In response, the Kerry campaign has announced a 3:00 AM rally in Dead Horse, Alaska.
Yes, it's the worst economy in 60 years. :-)
Interesting. Twice the previous number. How do you miss 36,000 jobs?
You have partisan Democrats in the agencies that track and interpret the numbers ?
My heart just breaks for them. ;o)
Or as someone said this summer, "Shove it, Girly boy!"
Dear G Man,
It appears that the Yankees are out in front by 3 1/2 games, at least as of this morning.

You just distilled the entire Democratic Convention into 10 words. Kudos! :^)
Ask that sissy how he came up with those numbers. When he gets done saying "um, er, well, I think, I heard..." Educate him by telling him that the numbers used by the Kerry Lie team are from a survey sent out to large corporations.... and they use the ones the corporations bother to send in. Then tell him that 80% of job growth during this Administration has been in the small business sector, which is not included in the survey. Then by ask him that if so many jobs are lost, why aren't Kerry and others talking about the unemployment rate? He won't have an answer for any of those questions, but may parrot the Dumbasscratic talking points. Conclude by telling him that since he obviously knows not what he speaks, he should stop exposing himself as an idiot and take the damn sign down!
Because the difference between the preliminary 144,000 number for August and 150,000 is statistically insignifigant.
Get real.

Pssssst! Somebody better tell John Fraud Kerry then, 'cause that's how he started off his "midnight madness" rally last night! LOL!
It is very rare for the "expected number" to be this close to the actual released number. Anything from 125k to 175k jobs would have been been considered similar numbers.

From the AP:
"America's payrolls picked up in August, with the economy adding 144,000 jobs, slightly less than economists were forecasting and highlighting the slow and uneven recovery in the labor market that jobseekers have braved."
"But the drop in the jobless rate in August came as people left the work force for any number of reasons"
"The gain in payrolls was short of the 150,000 net jobs that economists were calling for."
"Job gains for July were revised up to 73,000, still a lackluster number but an improvement from the 32,000 advance first estimated."
"The economy has lost 913,000 jobs since Bush took office."
"In August retail and automobile sales came in sluggish, consumer confidence dropped and manufacturing activity grew at a slower pace."
"Economists want to see at least 200,000 net jobs added a month on a consistent basis before declaring the labor market fully healed."
Could these guys be any more negative?
up revision of July to 73,000 as well. Wages up a nickle.
He and I don't talk any more after his index finger all most came off his hand when he tried to jab it into my chest while lying/whining about the upcoming draft, which isn't happening.
He bought his home for 1.3 million 3 years ago. He has put about $350,000 in extras, like a pool, walls like old missions and other exterior stuff. They own 3 new Audis and have a new Foreign SUV ordered. They have 2 loser sons in expensive colleges, the son at home, the only redeeming one goes to a very expensive private high school. His wife walks their 3 dogs twice a day as her job.
Yet, this clymer lies/whines about the economy. What is funny everyone on this cul de sac is employed, owns their own business or is retired like me. All adult children are employed or own their own business/profession. Everybody during the terrible Bush recession has spent a lot of money on improving their home and bought at least one new vehicle. That was financed by lower home owner loans and what we made on the stock market last year.
