these jobs materialized. Just because it is said doesn’t make it a fact.

What difference does it make how many jobs there are. The question is. How many people are unemployed or have given up even looking for jobs.

Funny you never heard the AP report that Obama was under water in job creation until the day his Labor Dept does a revision to make it no so. Now he’s a job creator. Where were the stories for 3 years that Obama was the first non job creator?

In every campaign stop he now says his work isn’t done and I believe him; there are still people with jobs and businesses that are running.

Somebody at the labor department is getting high fives for this.

You can hide the truth using imaginary numbers—maybe for a little while. But the truth will clobber you in the end.

The BLS, the FBI, ATF, DOJ, DNI, et al - all these underling units are his to control....the DOJ to implement illegal gun walking operations, the BLS to manipulate employment numbers, the DNI to lie and accept blame for a WH lie re: Libya, and on and on and on and on.

When you control the gathering, manipulation and analysis of the facts, you can do whatever you want - make the data say whatever you want.

The key questions to ask are:

Have ANY of your taxes gone down?

When was your last raise if you have a job?

Has your employer expanded (hired people?)

Is your paycheck still buying the same amount of goods and services as it did?

Is the value of your house still what it was?

Are there still many empty storefronts and unbuilt housing developments in your area?

How many new cars do you see at dealer lots versus what you saw 4 years ago?

Even IF true, that’s still pitiful. Considering that population has increased by over 7 million.

Date Population
Jul 1, 2012 313.85 million
Jul 1, 2011 311.59 million
Jul 1, 2010 309.33 million

The Truth Fairy can create as many jobs as he wants the enemamedia to report with the wave of his wand.

PROPHETIC!

Communist do not relent power easily. This “revision” was in the works for months.

Bank on this: Due to this “revision” (an extra 400k jobs), we will now see the unemployment rate tick down to 7.9% next week.

It’s all planned. And there will be more to come.

I have a perfect commercial for the pubs....

a picture of fubo in his typical mussolini pose, with a voice over saying “Obama’s job creation plan, take this (picture of a welder working on a job) and turn it into this (picture of a fast food worker).

Voice over, “ Is this the plan america want’s?”

Well, we live in the real world where we get all the news. Many Americans pay no attention at all and when they do, they listen to MSM only.

All that is needed is a sound byte declaring Ostupid a job creator and voila, he is!
