They could have been overseas. Maybe he thought building Jeeps in China counted. Or maybe he was planning to annex Taiwan

I believe this was subsequently downgraded to 8-9 million. These will occur if Obama measures and Health Care law continue to be put in place. RMoney was referring to measures and programs established by Obama.

I am not sure you are aware of this, but Mitt Romney was trying to take credit for jobs that economist were already expecting.

Romney has promised 12 million jobs in his first term, or about 250,000 jobs a month. Economists say the economy would likely generate that amount of jobs anyway.
