Barack Obama's Record on Jobs

After taking office, President Obama signed the Recovery Act to help get our economy back on track. As a result:

• The U.S. has seen 23 consecutive months of private-sector job growth.
• The private sector added nearly 3.7 million jobs over those 23 months.
• The manufacturing sector has added 396,000 jobs since December 2009, with annual job growth in the last two years for the first time since 1997.

The President passed legislation to create jobs and support working Americans, including:

• A payroll tax cut for all working families, providing the average working family with a $1,000 tax cut in 2011
• Expansion of small business loan programs to help small businesses access credit and create jobs
• Initiatives to help veterans transition to post-service careers
• Tax incentives for businesses that hire unemployed veterans

The President made the decision to provide emergency loans to the auto industry:

• Saving more than 1.4 million American jobs
• Preventing personal income losses over two years of more than $96 billion
• Helping make the big three (Chrysler, GM, and Ford) all profitable for the first time in years

An American Success Story

Isn't it ironic that Obama, a snotty nosed kid on food stamps who given half a chance by this great country became the president of the united states, is being portrayed by the RepubliCants as anything but American He is the quintisential embodiment of an American.

From Andrew Sullivan and Newsweekk

When Obama took office, the United States was losing around 750,000 jobs a month. The last quarter of 2008 saw an annualized drop in growth approaching 9 percent. This was the most serious downturn since the 1930s, there was a real chance of a systemic collapse of the entire global financial system, and unemployment and debt—lagging indicators—were about to soar even further. No fair person can blame Obama for the wreckage of the next 12 months, as the financial crisis cut a swath through employment. Economies take time to shift course.

But Obama did several things at once: he continued the bank bailout begun by George W. Bush, he initiated a bailout of the auto industry, and he worked to pass a huge stimulus package of $787 billion.

All these decisions deserve scrutiny. And in retrospect, they were far more successful than anyone has yet fully given Obama the credit for. The job collapse bottomed out at the beginning of 2010, as the stimulus took effect. Since then, the U.S. has added 2.4 million jobs. That’s not enough, but it’s far better than what Romney would have you believe, and more than the net jobs created under the entire Bush administration. In 2011 alone, 1.9 million private-sector jobs were created, while a net 280,000 government jobs were lost. Overall government employment has declined 2.6 percent over the past 3 years. (That compares with a drop of 2.2 percent during the early years of the Reagan administration.) To listen to current Republican rhetoric about Obama’s big-government socialist ways, you would imagine that the reverse was true. It isn’t.
