Mitt Romney is running on his record as a really rich guy who created lots and lots and lots of jobs. How many? That depends on when you ask, but for the sake of sanity let's just say he claims lots.

Watch Hanauer's remarks in the clip above and catch the Amazon co-founder tonight in a Last Word exclusive.
