Romney's campaign team touted the candidate's job creation record while he was governor of Massachusetts. But the state actually lost jobs on Romney's watch.
The campaign blames a tough economy, but holds President Obama to a different standard when it comes to job creation. Romney's attempt to boast about his record has backfired.
"Governor Romney only wants you to look at unemployment in the days right after the president took office,” said Ed. “That's before his stimulus package was even passed."

Ed wake up already...
Over 8% unemployment for the past 3 1/2 years.
Over 12 million Americans out of work!!!!
Why can' t the ed show deal in facts???
Mother goose called she wants you to stop using her fairy tales without her permission.
Oh wait, they're using the "Maddow Blog" as an objective reference, so we must believe what's written. lol Where are the government statistics for private sector job growth given the FACT that we have high sustained unemployment and record red tape and regulation coupled with the highest combined corporate tax rate in the world? More finger painting and crayon drawings from the left.
The figure you give is about the average amount of jobs being lost monthly as President Bush left office and President Obama took over. Nearly 4.5 million jobs lost before President Bush left office... 800k + his last month. We shed nearly another 4.5. million jobs before we hit rock bottom about a year later. That is nearly 9 million jobs. Because of President Bush's mismanagement. Now add to that the national average of 4/5% prior to 2008 = about 14 million. Those are the facts.
That is beside the fact that you imply that some how this is President Obama's fault. Ignorance and amnesia... not terrorism, are now the greatest threat to our democracy.
BTW that was in response to someone else that tried to throw numbers out there. All of you President Obama haters can throw out all the numbers you want, but that the doesn't change what created those numbers. And now you want to support someone like Mitt Romney whose solutions are the same policies that created this mess. Tax cuts (unpaid for) for the wealthy and less regulation. That's like trying to cure cancer with more cancer. I know that's an extreme way to put it but it's true.
Obama was a senator the last two years of the Bush presidency, so, Barry shares some of the blame of those last two years
Ed deals in riling up liberals. He makes a ton of money doing it
Damn you people live in a delusional world. "There are two kinds of republicans, the rich and the suckers'
John~ Where have you been? Boy, is that a true statement. The rich and the suckers. HaHaHa
He does. Why can't you accept facts. And how many times you going to post the same thing. You won't learn how the economy works. You won't accept the FACT that your do nothing congress has passed not one jobs bill. You just want to blame the President for all the ills of the world.
It's simple. The House GOP produced and passed several Bills that will help create jobs, but you have a "Do Nothing" Senate led by Harry Reid that is AFRAID to let those Bills come to the floor for a vote. You also have a Senate that won't propose any Bills for the House to consider, and you have a weakling in the White House that threatens to veto any GOP House Bill. So you have no one to blame but your own Democrats for our problems this term. You owned the Congress and shoved Obamacare through a GOP filibuster, so again... no excuses. Why did Obama's budgets get ZERO Democrat votes? Where are the jobs Democrats???? Where is the federal budget Democrats?
January 2009 obama takes office, 142,099,000 people on the job.
January 2012 141,637,000 people on the job.
Do the math, that is not growth, growth would be if the number of people working was more than when obama took office.

If people have not become aware of the Rep.... tactics by now and the public who are standing behind him should realise above all things. Evidentally Mitt feels he is not accountable for ALLof his Lies. Do you know Why------- The Bible states 28 times that "There is One God". Everyone of them have been removed from the Book of Morman. Christians out there if you condone His Lies , you are distancing yourselves from the ONE TRUE GOD.
Obama went to Rev. Wright's church of black liberation theology that is based in anti-white racism, and you're criticizing the Mormon religion? Truly hilarious. You don't even know what they believe. PROVE that the Mormon's don't believe in one God or Jesus Christ. Obama paid Rev. Wright $150K bribe to keep quiet.
dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2143817/Obama-tried-Rev-Wright-stay-quiet-paying-150-000-2008-campaign.html
Thats easily proved google it. Read up on the Morman religion before you state things that you don't no what your talking about. Read, research,learn then comment.
would you like all the scriptures references that are missing in the other book?
