ROMNEY CHART FALSELY BLAMES OBAMA FOR JOB LOSSES IN 2007, 2008


From Think Progress

To accompany his jobs speech in Nevada this afternoon, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney (R)released a packet that laid out his plans. On page 16 of the packet is a chart highlighting statistics from past economic recoveries and is presumably supposed to show how poor Obama’s record compares to past presidents. The chart, however, calls the period of time from 2007-2009 the “Obama recovery,” blaming him for the poor job numbers over that three-year period. As Romney surely knows, however, George W. bush was serving as president in 2007 and 2008, and Obama did not take office until January 2009.
