Bush created under 10,000 jobs in his first term.

All the 'no president has been reelected with (fill in your favorite negative economic statistic) ignores history: Bush had numbers that made Hoover look good, and he got reelected.

Comparative analysis: at 90k jobs/month, Obama's jobs creation does in nine days what Bush did in four years.
