The Trunk: ThinkProgress: "FACT: Obama's job-crushing economic policies have created 1.67 million private sector jobs in 2011"
Because, obviously, it was President Obama’s policies that created these jobs. No one else could have done it, right? Private citizens couldn’t have done it. Companies couldn’t have done it. It must have been the policies. After all, the President does have policies, right? And some new jobs…
Though it does seem that we shouldn’t attribute the unemployment crisis to the job-restricting policies of your pants. If you had people running around blaming your pants for high unemployment, the numbers simply don’t back it up.