Here you go - straight from the Mormon official website, now show me where they believe in more than one God.
mormon.org/commandments
The Two Great Commandments
Our obedience to God's commandments comes from our desire to show our love for Him, for our fellow human beings, and for ourselves. While Jesus Christ was on earth, a man asked him, “Which is the great commandment in the law?” Jesus replied,
“Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets” (Matthew 22:36-40).
Jesus Christ teaches us in these few lines that at the heart of all these “do's and don'ts” is a focus on loving God and loving the people around us. As we think about the commandments listed below, it helps to consider how each of them relates to these two foundational commandments.
Here is a clue can't wait, Mormons believe they become gods of their own worlds after they die.
Why don't you go directly to the Word of God instead of the Words of man? So much has been omitted in the other book, and so much is false doctrine "Study to show yourselves approved" "There is only "One Book, One Story, One life and it is His Life" The Bible (The Gospel, the Good News). Anyone who removes or adds one word to this book will receive punishment.
2 tim 3:16----- "All Scripture is God Breathed. and is usful for teaching for rebuking, correction, and training in Righteousness, so that the Man of God is thoroughly equipped for every Good Work."
Why are you people still baptizing the dead.?
Jean.... If you feel that way, don't forget one of the most powerful men in our government, Harry Reid, the other Mormon.
Jean, Wacko and Ke$ha :
This country is on a DANGEROUS DOWNWARD SPIRAL, fueled primarily by dwindling petroleum resources...
...Private, profit-crazed, predatory corporate interests R RECKLESSLY engaged in SERIOUS MASSIVE ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION and/or DESTRUCTION OF OUR OTHER NATURAL RESOURCES, such as precious aquifers, IN ORDER TO SQUEEZE THE REMAINING "OIL" FRUM TAR SANDS BURIED IN CANADA AS WELL AS THE U.S.-- to fuel automobiles.
Same deal with mountain top destruction in West VA. and Eastern KY, to mine coal for electricity -- leading to toxic release of heavy metals into waste waters and soils, in addition to air pollution and ultimately manifesting in serious illness of residents and degradation of their local economies.... not to mention the DEATH of those Massey Energy miners and the resulting LIFE LONG impacts on their surviving families !!
Both crude and refined oil pollution via super tanker accidents, burst / leaking pipes and explosions of under-water deep wells R GRAVE INSULTS ON TOP OF ALREADY STRAINED ECOSYSTEMS; like the Gulf of Mexico where we have MASSIVE "DEAD ZONES" ( deoxygenated water, fertilizer runoff, toxic chemical dispersant and the resultant absence of marine life ) , or Alaskan coast line where oil sludge frum the Exxon Valdez STILL covers rocks and impacting sea birds and marine life there.
How about the CRITICAL SITUATION RESULTING FRUM NUCLEAR WASTE STORAGE PROBLEMS here in the U.S., as well as the migrating radioactive cesium and other particulates frum the ONGOING runaway Fukishima DISASTER of 2011-- milk in New Hampshire or other east coast state is testing POSITIVE now, as well as cesium contaminated blue-fin tuna frum off the Japanese coast showing up off California coast, and troublesome physical birth defects showing up in both fish and land mammals in DIRECT REACTION to those Japanese nuclear power plant emergency effluents.
OR the TEXAS SIZED trash giro out in the Pacific Ocean.
OR the BRAZEN THEFT and "REDISTRIBUTION" of wealth out of the hands of the bottom 60 percent INTO THE HANDS of the top 2 to 10 percent... and all the resulting socio-economic misery and building civil strife !!
AND U GUYS R INDULGING IN RELIGIOUS CHATTER based on BOOKS WRITTEN BY ANCIENT HUMANS -- as well as some contemporary ones frum the Mormon side ?? >>> with all due respect, WTF ?!!
I feel like I'm on the ARK and my fellow passengers R not focused on the most important priority --- keeping the vessel we all R dependent on 4 survival in SEA WORTHY CONDITION !!
