His job-creation record won’t look much better.

Here's where I got my info and it is fact. The Bush Admin oversaw 52 consecutive months of job growth, which is unprecedented. You can put whatever context you want around it to frame it against Clinton/Reagan, but it happened and it was a good thing.

there are many more sources I could cite. Even those who aren't fans of Bush can't argue the facts:

Not a good idea to post from unedited WSJ blogs and say my facts are wrong.
