RE Now the leftists will try to change the subject to the new “low” unemployment number. Otherwise they would still be stuck.”

Yep, 'That is proof that Obama’s policies are working, moving in the right direction, stay the course, four more years....'

Obama has to be careful about bragging about ANY numbers, because it lobs a big slow softball at Romney in the debates. Romney can convincingly respond that O is ‘out of touch’.

The news and such are a different story.

Obama has to be careful about bragging about ANY numbers, because it lobs a big slow softball at Romney in the debates. Romney can convincingly respond that O is ‘out of touch’.

But when making that point, Romney has to be careful not to get too deep in the economic weeds, lest the public's eyes roll back in their heads. If that happens, Obama could get away with "This proves we are moving in the right direction." Can O play the "hope" card in yet another election?

So far, Romney has not committed the error of talking over the audience's head, despite Obama's taunts ("Why are you keeping your plan secret?". Your suggestion of "out of touch" sounds good for Romney.
