[NRaleighLiberal]

to Obama"

Yet you scroll down and you find this -

"Now, no data shows 8% -- or 7.5% -- is the magic rate needed to guarantee re-election.

Indeed, no president since Franklin D. Roosevelt has won re-election with an unemployment rate over 7.2%, if anecdotal evidence is to serve as a guide.

Most election forecasters and political scientists say the way people feel about the economy is far more important -- and if the economy is markedly improved each month leading up to November, that is a best-case scenario for the White House.

1. the corporate masters want to downplay unemployment

they want to make it look like things are going well so that we can forget about helping people and focus on "deficit reduction."
