M-BS-NBC: Martin Bashir Falsely Claims Obama Created 3 Million Private Sector Jobs
It certainly is no surprise the Obama-loving media are doing a jubilant victory lap over the stronger than expected headline figures in Friday's unemployment report.
Also not at all shocking was MSNBC's Martin Bashir falsely claiming on the show bearing his name Friday, "Under this president over three million private sector jobs have been created" (video follows with transcript and commentary):
"If I may just interrupt you for a moment, under this president over three million private sector jobs have been created." -- Martin Bashir, February 3, 2012
Actually, no.
When Obama took office, there were 110,985,000 private sector workers. As announced by the Labor Department Friday, that number currently stands at 110,436,000, a decline of 549,000.
And this man has his own nationally televised show to lie to the public.

Associate Editor’s note: As you are likely aware, since the financial collapse of 2008, charities and non-profit organizations have seen a sharp reduction in donations. Although the environment has improved, contributions are still nowhere near where they were prior to the recession. Unfortunately, the Media Research Center has not been immune. With this in mind, your support has become more important than ever. With a critical election approaching, the liberal media needs to be monitored 24/7. As we have been predicting for months, the press are willing to do anything to get their beloved politicians elected and/or reelected. As such, we need your help to fight this fight. Any contribution, even $10, is greatly appreciated. Please consider a tax-deductible gift to the Media Research Center to help us battle the liberal media. Thank you.

Liberals have to lie, since the truth is not on their side.
Wow, that is no mean feat for the Dear Ruler

...especially when you consider that government doesn't actually create jobs, but positions - for which they have to suck a lot of disproportionate resources out of the private sector in order to create and maintain.
Maybe Obama's next neat trick will be to push for a sure-fire method of eradicating camel fleas.
LOL - I bet that would positively give mullah Marty here a woody.

seems like an exercise that never ends. I mean, outside of when they show Lockup, when are they not liberally biased?

2 jobs created minus 3 jobs lost = 2 jobs created
I was looking at data on the SSA web site and noticed that during the Bush administration there were roughly a net 300,000-350,000 social security recipients added each year including all categories. The last few years it has been 500,000-550,000.

Bashir falsely claims human status as well, and I don't believe him in that respect either. His opinion is but a fart in the breeze here in the land of Bobsmom.

over the last 3 years....(gawd O'bama been CinC for 3 years)
That will total be in the millions, nice the lefty washer of all things camel missed that.
Oh yea one lost job is a tragedy, a million is just a statistic.
The 5 trillion of wealth destruction under O'bama is equal to the wealth destruction of our share in WW-2....
What's it going to take.... Two WW-2 equivalent spending units. Before bowboy is booted.

Maybe this administration has caused a boon in the liberal-blogger world, but I doubt that they added 3 million of them....besides, most are funded by Soros, so shouldn't he get some credit, too?
The anti -Christ revolutionists in France

followed the doctrine of "audacity ever more audacity!"
Keep the lies going and growing and enough fools will believe the audacious lies as the truth. It worked in revolutionary France. The Jacobins leading the uprising made living conditions for Fenchmen worse than they had lived under one of the most benign monarchies in Europe.
The leaders of the revolution trashed an entire economy to make a point: take God out of man's life and replace Him with the god of the state.
All the lies that Obama has put millions back to work due to Obama's miraculous jobs programs are nothing but a repeat of the Jacobins and Illuminists that spread their lies throughout 18th century France.
Obama has been successful at copying the Jacobins' formula and in fooling millions wiith his forked tongue. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacobin

Hell, I held off for over 2 years to build a garage/workshop and decided that so many unemployed craftsman plus cheap prices on materials, just couldnt hold off any more, Between the concrete, framing, electrican and others, at least some of my neighbors were able to put food on their tables. Never mind the ass-wipe sitting in the peoples house
Cheap prices on materials,

Cheap prices on materials, Patriot?? Jeez ,the only thing that has gone down over here in the People's Republic of Hawaii since Boy Blunder took over is the size of wages and income.................everything else continues to climb at varying rates.
Good for you to put these guys to work - that's more than we can say for Boy BlahBlah..............I guess you WERE 'shovel-ready'.
I believe this like I believe
Submitted by killa37 on Sat, 02/04/2012 - 12:14am.
I believe this like I believe Boy Barry is a Christian. When we've got a shrinking number of actual jobs, and a growing number of people who have either run out all of their unemployment benefits, or have stopped looking for work (maybe they'be gone on the GROWING numbers in the welfare and food stamp areas), as well as a variety of other ways that the REGIME reporting agency has to manipulate the unemployment numbers, as well as the 'jobs created', or even more ludicrous 'jobs saved' - and with stoooopid f**king idiots like the Basher reporting the party line - it's not hard for them to come up with SMALLER unemployment and LARGER 'job creation'..................although NEITHER one of these statements is factually true.
Not only is the Basher a knee-pad wearing, anti-American, foreign dilettente who is probably a mooooooooooooooooslem, although he claims to be otherwise (kind like his man crush Boy Barry)..............he's also uglier than the backside of an unwashed camel, and he's duller than Boy Barry trying to answer a 'real' question.

I can't believe people like this actually want us out here to take them seriously. I mean look at this pathetic leech! He is such a poor "reporter" he didn't check a single fact. And he didn't know one. If that's not a boot lickin toadie, then I've never had one lick my boots. I'm pretty sure, that's a boot lickin toadie.
