Never mind that it's a complete lie because that overall number is due to them equating "every second from January 21st, 2009 on" with "On Obama's Watch", an statement only chronologically true. The first 7 months' numbers were a result of the economic policies (and lack of economic policing) of the Bewsh II Administration, not Obama's.
