CHUTZPAH: Obama Rips Romney's Economic Record

The Obama campaign has a new television ad attacking Mitt Romney’s economic record while governor of Massachusetts. The Obama Ad claims that under Gov. Romney, Mass. “fell to 47^th in job creation, 4^th from the bottom” Actually the state was last – 50^th when Romney took office. Yes it was 47^th while on it’s way up to 30^th by the time Romney left office (a big improvement).

        Meanwhile, nationally, there were 11.6M people unemployed when Obama took office. Now a little more than 3 ½ yrs. into his presidency there are 12.7M unemployed. The unemployment rate was 7.8%, went to 10% and is now at 8.2%. It’s at 8.2% now only because so many people have stopped looking for jobs that don’t exist and aren’t counted. If that weren’t happening, the unemployment rate would be about 11%.

        Debt: federal debt was at $10.6 trillion when Obama took office. He has added $5.1 trillion in only 3 ½ yrs (more than Bush added in 8 yrs) to make it 15.7 trillion.....MAYBE OBAMA SHOULDN'T BRING UP THE ECONOMY
