Best spin job on the economy I've ever seen.
To: Rennes Templar
Didn’t exactly turn out that way, did it? I wonder what economists they talked to?

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Jobs growth probably snapped back in May from weather-related distortions that had slowed hiring, suggesting the economy was still expanding moderately despite strong headwinds from Europe.

The same economists Obama is always referring to when he says, "most economists agree with my economic agenda".

Reuters your making the shade of Goebbels blush.

Kramer said this morning that Mitt Romney’s grin is visible from space today. Who writes these “probably” stories? The actual numbers were a disaster and the market is plummeting. They were saying this morning there is not a single positive number in today’s report, that we are entering a slowdown.

Favorable speculation is the only way they can get a positive headline. Reuters takes One for the One.

The article was posted about 9 hours ago, as the reporter attempted to "prime the pump" for good news on the jobs front.
In Texas we have a word for this: FAIL.

Reuters:
If it weren’t for (this and this ..... ‘list of 100 reasons’ anything but Dems/Obama’s fault),
job growth ticking upwards and we see a healthy recovery.

Massachusetts: NOTE: I don't live in or near Massachusetts.
When Romney was governor, out of the 57 states mentioned by Obama, what was Massachusetts position as far as the unemployment rate?
4 to 5% unemployment? I read or heard somewhere that when Romney was Governor, the Massachusetts unemployment rate was 4 to 5%.
If that is true, where did that rate place Massachusetts among all 57 states? Was it at the bottom or near the top?
Thanks.
To: Rennes Templar
As I’m reading this, I am also reading another thread stating that just 69,000 new jobs were added and the unemployment rate is up to 8.2 percent.

Same page of FR, headline from today’s LA Times “Economy adds a disappointing 69,000 jobs in May”. The Reuters article must have been done by Elizabeth Warren’s genealogist who “discovered” she is 1/32 Indian and later recanted.

I couldn't believe it: Mike Barnicle zinged Deval Patrick yesterday on Morning Joe. After several minutes of discussing Romney's record as governor, Mike asked, "what was the UE rate in MA at the end of Romney's term?"
Patrick answered, "4.7%".
Kind of renders the "47th out of 50" talking point meaningless, if you ask me.
