ANNAPOLIS, MD (January 18, 2013) – Governor Martin O’Malley today released the following statement on the U.S. Department of Labor’s release of preliminary employment data for the month of December:
“Over the last 12 months, Maryland’s businesses created 30,300 new jobs. Last month alone, Maryland’s private sector created 7,700 jobs - our best December for private sector job growth since 1990. Together, the people of our State have recovered more than 80% of the jobs lost during the Bush recession, and our unemployment rate has been driven to 6.6 percent, 15 percent below the national rate.
“Progress is a choice. Job creation is a choice. That's why this week we submitted a jobs budget that makes the better choices to support over 43,000 jobs for Maryland families in the capital budget alone - a budget that constrains growth below the General Assembly's Spending Affordability Guidelines for the seventh consecutive year while protecting our priorities in education, job creation, innovation and infrastructure that will ensure we remain competitive in the global economy.”

Wasn't a bunch of those jobs seasonal jobs.
There was no recession during the Bush administration. The problems arrived when the Democrats controlled the House and Senate in 2006. That's when the problems began.
11:06 Why did Bush send out stimulus checks? Remember that? It was because of a recession.
I'm feeling it, aren't you? This massive wave of thousands off the unemployment lines...ahh, the ones where the numbers remain unchanged according to the statistics, but who cares about those, anyway?
12:09. Read again the part where he stated correctly that all the problems started in 2006 when the dems came in and took control. Bush should not have caved but he did. Once. The Nobamas came in and gave away trillions. What you liberals refuse to see is that doesn't work and constantly blaming Bush Is only a sign of weakness.
