Half the MSM is even trying to wave this away. Good luck with that. I think this one might be impossible after 42 months of high unemployment.

Its becoming apparent to anyone who pays attention that there never was a “recovery”

They also revised down the employment numbers for June and July, no surprise there.

"...the lackluster report could wipe out or diminish any traditional bounce in the polls he might have gotten from the festive, well-choreographed three-day Democratic National Convention. "

[elephant]

Even the bounce “like a dead cat” from the convention will not help Zero but the MSM is out spinning on this news.

——The broad message here is flat, flat, flat,”-——

The picture will not lack luster but will be decidedly scuffed and scarred

Doesn’t seem to be bothering him at the polls.
