Job report out--21,000 jobs in Feb; Jan. revised downward to 97,000

Perhaps I missed it here at DU but I don't think it's been posted in GD. I heard this about an hour ago on CNN...along with long faces that said it isn't very good news for Bush. Now that is the understatement of the century. Go peddle your vision for America now, Bush. Please tell us more about the place "you want to lead us to" as you crow about in your ads. Ohhh, I feel the energy building in the Democratic camp. Bush is being left with a bullhorn and the rubble of 9/11 to run on and the families of 9/11 are taking even that away from him.

1. I'm just waiting for him to say the stats are wrong.

Waiting for him to say it's all "fuzzy math".

2. According to the repukes, the economy is "building momentum."

Yeah and that momentum is headed straight out of the country.Edited to add, WELCOME to DU.

4. Here's what the FREEPERs are saying ....

Couple of snips from the "positive economic front"

"...and the unemployment rate held at 5.6 percent as more Americans gave up their search for a job." OR, they started their own business, OR the took a job with the millions of small businesses that are NOT polled by the labor department when they publish their new hire statistics.

3. They are talking about this on CSpan right now

Dianne Feinstein said that of those 21,000 jobs, most were government jobs. Turn on C-span if you can. Dick Durbin is speaking now.
