2. Actually, Obama has less federal employees than Reagan.

Even PolitiFact says GOP claims are a lie: http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2011/feb/15/john-boehner/john-boehner-says-200000-new-federal-jobs-have-spr/ In previous fact checks, we have rejected the idea of adding temporary Census workers to federal job totals. While the statements we rated previously aren’t structured in exactly the same way as Boehner’s, we think the general principle remains valid -- that when you’re counting the rise or fall in the number of federal workers over a long period of time, it’s cherry picking to count the creation of temporary jobs but not their elimination. All told, we find that Boehner’s 200,000 number is way off. We rate it False. ********************** This might help with the first claim.
