Whatever bandaid they design will still have to be passed by Congress, right? So when does Nancy's House of the Rising Sun reconvene?

“The White House is bracing for a new jobs report Friday that is expected to show paltry hiring by the private sector.”

If the unemployed actually leaned on that perpetually bracing WH it would fall down. ;-)

Carter was a feckless pencil-neck but Obama’s sustained fetal-position cowering is absolutely revolting.

NEW YORK, Sept 2 (Reuters) -

U.S. crude oil futures prices slipped on Thursday, weighed by concerns about a slowing economic recovery and high oil inventories in a cautious market ahead of Friday's key August nonfarm payrolls report from the United States.

Thursday's dip followed a 2.77 percent price jump on Wednesday, fueled by encouraging manufacturing data from China and the United States. Crude futures pared losses initially after a government report that new jobless benefit claims fell from the prior week. Initial jobless claims fell to 472,000 in the week to Aug. 28, the Labor Department said, down from a revised higher 478,000 the previous week.

Oil prices fell despite a weaker dollar, which is usually supportive to crude prices, and also higher equities markets and several tropical weather systems churning in the Atlantic.

Well the econ stats are pretty much locked in for the Nov election.

Nothing the Baraqqis can do now will influence things much at all.

I just hope Republicans use this gift that has been given them and pound Democrat House and Senate incumbents without mercy.

this is why Hussein is having a fake news conference later. classic totalitarian move—bad news is out? put the fascist leader out in front, make him say everything is fine...it helps dilute the truth.

hussein is following alinsky like a good disciple. and the media plays along like poodles.

looking at measures that could promote growth and hiring in the short term

i.e., through November but then disappear again.

Obama----before the mid-term election, is working on new business tax breaks to provide a jolt to the sluggish economy.

What? Tax breaks for the rich? What happened to them paying their fair share and then spreading the wealth around? And how convenient just before the elections!
