The U.S. has lost 2.2 million jobs since President Barack Obama took 
office. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the total 
number of jobs nationwide fell from 134.3 million at the end of January to 
132.2 million at the end of May.
The unemployment rate now stands at 9.4 percent, up from 7.6 percent at 
the end of January.

I think my initial measure of success is creating or saving 4 million 
jobs, said President Obama on February 9.

Monthly job losses reported by the BLS are as follows:

Feb:     651,000
Mar:     663,000
Apr:     539,000
May:    345,000
Total: 2,198,000

President Obama demanded that Congress spend hundreds of billions of 
dollars to stimulate the economy, said Grover Norquist, president of 
Americans for Tax Reform. "On Friday, February 13 Congress approved a 
disgraceful trillion-dollar spending and debt package under the guise of 
economic stimulus. Since that date at least 1.5 million jobs have been 
lost in America.

Spend more money. Have fewer jobs, continued Norquist. Let's stop this 
madness.
