No where in that first paragraph do you see that unemployement fell to 4.8% (beyond full employment).
But that would be going against the newsmedia talking down the economy.

Considering we have gone a record time for job increases this sounds worse than it is...

Ummm.... still better than when Clinton was in office, less than 7.5 %. Why compare BEST to less than best? If we are in a recession now, we must have been in a DEPPRESION during Clinton. The media is really trying to get to a “ It’s the Economy, Stupid.” moment to downplay Bush’s legacy.

“No where in that first paragraph do you see that unemployement fell to 4.8% (beyond full employment).”
And no where do you read about how many of those job losses were not in the public sector but in Government jobs, which is not a bad thing if those numbers fall.

CNN during Bush:
"Despite the loss, the unemployment rate improved to 4.8% from the 4.9% reading in January. Economists had forecast the unemployment rate would rise to 5%." vs CNN during Clinton:
July 5, 1996 WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Economists didn't expect June's unemployment rate to be much different from May's, which was an already-low 5.6 percent.
5.6 is already low under clinton. 4.9 is something you improve from under Bush.

"The weak report fueled already mounting recession fears and is likely to keep the Federal Reserve cutting interest rates further when it meets later this month."Why don't they just go ahead and make interest rates 0.00, and be done with it? /sarc

Bass Pro Shops cleaned out its design department today with the exception of 5 people. Bass Pro is feeling the pinch like most retailers are. But everything is fine isn’t it? Ask those people who got the axe.
