USA Today Busts Obama on His Lies: 2014 State of the Union Update

USA Today busted strongman Obama on his lies:
It's true that nearly 8.2 million private sector jobs have been added since February 2010, which was the low point of the great job slump that began a year before Obama took office and continued through his first year. But total employment has risen less – by 7.6 million — held back by layoffs of state and local government workers. Obama was technically correct, as he was careful to speak of jobs "our businesses have created."

His 8 million figure also leaves aside the nearly 4.2 million private sector jobs that were lost between the time he took office and the time the slump bottomed out. Overall, the net job gain since he took office stood at just over 3.2 million (or nearly 4 million if counting only private sector jobs), as of the most recent Bureau of Labor Statistics figures for December.
What would socialism be without lying about facts???
