Romney's campaign had the best response to the Labor Dept. figures yesterday, because it came out as a great campaign attack without harping on whether the numbers are accurate or not. In fact, it was an effective response that was applicable even if everyone conceded that the numbers were 100% accurate.
The Romney campaign statement said something like this: "These unemployment figures are completely unacceptable when the country is supposed to be in the midst of a recovery."
That's perfect. Straight and to the point, and dismissive of the numbers without arguing over their accuracy.
How about:
People are starting to hire now that it looks possible this regime is coming to an end.
