Job report creates hurdle for Bush
"In a report seen as a political blow to President Bush, the Labor Department said Friday the economy added just 96,000 jobs last month, far fewer than projected. The final monthly employment report before the Nov. 2 presidential election fell short of estimates it would show about 158,000 new jobs, although the unemployment rate remained unchanged at 5.4 percent, as expected.
The report kept alive one of the principal economic complaints of Democratic Sen. John Kerry in his campaign to unseat the incumbent Republican. Even after accounting for an announced upward revision, the economy has shed more than 600,000 jobs since Bush took office, making it likely he will be the first president since Hoover to preside over a four-year term of net job losses.
The spin machines of both campaigns quickly went into high gear.
The Kerry campaign issued a nine-page paper comparing Bush’s record on jobs with previous recoveries and with the administration’s own projections.
“Even over this last year, our economy has failed to create even enough jobs to cover new workers coming into the job market, not to speak of the millions who are unemployed, working in part-time or temporary jobs or who have given up and dropped out,” Kerry said in a statement issued by his campaign."
...
Kerry knows about economy. He even knows the unemployment rate doesn't take into account those that have given up on looking for jobs and those with underemployed! Bush is not good with economy. He is not good with diplomacy. He makes a big mess. He can barely talk, for pete sake! :D
Ohhhhhh well. Just my two cents on the subject. More two cents, that is :D
