Wrong (once again.) This is from the transcript of Bill Clinton's 2008 Democratic Convention speech, where you said he claimed credit for 40 million jobs:
Clinton claimed the official BLS figure.
If that is true, isn't the opposite argument also true? The right-wing blames Obama for not creating enough jobs. If "jobs are created in the private sector, not by the executive branch of government," then how is that criticism valid?
Well, it was another speech he claimed the 40 million then. Doesn't change the fact that there were simply were not 22 million people added to the workforce. And I said "I believe" that is where he said it. I didn't say it as fact. But go ahead and say I did anyway. lols.
Presidnet Obama campaigned on creating jobs. His stimulus was gonna create jobs. Cash for Clunkers was gonna create jobs. If he doesn't want the blame for no jobs he shouldn't have said he was gonna create them in the first place.

I like how the left wingers non stop find excuses about how Obama not creating new jobs, isnt his fault, nor his responsibility, and about how Obama isnt responsible for deficits and spending that he signs into law, but Clinton, he's to credit for "surpluses" that didnt exist, and new jobs that were created..
1) Granting permanent most favored nation status to China for trade. The result has been increased trade deficit and increased outsourcing. Clinton viciously attacked anyone who claimed what did happen would happen. Even some liberals are now recognizing this damage.
3) Enacting NAFTA with bipartisan support. Many people feel as if this hurt the economy and made many Mexican farmers unemployed, some of which moved here.
These were very "free market capitalist" ideas. Liberals and unions at the time went insane over it and said Clinton threw them under the bus.
Clinton sent troops into more countries for military action than all other Presidents combined.
We were basically in constant war while he was in office.
Plus, he kept the sanctions on Iraq when he had 8 years to lift them. Guess he agreed with both Bushes.
Anyone that thinks the Clinton years were peaceful is a moron or ignorant.
