From the day in June 2011 when he announced his White House bid to the night last week when he delivered a commanding debate performance, Mitt Romney has slammed President Obama for a national unemployment rate that remained above 8 percent for 43 straight months.
But with Friday’s news that unemployment has dipped to 7.8 percent, the Republican nominee has been forced to modify an attack he has levied countless times.

how come when all the previous reports are issued the WH says to not take one data point as showing the true story, but "good" numbers come out and everything is rosy?
How does the US economy add 800K+ jobs during a month in which employment taxes and consumer spending FALL?

Every economist in the country says those unemployment numbers are bull-hockey!! If they would lie to you about a terrorist attack on 9/11, they would lie to you/the govt economist about the telephone results that the govt economist uses...
Economy awful. Mideast on fire. Wages down. And what does Obama do? Releases an ad about Big Bird. And this is good too:

Globe says "As the economy shows slow but steady signs of improvement". Notice the word "AS" in this sentence, as if this sentence is automatically true, just because the Globe says it. Since when is $4 gas and millions of people out of work PERMANENTLY an "improvement"? Exactly where is the PROOF of the Globe's opinionated statement? From Kenneth Rogoff, or Paul Krugman?
