and this will just reinforce what Romney said last night....economy is in the toilet under Obama and he has no answer.

[Huskrrrr]

...as Obama lays an unexpected egg last night.

[VanDeKoik]

Gotta save the fun for the upward revision next week.

[Jake8898]

What a biased title. It ROSE less than expected! And, everyone knows it’ll rise past expectations.

What a bunch of obama lickspittles the media is.

[Michigander222]

Shocking and unexpected.....as usual.

[SampleMan]

“rose less than expected”

So, things got suckier (even with phony statistics), but they weren’t as suckier as some had predicted, thus, things are actually better.

This actually sounds like a comedy routine. 4000 down but adjusted last week 4000 up...

[TomGuy]

The prior week's figure was revised up to show 4,000 more applications than previously reported.

They used to REVISE UP about 2,000, but that wasn't enough. So, they started REVISING UP about 3,000.

Now, they are REVISING UP 4,000.

Their guesstimates are getting 'worser' and 'worser' as they try to give Obama cover.

Why do they bother putting their spin on it? The numbers have consistently been between 360,000 and 400,000 since obama took office. They’ve never gone below 350,000.

A regime that can force DOD to tell Lockheed that it’s OK not to send out layoff notices and that the regime will use taxpayer dollars to fight off the resulting lawsuits, is a regime that can do anything it wants with unemployment sadistics.

Still expecting really bad unemployment news mid to late October so that, with the shifting of numbers from excel column A to column B, the week or two prior to Nov 6 can be rosy.

[tsowellfan]

John, Obama keeps saying that he’s creating jobs. He must be talking about the extra help needed at the unemployment office.

[JIM O]

We have to give these guys credit. They worked very hard to come up with the headline.

I think maybe its time that the MSM begin to villify the unemployed they sure are screwing up the presidents reelection campaign

Jobless claims rise less than expected last week

That's all that really matters.

[johnsondavid841]

Basically the economy stayed flat for this year.

[FlingWingFlyer]

They’ll be back to the “expected” level when they are “revised” next week. No big thing.
