2 million Americans have lost jobs since Obama took office

You're going to hear a lot of numbers today, which marks Barack Obama's 100th day in office. Most of the spin from the Obama-controlled medial will be positive. The most telling is 2,055,000. That's how many Americans have lost their jobs since Obama took office. Where's the hope? Where's the change? The $1 trillion "stimulus" package that Obama signed will send money to far-left causes, but few working-class Americans will see any benefit. The Obama recession will continue and millions more Americans will lose their jobs.

The Associated Press put together an interesting look at Obama's first 100 days. Here are some of the lowlights of Obama's failed administration:
