Democrats will just about say anything nowadays. You have to wonder, after reading the article below, exactly who is Debbie think she’s fooling. Who is the audience? Is the audience people without an internet connection? People who cannot do a quick search and find her statements false? Have I answered my own question? Is her liberal base in Floriduh comprised of individuals who take what she says as scripture? Watching the democrats flounder like this in the runup to the November elections is like watching a dog die. Its terrible….almost sad. According to Florida congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, President Obama is on pace to create more jobs in 2010 than President Bush did in his eight years of office. “On the pace that we’re on with job creation in the last four months — if we continue on that pace — all the leading economists say it is likely that we will — we will have created more jobs in this year than in the entire Bush Presidency,” Wasserman Schultz, a Democrat from Weston, said on FOX News. Let’s look at the Bureau of Labor Statistics data. During the Bush presidency, net total employment went up by 1.08 million jobs. So far, during the Obama presidency, total employment has been reduced by 3.3 million jobs. Under Bush, private employment shrank by 673,000 jobs, federal employment grew by 50,000 jobs, and government employment grew by 1,753,000 jobs. Under Obama, the private sector has shed some 2.9 million jobs while the federal government has grown by 40,000 (after growing massively, the federal workforce shrank throughout the summer). Total government jobs, however, shrank by 357,000 jobs, mainly because of cuts at the state and local levels. ’d call this nut, busted. Strike three! Next! Let me tell ya. If the above had even the slightest hint of truth to it, don’t you think the White House would be posting it in neon with a 60 piece brass band in this hour of need? Wouldn’t Gibbs be calling press conferences to shout their successes in this area until he was blue in the face? Nah. It took a Florida Congresswoman to find this tidbit of BS, and an army of leading economists who are an apparent mystery. Give us names Congresswoman.

I enjoyed reading the comments, especially this one; Meanwhile, last month we lost 159,000 government jobs and gained 64,000 private sector jobs. So what exactly is your complaint again?
Obama is black.
I think that's what it boils down to. If McCain won and turned in the economic performance Obama has, folks like NGT would be cheering from the rafters. Oh well, as of November 6th this the GOP's baby, so any further economic bad news past that date falls squarely on their shoulders, right?
