DNC Romney attack #fail

DNC stenographer Greg Sargent is attacking Mitt Romney again, this time for Romney’s claim that Obama “has not created any new jobs.” Sargent responds: “But as Steve notes, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the private sector has added around 2.3 million jobs since Obama took office.”

That is just plain false. Obama was inaugurated in January 2009. The Bureau of Labor and Statistics jobs report for that month shows the U.S. economy had 112.04 million private sector jobs at that time. The most recent jobs report, posted on December 2nd, shows that U.S. economy has 109.72 million private sector jobs.