GUYS, once we "reach land" U can indulge in such luxuries. BUT 4 RITE NOW, while this ship of state is navigating FRIGHTENING, TROUBLESOME WATERS, the PRIORITY is to keep this "ship" afloat --AND not run up on any ROCKS.
THAT MEANS ALL HANDS ON DECK -- put down yor Bibles and Korans and whatever other "inspired" documents / papers / books-- and FOCUS.
I could really care less whut U all believe or don't believe.
Devote yourselves to PRACTICAL matters -- the environment, the economy, the supreme lack of political will in Wash D.C. to do whut is CORRECT 4 this country, and the rest of the world.
FOCUS YOR ATTENTION ON SOMETHINGS THAT REALLY MATTER, like FIRING ALL REPO PARTY POLITICIANS ALONG WITH THEIR D.I.N.O. pals, like restoring funding of necessary gov't functions that TRULY serve society, like DRASTICALLY REDUCING OUR OUTRAGEOUS MILITARY PRESENCE AROUND THE WORLD AND THE RESULTANT SPENDING...quit the low-hanging fruit of biblical / moron (oops, Mormon ) based discourse !!
Blah Blah Blah. More nonsense from the lunatics in the Ed asylum that have no connection to reality; living in their fantasy Obama world of hope and change and dependency on the federal government because you're all a bunch of leeches that contribute little to society. Obummer/Boner will only have 1 term.
Wacko - Here is some good news for the Ed Campers. Unemployment 8.2% going up. Good Job Ed. I guess it's George and Fox News Fault AGAIN!
NOW WILL YOU BONE HEADS LISTEN TO US, OR DO YOU WANT MORE.
Ed, making a boat load on you chumps. Oh and another, Walker will win in Wisconsin. Even they have it figured out.
Here is a clue can't wait, Mormons believe they become gods of their own worlds after they die.
That's it? all you got??? go after his religion...
Did you notice the unemployment numbers today?????
Listen to the people who created the mess and has done nothing to help clean up the mess they made, right then in other delusion tea bagging republican fairy tale land news, the USS Teatanic hits another economic failure.
God's Word says "We are all created Equal. It doesn't mean equal in worldly matters, but in the sight of God, red, white, black or brown should be respected. You can tell a man's character by his actions, and each person knows what is in his own heart. The only heart seeable in the REPS is MONEY.
jean-3412708 Take the time and read, The Harbinger. Not being sarcastic.
34 years of republican failed economic policies with 4 years of republican failed obstruction you have the gall to say you know something other then economic disasters. Right tell me another fairy tale, the GOP has no plans except expanding GWB policies, oh wonderful news if you are dumber then a moron.
the UK Daily Mail is a scandal paper.
If you take the time to add the chart, you will find that president Obama has lost 740,000 jobs since he became President. If you do not believe that, please check the BLS. Mr. Ed is a fibber.
The figure you give is the about the average amount of jobs being lost monthly as President Bush left office and President Obama took over. Nearly 4.5 million jobs lost before President Bush left office... 800k + his last month. We shed nearly another 4.5. million jobs before we hit rock bottom about a year later. That is nearly 9 million jobs. I'm not into name calling but I will say you're not telling the whole story.
Lets assume you are right. The first 5 months of GW had job losses. Should they have been charged to Clinton? If you say yes, then Bush created jobs in the first 4 years of his presidency.
Still telling fairy tales I see. Here is a clue GWB did not create any jobs ever period never not once. But seeing as you are supporting a person, Mittens, who has lied so many times that he has to keep a plastic surgeon with him to bob his nose nightly.
There is a difference between an assumption and fact and what I state are facts. Go online, google it, it's not that hard to find these figures. What the right fails to realize is that, sure deregulation creates wealth but it does very little to create a long lasting stable economy. There is a difference between a normal economic cycle caused recession and a total meltdown or crash, which btw Republican policies and economic dogma have cause twice in less than 100 years... 1929 and 2008.
