Romney tries to spin job numbers

[MnAttorney]

And does his typical horrible job. I know he can't say anything nice, but in this case isn't better not to say anything at all? At least Reuters called him on his bullshit. I have never personally disliked a politician quite so much in my life.

1. Despicable, yes, but not a "horrible job"...

Actually, he (or, rather, his handlers) found a perfectly-crafted sound bite that hits all the points he could be expected to make. Unemployment up, higher than when Obama took office, economy at virtual standstill. Sure, it had an inevitable "pay no attention to the 171,000 jobs gained behind the curtain" quality, but it will do just fine to convince the low-information voters he so depends on.
