Clinton: 22.5 million jobs created; Bush 3.7 million.

Under 8 years of Clinton: 22.5 million!

Under 8 years of Bush: 3.7 million!

Under Bush BEFORE the recession began 4.6 million.

This doesn't count December and January, which will subtract at least 500,000 from the already paltry Bush totals.

There are many caveats, to be sure. After the very strong job creation record under Clinton even a successful Bush presidency would have created many fewer. But not nearly this many fewer.

Folks, we all know failure when we see it. But sometimes in life numbers have the power to just boggle the mind. Sometimes numbers crystallize things for you.

yeah, but we all know Clinton ****** Monica, so he couldn't have been a good president, right? ;0)

If there is one thing that the past 8 years taught me is this: Bill, ALL is forgiven!

Bill tried very hard, and usually at least fairly sucussefully to govern responsibily - to follow policies that made sense both in the short and long term, particularly with respect to the economy.

Bush, to say the least, didn't. Being an adult on policy matters one hell of a lot more who a prez sticks his dick in.
