163,000 jobs in July

Total nonfarm payroll employment rose by 163,000 in July, but we will soon hear the right claim not good enough, Obama is not doing his job, and other anti-American statements. I say, being a sound minded Democrat, that 163,000 jobs created is NOT 163,000 jobs lost. We CANNOT forget that a few short years ago, this country was losing 800,000 - 850,000 jobs a month, that the stimulus program did work to retain 4 million jobs, that there were tax cuts, and tax breaks. Lets think back to where we would be if the stimulus program never came about....no actually lets don't.

I mean I am sure all he has to do is make one phone call and Bain Capital will bring all the jobs they outsourced back to the U.S.
