To give the media credit

I so often blast traditional media for ignoring facts and for being biased I should give them credit when they step up
and here are 2 examples when they stepped up

first is CNN explaing the complete reality to BO's and all other supporters claim that he has ' created 4.5 million jobs
from linl
"While that is indeed a gain of 4.5 million, it's only a net gain of 300,000 over the course of the Obama administration to date. The private jobs figure stood at 111 million in January 2009, the month Obama took office."

and then HuffPo. of all sites, went after Michelle for trotting out the same talking point
'He brought our economy from the brink of collapse to creating jobs again -- jobs you can raise a family on, good jobs right here in the United States of America,” Obama said Tuesday night.
The only problem: that’s not exactly true.

The unfortunate reality is that most of the jobs created under President Barack Obama’s administration pay low wages. About three-fifths of the jobs created during the economic recovery are low-wage, while most of the jobs lost during the recession paid middle-wages, according to a recent study from the National Employment Law Project. More than 40 percent of the jobs created during the economic recovery have been in low-paying sectors like retail, food and employment services.

Yes, if you lose as fast as you gain then you didn't do jack ****. The sad part is that while the net job increase was about 300,000, the population grew by about 7 million in that same timespan which means we're about 6.7million backwards.
 
"The unfortunate reality is that most of the jobs created under President Barack Obama’s administration pay low wages."

Wait a sec... I thought Rick Perry took credit for creating the low wage jobs!
