CNNFN actually has a positive headline:

Unemployment rate drops
Job growth rebounded in month of August as nation's unemployment rate dipped to 5.4 percent.
September 3, 2004: 9:31 AM EDT
NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - Job growth rebounded in August and the unemployment rate dropped unexpectedly, the government reported Friday.
Isn't 5.4 lower then Clinton's numbers?
So It broke the number 100K, which will be interpreted as a good news. Well, things do not look good for Dems.
don't forget this is the jobs report that is affected by the Florida huricanne.
Of course if those protesters at New York would go get a job everything would be fine
How do you miss 36,000 jobs?
If I remember right New Mexico accidently counted all the teachers on summer vacation as "unemployed" which greatly increased their numbers last week

You are SO wrong.
He also inherited the markets' reaction to Gore trying to sue his way into the White House, SARS, the Malvo sniper attacks, the anthrax attacks, the collapse of the dot-com bubble, a world-wide economic slowdown (see France & Germany), big league financial scandals at Enron, Arthur
Anderson, Tyco, Global Crossing (to name a few), and had
to face the headwinds of mid-$40's per barrel oil and a
concerted effort by major US-based companies to send
large numbers of jobs to third-world countries.
[Paul Krugman should be forced to watch endless re-runs of
Kewwy campaign speeches, similar to the main character in
_A Clockwork Orange_]
Did you know too that Daddy Bush helped W to avoid Viet Nam service??

Your tagline said:
"John sez: NO BLOOD FOR PURPLE HEARTS"
OK, OK, so make them lavender, with Fig Leaf Cluster.
"I'm John Kewwy, and I appwooved this medal"
New, GI Kewwy, with flip-flop action.
so this may have a big effect next time since the effect of two hurricanes may be factored in
"Just hope they don't come back with
Unemployment rate January 2001 - 4.20%
Current Unemplyment Rate - 5.40%"

That is SO Sept. 10th.
See my earlier post.
BTW, why don't you make a month-by-month chart of the
# of employed in the US, and a month-by-month chart
of the unemployment rate in the US.
From (say) 6 months before Bush's first term ;-)
until today.
Put in arrows on 9-11 and at the passage of the Bush
tax cuts.
For extra credit, put in arrows at each movement in
the Federal Reserve Overnight Funds rate :-)
