"You Lie" - Fact-Checking Obama's SOTU Job "Gains" Claims

'Via FactCheck.org,

President Barack Obama’s final State of the Union address came up short of the facts on several topics:

He embellished his record on jobs, citing “more than 14 million new jobs,” without mentioning that’s only private sector jobs and only since the job losses hit bottom in February 2010.
Obama similarly omitted part of his presidency in boasting of nearly 900,000 manufacturing jobs “in the past six years.” Over his entire time in office, manufacturing jobs have gone down by 230,000.'

...

'Manufacturing — Obama also cherry-picked when he spoke of manufacturing jobs. The president said, “That’s just part of a manufacturing surge that’s created nearly 900,000 new jobs in the past six years.” The gain was 878,000 to be exact, measured from the low point in his presidency.

But of course, he has been president for seven years, not just six. And over his entire time in office, the U.S. has lost 230,000 manufacturing jobs, dropping from 12,561,000 jobs in January 2009 to 12,331,000 in December 2015, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.'

Someone is surprised that a politician would embellish his record?
 
Like the SOFTU speech, the election TV and talk radio - they all serve their ultimate purpose for the war machine powers that be -AND THAT IS TO KEEP THE WORKING CLASS AND THE MASSES DIVIDED AMONGST THEMSELVES, whether its along financial, religious, ethnic, or Party lines while the Pentagon and the intel agencies steal all the American peoples tax dollars!

Obamas lying about ISIS victories, we've seen no evidence of his successes in either Iraq or Syria.
