http://factcheck.org/2012/01/newts-f...d-stamp-claim/ |
14.8 million under Bush OVER AN 8 YEAR PERIOD 1.8 million/year
14.2 million under Obama OVER A 3 YEAR PERIOD 4.7 million/year
And should Obama get elected he's on pace for 37.6 million over 8 years exceeding Bush by 22.6 million. Fact Check needs to be fact checked on this one.
