On the recordJuly 26, 2010
If the gentlelady would yield one second, there is one figure I could put on the record, that is, during the first 18 months of the Obama administration, we have already created more jobs than in the entire 8 years of the Bush administration, 18 months versus 8 years. We're digging ourselves out of that hole, not as fast as we would like in Ohio, but the damage was so great. We're moving in the right direction, and we need to keep your shoulder to the wheel; and I thank the gentlelady for yielding me the additional time.
