A new ‘magic number’: under 9%

Come whatever may, Team Obama will get to ‘perceived’ 8% or less unemployment by November 2012.

If they can keep ‘perceived’ inflation in check, Team Obama will be difficult to beat.

Incumbency is difficult to win against. The GOP needs a strong candidate, and their top tier of wannabes are not ‘them’.

Yeah, the spin on the radio this morning was:

The Number is lower because more people are discouraged, and less are looking for work. But, since the number is lower, this is a good thing."

My head nearly exploded.

The GOP needs a strong candidate,...

Donald Rumsfeld would be my favorite...

Both the civilian labor force participation rate, at 64.2 percent, and the employment-population ratio, at 58.4 percent, were unchanged in February

These are the most telling statistics in the report. They indicate that we are running just to standstill. We are not keeping up with population growth.

Employment-Population Ratio

Nailed it!

Americans know better; anyone I know who lost a job in the last 2-3 years is either still out of work or working for much less money. If they tell us unemployment is .1% and the average American earns $500K annually by November 2012, I still see the Kenyan Pirate losing all 50 states. Americans can either believe the Dem media or their own “lying eyes”. The emperor has no clothes, and everyone knows it.

I have said before, and I stand by it: Obama will not be the Dem candidate in 2012.
