David Axelrod, U.S. President Barack Obama’s chief political adviser, said Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney lacks evidence to support his claim of being a “job creator.”

Romney, former chief executive of Bain Capital LLC, has said that companies the private equity firm helped start or manage have created more than 100,000 net jobs.

“He can’t back up that number,” Axelrod said today on the ABC news program “This Week With George Stephanopoulos.” “Neither he nor his campaign can furnish any evidence to support that.”
