1.9 million

From the Washington Post:

Private employers added 220,00 jobs, moving the total of private-sector jobs created in 2011 to 1.9 million [my emphasis].

From the Bureau of Labor Statistics:

1.1 million: The number of jobs gained under President George W. Bush.

That would be *eight years* of George W. Bush.

I’m all for a good Bush bash but 1) presidents don’t have nearly the influence on jobs that they are credited with/blamed for having and 2) most reliable accounts put job losses for 2008-2010 at 5-7 million, so even if you want to size up Bush and Obama the latter doesn’t look so great.
