This is why you shouldn't trust the Media.
On the MSN.com home page there is a headline that say "120,000 Jobs gained in January." When you actually go to read the article, (which few people do) it says "112,000 Jobs gained." That's quite a typo!

3. Job Statistics
This site kicks butt if you like stats:

Run a report going back forty or more years and you'll see that the economy does in fact run best when a democrat is in the white house.
