My plan for a stronger middle class will create 12 million new jobs
by the end of my first term

Mitt “47%” Rmoney

Romney has repeated this statement many times over the last couple of months. A lot more often over the last couple of days as he attempts to save his serious fail of a campaign.

So he is going to create 12 million jobs in his first term? That is an interesting number. 12,000,000 jobs. So, a presidential term is 4 years. Hmmmm, doing the math, the arithmetic as former President Clinton mentioned, would mean that Romney would have to create an average of 250,000 jobs a month, EVERY MONTH, for his entire presidency. Now, here is how unlikely that is, there has been only 5 years out of the last 50 years that we have EVER averaged 250,000 jobs a month in a year: 1977, ‘78, ‘84, ‘94 and ’97 were the only years that happened in. Mitt the twit is either a fool or a liar...I tend to believe its both.

Romney has about as good a chance of creating 12 million jobs as he does of getting “those people” to vote for him in November.

as a great man once said, "Don't Boo, VOTE!"
