The backbone of America is hurting. Will Obama "fix it" this time? http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2012/09/06/Unemployment-Rate-Rises-to-8-4-Percent-in-Rural-Counties;

Jobs numbers coming out tomorrow - I hope (sm) - nm::::

they are really bad and that the gas prices skyrocket before election day.

Better pray for earthquakes, tidal waves and Cat 4 hurricanes - divine intervention in the Gulf

or perhaps another offshore oil spill. Otherwise, the Labor Day bump is behind us, the Isaac rise didn't really materialize and hurricane season is winding down and will be just about over by Halloween.

The jobs report thing isn't gonna happen for you (see this threads numerous debunks), but I'm a little confused about your wanting higher gas prices. If you channel your inner Romney and Gingrich, who claim Obama WANTED gas prices to rise, wouldn't that wish be playing right into the president's hands?

Of course, the notion that Obama is to blame for higher gas prices has been found mostly false by Politifact, which is probably an insignificant finding for those pols who have vowed that their campaigns are not going to be "dictated" by the fact checkers.

Example is the credit given to the dems for the stock market. See my post which is way down there.....

and you can't dislike it because it comes from financial news, not a blog or opinion piece.

Wow. How could you hope for that. This is - exactly the attitude SM

That's the job of the President and I don't think he's doing a very good job.

Speaker and majority leader. The president is in a - separate branch all together.

It's called the executive branch. Civics 101: Executive, legislative and judicial. Got it?

I'll tell you what they mean. They mean that (sm) - Aunt Sue

Obama et.al has convinced the sheeple that it's Congress' fault that nothing was agreed on. Last I heard, he was supposed to be the leader of the country and could bring the sides together. What happened? All he has done is divide and then blame.

The Republican leadership has betrayed this country by determining to block all the legislation they could, to cripple the works of our country so we'd all be in terrible shape for this election. They have, impeding and slowing the economic recovery and jobs growth as much as possible. They planned for us to be unhappy and hurting at this point.

Who will you vote for this time? Or better question, who ARE you?

It makes no difference in terms of the economic impact on wages whether an employer exports the work to where the cheap labor is located, or takes advantage of cheap labor that comes to where the work is located. The only difference is that one means used to drive wages lower and keep them low is legal, while the other means is not. Think about it.
