I predict that all the public is going to remember about the data released today is that the unemployment rate WENT UP!

The media can try to spin this any way they want, but people are just going to notice that the overall is higher, and is going in the wrong direction.

This is definitely not helpful to Obama—no matter what the MSM says.

The 8 percent figure has become a political football--Obama had said that unemployment would drop below 8 in order to get his stimulus bill passed.

That is a straight up lie. What the President said was that if stimulus passed unemployment would never go above 8%. His other prediction was 5.6 % unemployment by now.
