Taking a look at the very strange math behind Romney's repeated promise to create 12 million new jobs in four years. Short take: none of the info adds up, none of the sources seem to actually be discussing Romney's proposed policies, and none of them are talking about a 4-year timeframe.
But I'll betcha Mitt brings it up, again, at the debate tonight. And continues to in his commercials, too.

Dave, you keep looking for facts, we are in a post truth world, facts no longer matter, all that matters is how we feel and what we want to believe. I mean, facts actually mattered, don’t you think our press would have pointed things like this out and confront him and Ryan everytime they brought this up, or their tax plan?
“The aide said that guys like me were “in what we call the reality-based community,” which he defined as people who “believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality.” … “That’s not the way the world really works anymore,” he continued. “We’re an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you’re studying that reality—judiciously, as you will—we’ll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that’s how things will sort out. We’re history’s actors…and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.” – Attrib Karl Rove.
But … that would be confrontational! And create a perception of partiality! And might ruin future access!
