Via Xenos and Steve Benen, let's take a trip down memory lane and recall Mitt Romney's big jobs promise during the 2012 campaign:
I can tell you that over a period of four years, by virtue of the policies that we put in place, we get the unemployment rate down to 6 percent, or perhaps a little lower.
Well, Mitt, hate to break to you, but we're not even halfway through President Obama's second term and the unemployment rate is already under six percent. And it's not just the unemployment rate, either. In September 2011, Romney pledged to create 11 million jobs in his first term:
In a rare off-the-cuff speech – Romney boasted a notepad of notes and said in an apparent dig at President Obama that he was not using a teleprompter – he detailed a jobs plan which he says will lower the unemployment rate from the current 9.1 percent to 5.9 percent by the end of his first term as president and create more than 11 million new private sector jobs during the same time period.
Based on the last six months of jobs data, we're on track to create ... drum roll, please ... more than 11 million jobs during President Obama's second term. And given that job growth has been accelerating, don't be surprised if we surpass those numbers.
if I might quote one of Romney's party members Mr. PERRY, OOP'S. for a guy who they sday is the worse President ever he always seems to be several steps ahead of them. out of curiosity can they sight one of their presidents who equals his accomplishments at this time in their presidencies, not Reagan.