Why can't you realise that the reps have held Obama hostage to the George bush's policy of not be fair in the tax structure, and the many loopholes for the already very wealthy. Two wars George didn't pay for and he wishes they could be forgotten. I don't begrudge anyone's wealth , but when it is obtained frauduently and at the expense of other citizens daily bread, particularly innocent children, and our disabled veterans, who gave so much for the freedoms for this country, and the elderly who's women took their place and worked the factories so they could go to war , fraudulent practices, cheating, stealing and so many other ways to contrive to make an obscene amount ,of money something is very definately unbalanced. Whether you like it or not "We are our Brother's Keeper"
Innocent children don't need much food
LOL..Ladies and gentlemen, there's your average run of the mill teabagger voter..And they want us to trust them with the future of our country... Imbeciles
Here's a typical Occupy leftist voter... voting twice for the same idiot but expecting different results, aka 'insanity'.
Right except here is the real insanity 34 years of voting for trickle down bull @!$%# and after 3 stock market crashes and borrow and spend deficits you want to go back to the same policies that failed every time they were used expecting them to succeed this time, that is stupidity on a whole new level.
Don't you remember REAGAN? He inherited a worse economy & far worse policies from the peanut farmer.
REAGAN DID NOT KEEP BLAMING KKarter. He FIXED it in less than 3 yrs.
Two wars that SAVED AMERICA.
All OBIGOT'S money went into the TOILET for FAILURES & his NARCISSISM.
Reaganomics created this mess, don't kid yourself. Prior to President Reagan the average Americans Debt consisted of a mortgage, car note and maybe student loans. Then Reagan just like Bush Jr after the 9/11 recession asked us to spend our way out of it and if we don't have the money use credit (Reagan) or refinance you're home and treat it like an ATM (Bush)... 2008 was a credit crisis similar to 1929, the recession Reagan inherited was completely different. The irony of 2008 is that leading up to it banks were creating the money they were loaning out of thin air. So (1) it was caused by money that didn't actually exist under the promise that it will when fully repaid and (2) considering that this is the way Banks create the majority of the wealth in this country its kind of absurd that people like Ron Bots complain that the government prints to much money. Size of US Economy $15 trillion, Cash in circulation $1.1 trillion, cash in fed reserve notes $1 trillion... So who is the actual problem?
Reagan blamed Carter, main stream media and liberals for 8 years while he ripped the guts out of the US economy. In 1979 the US went from the #1 lender of the world by 1988 the US was the 1# borrower of the world. That tea bagging republicans think that is a success shows how delusional they are. In fact it was under Reagan that the stock market crashed for the first time since 1929, yeah the real Reagan legacy.
Ronnie had an 10.8% unemployment rate. He raised taxes 11 times. We were in a mild recession when he left office.
Oh and btw the "peanut farmer" in just 4 years created over 10 million jobs, Reagan in 8 created 17 million. That is not bad by any stretch.
Doom and gloom is the only way Republicans win elections, they have no record to run on... "National defense" outside of minor conflicts and the civil war (Lincoln by today's standard would be a liberal btw) the right hasn't done anything other than talk big... WW1 Liberal/Progressive President, WW2 Liberal/Progressive President's and just last year a Liberal/Progressive President got Osama and Gaddafi, something Reagan after the Pan Am bombing and Bush after 9/11 couldn't do.
Economics, lets see crash 1929 (republicans), Crash 2008 (republicans) oh and before I forget, as Whomitmay stated a crash under Reagan the first since 1929 and lets not forget all of the banking scandals. The facts are that since 1929 for every job created under a Republican administration 2 have been created under a democrat. Even Carter, who the right likes to refer to as the worst president in American history... (Hard to imagine with Hoover and Bush on the list) was on pace to create the same if not more than Reagan.
More lies from the left. Reagan had a 'spike' of 10.8%in 1983, but dropped to 7.1% in 1980 to 5.5% in 1988. Guess what? The average unemployment rate under Reagan was a lot less than what we have now under Obama, which exceeds 8%. HAHAHA! Job growth under the Reagan administration was an average of 2.1% per year, with unemployment averaging 7.5%. You suckers love to take history out of context and only tell 1/2 the truth to make your Democrats look better when in fact, they have a record of failure in America.... time and time again. Obama is Carter on steriods.
