"But the labor market has been especially lagging lately -- the economy exited a recession in November 2001, according to the National Bureau of Economic Research, but the labor market still hasn't recovered. "

OPEN ASSIGNMENT
MISSION TO SAVE AMERICAN JOBS

President Bush:

Mr. President your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to recover the 3+ million jobs lost on your watch. You are to find where they went, recover them, and prevent this from happening again.

You have until November 2004 to complete this mission.

If you choose not to accept this mission, or are incapable of performing, don't run in the GOP Primary so another Republican can accept this important mission for America.

PS Ronald Reagan was the last Republican to understand. Ross Perot sent a warning to your Dad but since then all we hear is the mantra, 'Perot gave us Clinton'. Actually your Dad gave us Perot.

Well that certainly hit the forum like a thud. Not that a thud isn't necessary once in a while. LOL Stand back...

CNN dusts off the Democrat 1984 and 1992 playbooks and springs into action. Now all we need are some Springsteen and Billy Joel tunes.

This is the unfortunate result of public corporations trying to please "the street".

It would be my contention that most of these cuts are temporary as they await increased consumer spending. August is a bad time.

Perot spent millions of his money trying to stop NAFTA.The major networks would not sell him time. The great sucking sound. It sucks alright.May as well let the illegals have what is left.Ever get the feeling that the US is going to be in big trouble soon? I do.Illegals are bleeding us dry and the governments response is to give them more. What is happening in California is were the country is headed. Limp wristed creeps like Davis and Gore are determined to destroy this country.Tech jobs that were invented here are now being outsourced. Manufacturing jobs are being lost by the thousands.And what does the government do? Tax the people who still have a job to give it to illegals and corporations to help them move work oversees.

I thought we were told the recession ended 6 months ago?

This is very bad news for bush, and his diminishing chances to get re-elected in 2004. (He doesnt have many months left to get all those jobs back, and all those factories that closed and moved to china and mexicobefore the primaries)

How completely accurate.

There was obviously a market for a candidate like Perot, he merely ran and filled it.

GHWB has no one to blame but GHWB for the votes Perot earned in the election.

Yeah - but we MUST vote on things that matter - GAY RIGHTS !
WACKING THE WOGS !

Apparently the continuing job losses are fueling the economic recovery.

I agree. I am as conservative as they come. Jesse Helms is my hero. Shook his hand more times than I can count, in church.

But I will not vote for this president come hell or high water in 2004. With no money to stimluate jobs but $15 billion to ship off to Africa to 'fight aids', he:

a) is just another tax and spend politician.
b) ignores his base and this horrible economy at his own peril.

Ping for the awakening! :)

Totally worth repeating:
