Un-Spinning Jobs Numbers

http://www.americanthinker.com

using the same measure Obama uses: private-sector job increases over the 30 months from the low point associated with a recession. And since the number of total private jobs varied from 37 to 115 million over those years, a percentage change is a more fair comparison than absolute numbers.

So how does Obama stack up against other recession-recovery presidents? The worst except for Jimmy Carter. That's because, in Carter's case, a second recession started within that 30-month window. [emphasis included]

Another winning issue for Romney.  Obama keeps touting it as a recovery, which it clearly isn't.  It isn't a recovery until jobs return to what they were before the recession began, and we are 4.2 million jobs short.