They dropped to 7.4 in 1988 almost equal to where they were when Reagan took office. Stop lying you are not even close to being in reality. Oh yeah don't forget Reagans 1 trillion dollar deficit that he left behind as well.
Wrong, young whomitmay, unemployment was 5.2 % when Reagan left office.
Wrong they were at 7.4 later they were dropped to 5.2 when the GOP figured out a new way to exclude unemploed workers, All smoke and mirrors, the GOP 34 years of blowing smoke up the dim witted peoples asses.
You complain about Reagans' $1 Trillion deficit, but have no problem with the $5 Trillion that Obama added to our debt. Hilarious!!!! They complain about unemployment under Reagan when it was 7.4% and 5.2% - two numbers the Obama administration has FAILED to achieve so far. LOL!! 8.2%!...the actual rate is 14.8% but they ignore the under-employed or ones that have given up looking for a job.
namvet,
thank you for your service to our country.
reagan DID NOT inherit a worse economy than the one President Obama inherited.
and reagan blamed Carter for 8 years.
you think democrats are the only ones who blame their predecessor?
SHULTZ is the MOST DISGUSTING HATEFUL FOUL MOUTHED VILE AMERICA HATING RACIST & TRAITOR in NEWS.
I do NOT see why the FCC allows him to stay on the air saying some of the VILE things he says.
Ed is filling a niche in the cable TV market. It's called the lowest common denominator of citizen, which are the most uneducated, misinformed and vile of American that society have turned their backs on because they're leeches that provide little value to society. Look below for a great example!
can't wait that is such a nice fairy tale. Meaningless but then most of your posts are.
He's on cable.. that is not supervised by the FCC
Really, What about the other one who has just cost some media people millions of dollars for his FOUL mouth. That's the one who needs to be removed.
God bless Rush Limbaugh, Hannity, Beck and the others that tell the truth and counter the liberal bias in the lame stream media.
Ronnie had an 10.8% unemployment rate. He raised taxes 11 times. We were in a mild recession when he left office.
Who told you that???? the ed show....
Reagan did not raise taxes 11 times, and his umemployment rate for his 8 years in office is around 4.8-5%..
Here are the records on job creation totals per President by the WSJ not exactly a liberal media outlet.
Source's people, quit throwing numbers out with nothing to back them.
Dang link won't post!!! Google "Bush worst job creator" and you'll find a list of all the jobs created per President Truman - Bush Jr.
Barney Frank turns his back(side) to lots of guys
LOL
Penis envy I see.
And that has what to do with the topic? What a bunch of disrespectful, anti- American righties.
What? You don't have one? That explains everything now. Thanks for admitting your envy, it's your first step to a mental cure. Interesting to know you check for such things....wave your rainbow flag.
Funny how it is you homophobes are the ones tea bagging.
People keep forgetting that ED was a far right republican for a long time. He tried hard to make it big time but could not because Rush was in his way. So what did he do...he switch to being a DEMO just so he could make it big time on the radio and become part of the 1%. Too funny...I wish I had some audio of ED on the radio as a REP. You would laugh today....Hypocrite
Ed is really chubby. As a good liberal, shouldn't he give some of his food away to skinny people ?
Ed cant drink LARGE sodas in NY anymore....he be fine.
Your just mad because Ed stopped drinking the GOP koolaid and realized that the GOP were anti American.
Still can't come to terms about you liar in chief robme getting his ass handed to him so you revert to adolescent statements huh? You people are pathetic...lol
Totally wrong. He changes parties when he got remarried.
He changed parties when he realized he could make money off the simpletons on the left that would believe anything and could easily be manipulated by his propaganda.
Ed is no Rush; His job is much tougher, because logice and truth does not support any liberal credos. I have to give Ed crdit though, he has nothing to work with, and he does a hell of a jog stiring manure night after night !
Right Ed has never been busted for having illegal prescription drugs coming back from a child prostitution country. why to go OxyRush.
Rush never beat his wife like Ed did. More of that leftist "war on women" I guess. Big Ed beat and physically abused his first wife, Maureen. I'll take the guy that takes some medication vs. a wife beater.
