Romney Said He Didn't Like The Jobs Numbers

[DemocratSinceBirth]

If I wasn't a God fearing man I would say what I really think about that pusillanimous,platitudinous, and prevaricating plutocrat.

[WI_DEM]

1. Of course he'll say that and he'll say that unemployment rose

and ignore the 171,000 number

[JiminyJominy]

2. Its a

Fridady, people are electioned-out, stormed out, they are not going to watch the news for a few days.

I dont think the jobs report will have any affect on the election.

If it had gone to 8 then it woulda been cause for concern, and if it woulda dropped to 7.5 or something crazy then it woulda sealed the election for O but as it stands...very little affect i think.

3. He also resurrected the stagnation term to define the Obama economy.

Now as I remember stagnation in the 70's, it was to describe a stagnant economy with crazy inflation. This term does not describe the state of the economy at all. And he claims to be the god of economies?

9. He says this isn't what a recovery looks like...

but the only comparison to Bush's economic mess is the great depression and that took over a decade to recover from that. Call out Romney for being clueless as to how badly his party messed up our country. If he doesn't even know how bad it was, then he isn't capable of fixing it.

4. We need our people on tv from the get-go today setting the record on this.

All i've seen so far is repubs talking down about it and pundits being wishy-washy.

5. Romney is a TOTAL IDIOT!!!!! if he was President with 171,000 jobs he would be celebrating

[LisaL]

6. Well of course he doesn't.

Since they are good for Obama.

[Lord_Maculus]

7. DUH!

Of course Coreless Mitt hates it. It's something positive that will actually help us poor, pathetic peons, and it will not help his & Annie's chances of becoming King & Queen of America.

[sadbear]

8. As long as Democrats can get out in front and frame this correctly

then it'd definitely a win for President Obama. Even Yahoo says the unemployment number went up because more people stopped giving up and are now looking for work again. That's hope!

[nc4bo]

10. Well - he did help ship a ton of them offshore perhaps he was looking at the figures from

another point of view.

[spiderpig]

11. Mitt RMoney is a horrible human being.

I'd say he wasn't a true human being, but I doubt any other species would want to claim him.

[RomneyLies]

12. He NEEDED the economy to fail

Whoever wins this election will take the credit for all the hard work Obama put in over the past four years.

[TexasCPA]

13. Of course he hates it

He doesn't care about the good news of an additional 250k people (including revisions) finding jobs.

Also, I am sick of the Republicans using January 2009 as their measurement. The 800k job losses per month were carryover from Bush destroying the economy. A more accurate starting point should be the 10% rate in around October 2009. People forget how dire things were in 2008. It was so dire that the USA elected a black man as President.

14. So what's he gonna do about it?

Hire a couple of workers?

[rock]

15. No, he's gonna fire a couple of thousand

[Grammy23]

16. No matter what the Jobs Numbers are, Mitt has to spin it negatively.

A good report (and this one was characterized as GREAT and Very Good by Becky Quick and Moody's Analytics) has to be reframed by Mitt as bad. Remember that he lives in Bizarr-oh World and Up is Down, Left is Right, Black is White. And the sad thing is that the people who will vote for this man believe it. Or at least so far they have been listening to him. I read elsewhere on DU that his crowd sizes are dropping. Could it be that his lies and deceptions are finally starting to come through to his followers? I have a feeling that the voices of those PRAISING the Jobs Report will drown out his message of Gloom and Doom. Just stay away from Fox and Rush.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

17. In other words:

water is wet.

BTW are the "job truthers" out and about today???

[Myrina]

18. No profit in payroll ...

He'd like them if they were negative, though because that means more offshoring for his pals & more profits in their Cayman accounts ...

[ItsTheMediaStupid]

19. Yes and I'm sure he doesn't like the recent polling numbers either
