FoxNews.com - Senate Majority Leader
Harry Reid’s curious claim this week that “private sector jobs are doing just fine” has given Republicans more ammunition against
President Obama’s jobs bill and led Democrats to distance themselves from the statement. Reid made his comment on Wednesday during a speech on the Senate floor, where he pushed for passage of legislation to hire
teachers and police. “The massive layoffs we have had in America today, of course, are rooted in the last administration, and it is very clear that private sector jobs are doing just fine,” he said. “It’s the public sector jobs where we have lost huge numbers, and that’s what this legislation is all about.” Since Obama took office in January 2009, the public sector has lost 607,000 jobs while the private sector lost 1.6 million, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Herein lies the root problem in our country. Though 1.6 million jobs have been lost since Obama took office, the senate majority leader tells an outright lie at the podium claiming that, ...private sector jobs have done just fine under Obama..." Next Reid will be telling the American people there is no national deficit and that we've accumulated a surplus of tax revenues since Obama took office. And the lamestream media says NOTHING.
