There is no job crisis. The unemployment rate is 5.6% which is excellent. Just because the democrats SAY there is a jobs crisis doesn't mean there is.

At least that's what the professional liar class is tellin' us. My nose tells me different, though, and my nose don't lie.

Get your head out of the sand!

There are 8.2 million workers looking for work. They have been out of work an average of 20.3 months. Most of these workers are no longer included in the unemployment statistics.

This is a major issue for GWB. His Father lost because he didn't see it as a big issue either. I hope GWB wins, but I concerned he may not realize the magnitude of this problem. I have several friends who have been out of work and do not think highly of this administration.

It is clear that you are not an engineer.

I lean the other way. But if you are right and this is what the president is trying to say he's not doing a very good job of it.

Also if family income is down meaning people are working but not making anywhere near what they once were that doesn't help President Bush.

Covering your eyes and ears and saying it - won't make the issue go away. What is needed is a response that makes sense to the voting public.

Enough of the "outsourcing is good for you in the long run" pablum. The voters are not going to buy it. Today's announcement of a record $43.1billion trade deficit for January is just more fuel for the fire.

Wake up and face the facts - there is a jobless recovery and "job crisis" - NOW.

Exactly right, coffee! Jobs crisis my foot. We, and more importantly GWB and his team, need to get on message and push back any talk from the left and isolationists like Pukeannon of a "jobs crisis" when the unemployment rate is less than 6%.
