MSNBC states there will be significant new hiring in 2011...but also that

[old mark]

the unemploymnent rate is expected to be around 8% by the election in 2012...Predicting trouble for Obama's re-election.

This was just on Andrea Mitchell Reports...

Sorry, but I really don't want a republican president in '12 - NOT ONE of their potential candidates would do good for the country, especially if they continue to take over the congress and many states.

3. Maybe then he'll "have a mandate" n/t

4. well the absence

of another re-election need does tend to free up the hand of second term presidents, although they start to think about their "legacy" so that can lead to some interesting things as well.

2. sound like there has been some significant hiring - unfortunately abroad

5. Hiring in what country? Surely not the U.S. nt
