MSNBC and the Obama campaign can't spin this, they'll just ignore it.

Obama is in trouble, deep trouble.

The talking point that Romney can run with (in addition to the point about what types of jobs are bing created) in his ads/speeches that doesn't require much in the way of nuance is this one:

All told, the proportion of the population that is either working or looking for work fell to 63.5 percent. That's the lowest level in 31 years for the labor force participation rate.

Yeah it looks like that centrist jobs bill that Obama introduced that got passed through both houses of Congress didn't work.

you guys do realize how little THIS jobs report will play into ballot casting in november, right? This country is plagued by a case of collective goldfish memory...get this unnecessary gloom and doom conversation going again 4 days before election day when THAT jobs report comes out. This has no effect on the undecided voter.

That's his entire point. Republicans blocked it.

His jobs bill last year made it out of Congress but got blocked by the Dems in the Senate from being voted on because they didn't think they had the votes.

To be honest neither side in Congress has done anywhere near enough to earn their paychecks. They are collectively a bunch of useless a$$holes and that is why their favorability numbers are so low.

god damn you nikkas are more pessimistic than young money fans after lil wayne dropped dedication 4

what did y'all think the jobs report was gonna be??? did the DNC conventions REALLY whip up this kind of frenzy

this is why y'all failed in 08, obama made y'all feel good, y'all thought reality was changed through voting and then nikkas chilled

No. This shyt takes time. And substantial changes on multiple levels. The fact that we're expected to check every jobs report should let you know how trapped you are by the other sides way of thinking.
