That doesn't seem to match the numbers here:

1) http://www.tradingeconomics.com/united-states/employed-perso...

2) http://www.tradingeconomics.com/united-states/full-time-empl...

3) http://www.tradingeconomics.com/united-states/part-time-empl...

Obama did create jobs (given how many trillions of dollars he spent, one should hope so), but not nearly the amount you're reporting. The only way to get your numbers is to count every job anyone did for even a single day as a newly created job, and totally discount all layoffs.

If I were you I'd look for the government data rather than the media:
