Recently we have seen more positive numbers showing that the U.S. economy created nearly a quarter of a million jobs last month alone for a total of 1 million jobs created in the last three months and about 1.5 million jobs in the past nine months."

In my opinion, attempting to count the number of jobs "saved" - regardless of which administration attempts to do it - is a pretty pointless and impossible task.

What do ya expect from a cowgirl?
