Obama: Today’s Jobs Report Proves ObamaCare Works, ‘Check the Statistics’

"This morning, we learned that our economy created 223,000 new jobs last month. (Applause) The unemployment rate ticked down again to 5.4 percent -- which is the lowest it’s been in almost seven years. (Applause) That’s 3 million new jobs over the past 12 months -- nearly the fastest pace in over a decade. And all told, over the past 62 months in a row, America’s businesses have created 12.3 million new jobs. 

I should add, by the way, 62 months ago is when I signed the Affordable Care Act. So, obviously, it hasn’t done too bad in terms of employment in this country. (Applause) I just thought I’d mention that. (Applause) Since there were a lot of predictions of doom and gloom, I would just suggest those who were making those predictions go back and check the statistics. (Laughter) Just saying." (Laughter)
