Barack Obama took office in January 2009, they say and point out the fact that from January through July 2009 the United States lost approximately 5,000,000 private sector jobs.
Therefore Barack Obama's claim of the private sector creating 4,500,000 jobs under his policy watch is a lie since there were 5,000,000 private sector job losses from January to July 2009.
The Republicans say Barack Obama lost 5,000,000 private sector jobs in his 1st six months in office then gained 4,500,000 in the next 29 months, therefore loosing 500,000 private sector jobs.

Here you find the facts in a proper context.
Barack Obama took office in January 2009; during his 1st quarter in office (4-months) there were 3,153,000 private sector job losses; all thanks to the Barack Obama being left a United States Economy devastated by the George W. Bush Administration with Republican Lead Congress in six of the previous 8 years.
Reality is, it takes a few months to have a new congress and administration fill all open positions and have those people in place understanding the severe condition of the economy that was left to him by our Republican colleagues.
Barack Obama's policies started having affects on our economy in his 3rd month in office, by cutting average job losses per month in half. And in half again in the next three months, bringing positive private sector job creation beginning in month fifteen to date.
Reasonable people know that it takes months for stimulus dollars to filter through the entire economy. The results don't lie, the stimulus package from Barack Obama and Congress worked; it halted the extreme free-fall of our economy and we need to than Barack Obama for his strength, character and love for country.
Stay the course!
