Ok, the conservatives are going to cry foul.
The job reports are out and now we're seeing a modest improvement. The Labor Department has reported that 96,000 jobs were created in the month of August dropping the job rate to 8.1%
Not bad. Not bad at all.
Conservatives will think the books are being cooked to help President Barack Obama win reelection. The progressives will say that jobs are here and the president is delivering. The only thing standing in their way is Republican obstruction.
Republicans and Democrats will debate over the remaining term trying to pass an extension of the national debt, another jobs bill and making tougher decisions to keep the economy rolling.
Now as for the Drudge Report's siren, it's a trademark of a juicy story sponsored by the conservative agitator. He rang the alarm signaling the conservatives that there's something big or something deceptive about this one!
President Barack Obama is an embattled president. He just finished his acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention. He acknowledged that the path to the future isn't solved in four years.
Mitt Romney is the weakest nominee for president.The Republican has crafted himself as a successful business executive (not a former governor and perennial candidate for higher office). He leads in the national polls as the best one to handle the economy. But his poll numbers are sliding downward.
He maintain his stance as a effective problem solver and yet he hasn't put forth policies that could match or better the embattled president. He has been practicing for the national debates where he could use a backdrop of failed policies or controversies such as the job report to hammer the president.
Congress is at is worst. The Republican-led House of Representatives hasn't achieved much of their goals. They've pass the infamous Paul Ryan Austerity Bill only to be stopped by the Democratic-led Senate. The President's job package is passed by the Senate but halted by the House. Congressman Paul Ryan (R-Wisconsin) is the vice presidential nominee of the Mitt Romney ticket. He's a longtime fixture in Washington, DC. He hasn't really produced much until his rise in late 2010.
Congress job approval is at a record low of 10% according to Gallup.
President Barack Obama is right now feeling a convention bounce which could tip him over the watermark of over 50% in the coming days. But it will decrease very soon. The issues of high gasoline prices, still unemployment is over 8%, the debt is over $16 trillion and the war in Afghanistan are dragging him and Congress down.
Mitt Romney wanted to be a Washington insider for most of his political life. He's failed. His only bright side to the issues that the world is facing, is the fact that Romney is a new face to Washington.
Even though he's long been out of office, Romney thinks he could be the best one!
President Barack Obama urges patience. The country is on the right path. The constant obstruction from his political rivals stalled progress and the American public should know this.
If it wasn't for the third rail, I guess he would be more effective.
Update: Republican nominee Mitt Romney stated that the unemployment drop in simple fashion. 'If Last Night Was The Party, This Morning Is The Hangover'.
The White House released a statement saying that there's sign of modest growth in our economy.
