Blame 9/11

I could have edited the last post, but I thought these numbers should stand alone in a separate post - they are culled from the same page.

Net job creation during the Clinton administration: 22.7 million

Net job creation since Bush took office in 2001: 2.6 million

Doesn't seem likely that Bush will be able to create an additional 20 million jobs in the next 2.5 years, in order to even match his predecessor. I doubt enough McDonalds could open in the U.S. to create that kind of job growth.
