As jobs picture improves, so do Obama reelection chances
The Hill ^ | 8/4/12 | Amie Parnes

Posted on 08/04/2012 1:07:47 PM PDT by ColdOne

President Obama’s reelection got a boost Friday from the best monthly jobs report on the U.S. economy since February, something that gave his campaign team more fuel in making their argument that the economy is making steady progress.

While the good news was coupled with an uptick in the unemployment rate to 8.3 percent, analysts predicted that if the job numbers—however murky—are maintained over the next several months, Obama is likely to win reelection in November against his opponent Mitt Romney.

Well, I guess they have to celebrate bad news since ALL THERE IS IS BAD NEWS!!

If this BS works then we are already lost as a free nation via the lowest collective national I.Q. worldwide.

What is america smoking?...

The President WANTS the price of gasoline to GO UP... he wants it...
He brags that all energy will go up.. ON PURPOSE...
PLUS more energy TAXES..

Coal, gasoline, diesel, natural gas, electricity..
When energy goes up literally all other prices do too...

WHO knocked America in the head?...
Barry Half-White should be laughed off any stage he gets on... and tomato’s thrown at him..

If the job picture is improving it’s because of the antisipation of a new president.

It’s the Hill. Some reason, some Freepers think it is a real newspaper.

Soon we’ll be down to eighteen jubs left in the country with none of the 150,000,000 idle adults looking. Eureka! Full employment!

In order for people to believe the job market is improving they actually have to get a job! Can’t B.S. with that!

Same pattern every month - marginally improved economic numbers spun as political good news for Obama, quietly followed by downward revision two weeks later. And the economy continues to languish.

Yawn.

Sounds logical to me.Osama’s aim from the start has been to bring this nation to its knees,economically and in every other way as well.So he obviously sees the unemployment rate's having gone up to 8.3 as being an improvement.The question is...will the electorate agree with him.

Don’t be fooled by the G3 figures. Look at the G6.

The ‘jobs’ numbers are the very easiest to manipulate.

Obama has been lying about these numbers since he was inaugurated.

President Obama’s reelection got a boost Friday from the best monthly jobs report on the U.S. economy since February

That includes those 429,000 inmaginary phantom jobs added by the Obama bureaucrats so far this year.
They might look good on paper but it's hard to buy groceries with the inmaginary phantom earnings.

I read the headline, and I had smoke coming out my ears, you know, it’s true, the Democrats are following the rules of Saul Alinsky, if you tell a lie long enough and you believe it as truth, people will start to believe it too! I am convinced that when Isa says in 5:20 KJV, “Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!”, He was really describing the Democrat’s platform, they embrace all that is vile!

Amie Parles is really a desperately deluded woman to see a pony in all this economic manure.

The only thing this president has done: doubled the number of people of people claiming disability, doubled those who dropped out of the official labor force and have stopped looking for work, and tripled our deficit. Good work, President Urkel.
