Bad News on Jobs


More bad news on the economic front.  I think any President gets more blame and credit then is deserved for national economic performance. Still, when you are the sitting President, you get punished when the economy falters. And America is getting pretty tired of this. If the economy does not turn around President Obama will likely be a one term President - not that I have heard many good ideas from the Republicans on how to improve the economy.
