The Romney ad claims that as governor, “Romney had the best jobs record in a decade.” Yes — Massachusetts added more net jobs during Romney’s four years in office than during the four-year period of either his predecessor or successor. But — that ignores the national recessions before and after Romney’s time in office. If you look at how Massachusetts stacked up on job creation compared with other states, Romney actually fared worse than his predecessor and successor.
The ad claims Romney “reduced unemployment to just 4.7 percent.” Yes — Massachusetts’ unemployment rate went from 5.6 percent to 4.6 percent under Romney. But — the state’s unemployment rate was slightly lower than the national rate when he took office, and was roughly the same as the national rate when he left office.
The ad claims Romney “balanced every budget without raising taxes.” Yes — Romney never raised personal income taxes. But —in order to balance the budget, Romney increased government fees by hundreds of millions of dollars.

Wildcat-Vector-WideMiddle-4_Real, since when has Obama ever balanced a budget? Also, how about his unemployment record? One cannot deny the fact that there have been more unemployment claims than jobs created during Obama's term.
