Who ever thought the saying, Its the economy stupid, from James Carville in 1992 would become a staple in presidential elections 20 years later?
That expression made its way into the campaign in 2008, and according to Carville, it could be the theme of the 2012 campaign as well as President Barack Obama seeks reelection. In an appearance on Mondays Imus in the Morning on the Fox Business Network, the former Clinton adviser said that, based on the May jobs number, if the unemployment picture doesnt improve, 2012 could be rough for the president.
[L]ook, I dont think anybody if 54,000 new jobs is the new standard, its going to be a very, very rough 2012 for President Obama, Carville said. But the three-month average was 160,000. If that is the case, then he will do OK. I cant tell you what will happen. But yes, if this, if this last jobs number is an indication of future job numbers, its going to be very, very rough.

He’s much better looking than Carville.
This is the equivalent of the Tom Bradley announcement on TV to "TAKE TO THE STREETS TO SHOW YOUR FEELINGS....(lower voice) but keep the peace."
The result: The Rodney King Riots. The gloves are off and I hope other Americans are as ready as the Korean-American shopkeepers of LA are going to be.
I wish he would expand on the civil unrest he expects. Is this riots in support of Obama just prior to the election? Just after incase they lose? Or just general riots because of the lack of jobs during the entire year?
