WATCH THE VIDEO! It is a short and GREAT example of how politicians can slant numbers to make themselves look good.

Both parties do it, but this was a pretty egregious example of picking a 27 month window and narrowly defining private sector to make yourself look good versus other administrations.

You know the old saying: "There are 3 kinds of lies: Lies, Damned Lies, and Statistics".
