Let's take this one and see if it's false. Republicans said Keystone would create 42,000 jobs. That's a massive lie.

BARACK OBAMA
"We’ve got close to 7 million Americans who have access to health care for the first time because of Medicaid expansion."

— PolitiFact National on Tuesday, February 25th, 2014

This was in 2014. In 2015, the Post wrote the following. "Because of the difficulty in determining whether the project would last one or two years, the State Department decided to express all of the jobs as an annual figure. So those 4,000 construction workers in Montana who work for 19 weeks were turned into nearly 1,500 jobs on annual basis. All told, 10,400 construction workers, engaged for four- or eight-month periods, are expressed in the State Department report as 3,900 jobs — one position that is filled one full year — even though none of the jobs actually last a year."

Who was closer? The republicans who said 42,000 or the President who said 3900?
