Romney's Big Lie: Obama "Has Not Created Any New Jobs"
Think Progress - Of course, like Romney's repeated assertions that Obama made the economy "worse," the claim that he hasn't created any new jobs is false. As Steve Benen noted, the private sector has added 2.3 million new jobs since March 2010, and it took the Obama economy one year to create more jobs than the economy under President Bush did in eight. There are, indeed, fewer net jobs now than when Obama took office early in the recession, but his policies, including the stimulus, effectively turned months of job losses into months of consistent job gains.
