Santorum: Improving jobs outlook due to ‘optimism’ for Obama defeat

GOP hopeful Rick Santorum found a way on Friday to give Republicans credit for the lowest unemployment rate in three years.

Speaking to a crowd at a town hall event in Keene, New Hampshire, the Republican presidential candidate said that the economy added 200,000 nonfarm jobs last month because people were hopeful President Barack Obama was not going to be re-elected in 2012.

“I’m very gratified to see that in spite of President Obama’s policies, the job market is beginning to pick up a little bit,” the candidate opined.

“I think there might just be some optimism that maybe Republicans are going to take the White House,” Santorum added with a smile. “Maybe that’s spurring people to start taking some risks. I’ll take that as a reason.”

8. Frothy McBlah seems to be getting stupider by the hour

He does well in Iowa, and then he really turns up the "charm" a few notches. Frothy's supporters, of course, will be swallowing it hook, line and sinker. I don't think anyone sane will, though.

10. It amazes me...

...that people like this who call themselves devout Christians can lie so easily and so frequently and no one calls them on it.

***Correction - It doesn't really amaze me at all.
