If Romney categorizes the jobs numbers as "a hammer blow to the middle class", just wait to see the "death knoll of the middle class" that he will create, if he is elected. Romney has no inkling of what the middle class is, much less how to help us, if he wished to do so. He won't!
Presidential candidate Mitt Romney called Friday's unemployment report "another hammer blow to the struggling middle class"
LOL! What the hell does willard romney know about the middle class?
He will NEVER be able to connect with average Americans, and only keep proposing more tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans that will be paid for by the "struggling middle class".
As a matter of fact, yesterday's report of the creation of 172,000 jobs was more than every month during bush's tenure except for six!
Got that willard, the other 90 months during bushworld, with all those great tax cuts that YOU keep proposing, had either LESS jobs created or we saw jobs LOST!
And wilard has the audacity to push more of the same failed bush policies on us -- actually bush policies on steroids -- after history has shown us over the past decade, it will not increase economic growth or create jobs! WAKE-UP America!
Even with today's jobs report showing the creation of 172,000 jobs while the unemployment figure ticked up a tenth of a percent, private sector job creation under President Obama has far exceeded private sector job creation under President Bush. 42 months into his presidential term, there are currently more private sector jobs in the economy than when Obama came into office. At the same point in President Bush's term, the total number of private sector jobs was still down 1.7 percent from where it began.
But willard romney wants to take America backwards to the bush years on steroids, where job creation was net-zero, and economic growth was a depressing average of 1.7% -- but the wealthy did well.
The republican'ts want a uniform government. They are itching - hungering - to dismantle the entire fabric of federal social programs like Medicare, Social Security, unemployment insurance, workers' compensation, minimum wage, Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., the graduated income tax and consumer protections like the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Food and Drug Administration.
These savings can then be passed along to the 1% in the form of tax cuts.
Seems that willard romney's campaign advisers seem concerned that undecided voters may view him as having been 'too rich for too long,' says National Journal White House correspondent Major Garrett".
Of course willard is completely detached from the middle class from being 'too rich for too long' as a member of the plutocracy, and will never be able to connect to the average American! NEVER!
I like being lectured about jobs-related 'moral failure' by a guy who became insanely rich by sucking the assets out of American companies, closing American plants, offshoring American jobs, throwing Americans out of work, stealing American workers' pensions, and then hiding the proceeds in Switzerland and the Caymans to take it OUT of the American economy so it can't create even one American job, and so he doesn't have to pay taxes on it like regular Americans.
That's a real effective tactic, Mr Romney.
Porn star Jenna Jameson's endorsement of Romney is understandable. They have a lot in common.
Why is the GOP keeping it's "Big Gun" locked up in the chicken coop behind the barn?
I want to see George W Bush released from GOP prison and start campaigning for Romney.
I think it would be very beneficial to hear GWB remind us all of how great Bush's trickle down economic plan, er...Romney's trickle down economic plan...err, the same plan, worked before...err..will work again.
Bill Clinton is coming out to the Dems' party. No Fear Bill and no shame for the Dems. They are proud of Bill and can't wait to let him off the chain.
Anyone at the GOP want to comment on that?
Where's the GOP love and respect for their main man, GWB?
Even with today's disappointing jobs report, private sector job creation under President Obama has far exceeded private sector job creation under President Bush, despite the Great Recession being much deeper and more devastating.
The numbers are even starker when measuring each president's record from the moment job creation returned. Private sector job creation returned in February of 2010, the 13th month of President Obama's term. Since then, the economy has added 4.7 million private sector jobs, a 4+ percent increase.
Under President Bush, the economy stopped shedding private sector jobs in July of 2003, fully 30 months into his administration. From that point until May of 2004, the economy added just 1.5 million private sector jobs, an increase of only 1.4 percent.
But there is one area of job creation where President Bush clearly outshines President Obama: the public sector. Public sector employment is now down 608,000 workers since January 2009, a 2.7 percent decline. At the same point in President Bush's term, public sector employment was up 3.7 percent. If, over the past 42 months, public sector employment had grown at the same pace as it did in President Bush's first term, there would be 1.5 million additional people at work right now. That'd be enough to bring the unemployment rate down by nearly a full percentage point.
Thank you george wmd bush, for growing government so well.
Hey brainless numbnuts Robmee: the jobs report is GOOD news for Obama and America. He must "know" that but since he is a Republicon he has to say the exact opposite. You have to think backwards and upside down with these crazies.

Turns out there are not enough of those tax breaks in romney's plan that benefit high income taxpayers to make it revenue neutral just within that group. That's not a judgment, it's a mathematical fact of life.
So in order to make sure his plan would not add to the deficit, romney would have to pay for $86 billion worth of high-income tax cuts by cutting deductions that benefit middle- and low-income earners, according the Tax Policy Center study.
If his plan is to be revenue neutral, as romney has said it would be, the study shows he would have to raise taxes on 95 percent of Americans -- families earning less than $200,000 - by an average of $500 per year. Millionaires will still get an $87,000 tax cut.

They both made a lot of money by screwing people.

So I say again!
FREE GWB!
Fact is that the jobs numbers could not have been practically better relative to the last two months.
Of course if 500K jobs would have been added, ROmneywould have found something to carp about.
