Overlooked fact of today's good job numbers

Forget the short-term thinking. The big news is that the economy is starting accelerate again. The economy in the next four years are going to be vastly better than the previous four years.

That's why this election is so important. If Romney wins, it's going to look like his crackpot policies caused the economy to take off. Or even worse, the confidence fairy did it.

If Obama wins, the Democratic nominee will be in good shape for 2016. If Romney wins, he's pretty much guaranteed a second term.

the recovery of the economy will end and we will enter the worst depression we have ever seen. The economy is balanced on the edge of a knife right now and one breeze in the wrong direction will see us falling for decades to come.

the other day say, he may just say the hell with the deficit and get a jobs bill passed through the Republican house. You know the Republicans would pass it and there would be a lot of Democrats that would go along. Democrats aren't going to make a pact to sabotage his presidency like the Republicans have.
