I lifted this from the CBO:

CBO estimates that in the third quarter of calendar year 2009, an additional 600,000 to 1.6 million people were employed in the United States, and real (inflation-adjusted) gross domestic product (GDP) was 1.2 percent to 3.2 percent higher, than would have been the case in the absence of ARRA.

What road re: Bush and Obama do you mean?

You mentioned Obama should have invested more political capital in jobs. What did you mean? In what way?
