New DNC talking point - "How can we gloat about our material prosperity when Iraqi criminals are being forced to wear panties on their heads!?"

That picture of Daschle is often posted when there is good news. I'm sure I'm not the first to note this, but maybe it's worth re-noting.
The American flag in back of him. Someone dared let it touch the floor. This is puddled there at the base. This . . . is an outrage.

But, Laz! These job numbers just can't be true! Aren't we told that there are no jobs by our own economic experts here on this site?
THREE the hard way.

What a coincidence that every time the unemployment/employment/GDP numbers are released, some big news item pushes them to the back page.Very true. Last month, it was 'Abu Ghraib. The month before was the Martha Stewart verdict. The month before that it was the Tyco verdict, etc....
To: Allegra
Oh, he will. It's too early yet. He's very clever and he knows that timing is everything. Give it another six weeks or so and he'll start slipping it in there.
Don't know if I agree. A large number of people polled something like 1/3, think we are in a RECESSION. They have been endlessly bombarded with negative news ( or shall we say "Pravda") about the economy. It's going to take a while to reverse that. The Rats and the press are masters at this. I remember when Bush 1 lost, the DAY AFTER the election the press made the first mention that the resession had ended in MAY. And Clinton got all the credit for the recovery. Goebbels would be proud.

That's right -- there are no jobs here in America! This is a jobless economy; all jobs went to Halliburton in Iraq ;-)

I wonder if Jesse Jackson will cancel his bus trip. LOL!

Manufacturing hours worked rose to 41.1 suggesting a need for plants to hire more workers fast. This is indeed good news.

Well the "negative spin" will be that the stupid Fed will immediately see "inflation" and will start raising interest rates.

The markets will be down today because these will be "disappointing numbers". Baloney. Stock market will like it because it is in line with expectations and not a blowout number at twice expectations.

btw, at this rate of job creation, by November Kerry will no longer be able to claim (as he has falsely) that there had been net job losses on Bush's watch.
To: JohnHuang2
I'm betting a month of unemployment benefits that the opening of *ssface Moore's film will preceed the news of employment gains.
To: Tennessean4Bush
Robert Reich is spewing his anti-Bush crap now on CNBC. Job growth going in right direction but--not good quality jobs,people losing health care, deficit out of control...

These are all great comments to good news, but you know the dems will spin it differently.

If Kerry would say something like..."This is great news for the American people. I am impressed with this sustained economic growth...congratulations American."....I would be flabbergasted.

A large number of people polled something like 1/3, think we are in a RECESSION. Yeah, but they probably all watch Survivor and Jerry Springer and stuff.
All kidding aside, I'm not sure about percpetions right now because I haven't been in the U.S. all year and haven't been exposed to much media, but I think with the public's notorious short attention span, Dubya's waiting a little bit to hype this (especially if the figures keep improving) will put it fresh in peoples' minds as they are heading to the polls. Plus, if they have jobs and money by then when they've been unemployed recently (I was one of those people last year; it's horrible), that's going to put a positive impact on their voting choices.
I could be wrong. I am about twice a year. :-)
