This report will certainly give the GOP contenders more creative challenges to distort the truth.

The Dow isn't buying it, down for the morning, we'll see if it has any legs. Last month the rate went down, etc and it barely rippled the headlines.
I'm for any improvement, but if people think it will help Obama get re-elected, there's a bridge in Brooklyn for sale also.
It comes down the facts, however you want to interpret them, will probalby dictate your vote come November.
Does anyone know anybody that will vote for Obama, that didn't voe for him in 2008? My point is, are there any people flocking to Camp Obama?
Didn't think so, now pay attention here....Are there any people fleeing camp Obama?
Helo? Hello? -

Uh hello. Cons will vote con and dems will vote dem. It's the middle that is the grey area and I think they will most likely vote incumbent over switching horses in the middle of the stream especially when the other horse is Mitt or ANY one of the other republican gasbags. -

To whom, exactly...??
Last I checked, the same polls showed Obama beating any current candidate one-on-one (as opposed to "generic republican candidate") or well within the margin of error.
Participation and enthusiasm will be the keys, IMO.... -

I agree matty, Obama garnered a high percentage of 1st time voters and voter blocks that usually have low turnout (the 18-30 yr olds and black voters). It will be a hard for him to re-generate the kind of rockstar following he did in 08 and without I think the republicans base is definitely larger and the independent will split pretty close. IMO -

How's unemployment in China?
If it's good then maybe Chairman Barrak is correct. -

In Response to Re: 200k jobs unemployment down to 8.5!! woo hoo!!:In Response to Re: 200k jobs unemployment down to 8.5!! woo hoo!! : Florida, Ohio, New Jersey, New Hampshire, Wisconsin, Nevada, Virginia, Michigan, North Carolina, are all states that went to Obama in 2008. He`s 6-20 points down to "Any Republican" in all of them.
Posted by jmel
Repeat: "any republican" is not the same stat as vs. a specific candidate. On those counts, he mostly prevails.
Repeat #2: "participation", "enthusiasm". If the gop keeps their enthusiasm high and the dems' low, they'll probably win. -
