Yeah...the numbers are bad (still) but....just think of all the jobs that Obama "saved" over the last 7 months!

Moreover, I have it on good authority that Obama's policies also saved the planet from a heretofore unknown asteroid strike- an asteroid that never materialized because of Obama.

His policies are also responsible for preventing a devastating plague outbreak that would have killed billions of people but, alas, that virus never appeared because of Obama's policies.

So, obviously, things could have been a lot worse if it were not for Obama. Yeah...we lost 250,000 jobs in one month but Obama "saved" over 3 million jobs!

See how easy that is?

That IS amazing. At this rate, in 10 months Obama will have saved enough jobs for us all to have two. I had to use my new Barackulator to do the math for that, but I'm pretty sure it is right.