Serious question -- do you think Barney Frank wears kneepads under his pants when he is conducting official business ?
Fox news called, they want their idiot back
steve
And you call yourself human? In all my life, I've never heard the amount of disrespect you clowns have shown.
So what were you doing at Fox News, spying for MSDNC? Go back home to your village they need you. lol
Why don't you follow your own advise can't wait.
Do Not exploit the poor because they are poor, and do not crush the needy in court, For the Lord will take up their case, and will plunder those who plunder them. Proverbs.
I would like every Senator and Representitive to be honest about their dealings, since I have read so many times about "the Religious Right". Actions speak louder than words, and no matter what, there will be an accounting. "If my people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves will prat and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from Heaven, and forgive their sinaand I will Heal Their Land. This is what America needs. 2 Ch. 7:14
Very sorry, The word is PRAY
Romney still beating his drum as job creator. He closed more places and pocketed the money, and he never looked back. Ask the people who lost there jobs when Romney was Bain Capitol what a great job creator he was? Romney is all about money and will do everything for the wealthy and throw the middle class under the bus. Do not let what they say drown out the fact they will slash all programs, dismantle education and double down on there restructuring of America. It is not the election that is the prise but the end game . If you are not in the 1% you have allot to loose.
On a brighter note the push back against ALEC is building momentum. Wall Mart dropped them and the list is growing. People standing up and speaking out and signing petitions can make a difference.
More bad news for the Obama administration and our economy.... umemployment rose to 8.2% again. WHERE ARE THE JOBS DEMOCRATS! 65,000 job created.... Pathetic policies strangling our small businesses and corporations. Actually the under-employed is 14.8% - the REAL unemployment rate.
"Reagan blamed Carter, main stream media and liberals for 8 years while he ripped the guts out of"
Wrong young liberal; Reagan fixed the economy and the unemployment rate was 4.7 % when he left office. Reagan never blamed anyone. Obama however, blames Bush constantly while his policies, the direct opposite of Reagan's destroy the country.
Thanks Barry
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The U.S. economy suddenly looks a lot weaker.
U.S. employers created only 69,000 jobs in May, the fewest in a year, and the unemployment rate ticked up.
The dismal jobs data will fan fears that the economy is sputtering. It could also damage President Barack Obama's re-election prospects. And it could lead the Federal Reserve to take further steps to help the economy.
The Labor Department also said Friday that the economy created far fewer jobs in the previous two months than first thought. It revised those figures down to show 49,000 fewer jobs created. The unemployment rate rose to 8.2 percent from 8.1 percent in April, the first increase in 11 months.
Only in fairy tale land jerry. Still can't compare to GWB's 700,000 job loss a month record.
Show us where you get that statistic. Provide us a government web link. You can't. It's all Democrat smoke and mirrors like when they talk about the "number of jobs saved" nonsense. Goofy leftists.
Hi - I really want Ed to make note on tonight's show that today marks the 3rd anniversary of General Motors declaring bankruptcy. With today's unemployment numbers a bit disappointing, and with tonight's show talking about private-sector job growth - it is really worth noting this anniversary. Thank you President Obama and Shame On You Would-Be-President Romney!
do not think it is a good thing to mark the anniversary of a lot people that lost there jobs as a result of the dealerships that were closed because of the manner in which the GM case was handled- but because it was a Democrat that caused the loss of those jobs- then President Obama gets a pass- yet Mitt R (and I am no fan of Mitt R) gets killed when a Bain invested company closes its doors and jobs are lost- so in both GM and in Bain deals jobs were lost- but that gets ignored-
What a laugh...Bill Clinton just stuck it to Obama in Wisconsin when he said that Mitt Romney has a "sterling" business record and that coupled with being an ex-Governor are great credentials to be President. Couldn't get better than that. Guess Bill is getting even with Obama for calling him a racist during Hillary's campaign. Why isn't Obama supporting you guys in Wisconsin....he flew right over your state today and was in MN and ILL. How much closer could he have gotten. He is distancing himself from all of you...he didn't want you to do a recall in the first place. Retribution time!!
