Check your math: Total Nonfarm Jan 2009 133.561 million Oct 2012 133.755 million Sure look like a gain to me. The math is easy. A net 194,000 more jobs. In his first term, Obama reversed the damage he inherited from the previous administration. In his second term, Obama will reverse the damage done during the previous administration. If America doesn't (*)(*)(*)(*) it up and put Bush Redux in office tonight. 133.755 million - 133.561 million doesn't equal - 624,0000.
Obama didn't do (*)(*)(*)(*). Stop crediting him for what would've happened regardless. There would've been no depression if the stimulus hadn't passed. None at all, that is a (*)(*)(*)(*) myth. Stop pushing it. "Stimulus" was about PORK and nothing else. It didn't work, and we would've at WORST been in a same shape we are today if it hadn't passed. Obama did not turn us around. The Market turned itself around naturally and the "help" Democrats gave did nothing but spoil the recovery. Plain and simple. Why can't you wrap your mind around that?
This is from the guy who told us that unemployment "almost certainly" would be in double digits in 2011 and remain there.
