Economic growth picks up slightly but not enough to make a dent in unemployment. Which candidate does this favor?

I said "Romney" simply because he is an experienced businessman. Perhaps he can bring jobs back.

But there were more votes for Obama. How in Sam's Hill can the slow growth of jobs FAVOR Obama?

Does this reflect the mentality of the voters who will vote for our POTUS?

they do need a change but to bring pride into the situation i know dome americans who hate america and some that love america not all americans love the usa there are americans who dont care about america rather peole see it or not

By the time of the election I will have been fasting for 18 hour every day for 40 days. That’s just how much this election means to me and I am not alone. Obama is a traitor to this country. We cannot afford four more years of this man. My children need a future and a country they can be proud of - one that offers jobs and opportunities - not one that offers food stamps and welfare checks. We can't sustain the debt and he knows it - yet he spends like a pig. He must be voted out - it's time for all Americans to come together and make the choice to reduce our debt - bring back our jobs and save our country - the only chance we have for this is Romney

Yes, Romney IS our only chance, and our only chance is now! Four years from now will be too late I think.

I don't know whether Romney CAN make a big enough difference, but I pray he has the CHANCE!

Too bad Obama left no room for any stimulus spending. Oh, wait; that plan failed.

Anyone who pays any attention at all dissects these numbers, and it is very clear that the jobs situation is NOT improving, and neither is the growth of the economy. This economy will not improve until business owners have a clear path - until the uncertainty over the level of fees & taxes they will be paying subsides.

how anyone can think that the man who made the country worse overall could make it better is beyond me? They are living in bizarro world

O'bummer done enough damage, time for a new broom

Ultimately it won't favor either of them.

Romney is the only candidate with a real plan that is actually backed by more economist than the one that does not per Obama!

The only dent in unemployment numbers made by this president are the people falling through the cracks when the checks quit coming.

No mo BO the ZERO!

Sure isn't going to be Robmey, so you're going to be in quite a predicament aren't you?

Obama has no plan but more of the same which will mean a passing of Obama care which is proven already to cost double what he said thus adding a trillion more to the deficit. Taxing the rich more which creates zero jobs onlt brings in 70 billion more! Obama will force through Cap and trade which will double electric prices and eventually the lack of drilling will double the price of gas thus hurting the poor and middle class with higher food, clothing, and everything else. This will ripple and cause major losses in jobs thus placing a bigger burden to tax more and more loss of jobs. Romney actually has a plan that will immediately bring 3 million jobs, lower gas prices, increase gov revenue thus reducing the deficit--creating more jobs, lower food and clothing prices so people will spend more because they have more to spend thus sparking even more job creation--again Obama--no plan but higher gas--ROmney real plan and job creation!

Romney HAS no plan, where are the specifics? 20% tax cut across the board, and what loopholes is he going to close. You're voting for complete corporate control of this country. That is your business, but it isn't going to happen. You might be too stupid to see it.......but Americans know Romney is a snake oil salesman, who intends to reverse Roe V Wade, who doesn't support equal pay for women, who wants to privatize FEMA.....that is a NIGHTMARE. He will NEVER see the inside of that White House. He is a lying piece of crap.

Hey bilingu!!!! What about obamas plan? More than 16 trillion in debt!! More than 25million americans without jobs!! More than 50 million on foodstamps!!! More than 4 americans abandaned in a firefight for seven hours while obama jets off to vegas to raise money!! More apology tours to the moslim terrorists!!!
HEY BILINGUAL BUTTLICKER! !! WE ARE FIRING YOUR HERO!!! KICK ROCKS LOSER!!!

The monkey has no plan but to spend spens and give away more than the next hundred years can pay back.
16 trillion alreade and counting pissed away!

Yes, if our POTUS is re-elected we will be in a world of hurt--literally!

You have a problem reading I suppose. I said ROMNEY.

No, no problem reading, just clicked the wrong "reply" square.

Bile-Lingual blocked me so I'll post Mitt's 5 point plan on you post, if you don't mind.




What do you have to say now, "Bile"-Lingual? Oh, wait a minute. You can't say anything because you blocked me! Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha



You probably don't even know what Bile is!

And where is Obama's plan? Why it's a cute little picture book that he released last week. I wonder if it comes with crayons?

Thanks for the laugh.

I do disagree with one of his points. I believe we have enough "bright" young people here in America without going overseas.

I can't wait to see the numbers of Republicans voted into the Senate. Hope there are many.

4 more years of the same monkey business!

You can take a monkey out of the jungle but----

It should favor Romney...UNLESS your in a Coma...!

The Obama worship I am witnessing is something very close to a coma! Too strange.

You can thank Obama for this, as his policies have done nothing to help people.

But look how his policies have counterbalanced that in harming people! ;-)

Just think, then BO can blame Romney instead of Bush!

Slight pickup? The economy is in catastrophically miserable shape...so slightly doesn't do it. We need an experienced business guy to turn things around.
And....many of the indicators are fudged.

Four years of failure is enough, don't need four more years of failure!

irrelevant, except to the extent that writing in RP or voting for GJ will return Obama.

returning Obama is suicidal.

That's not true at all. There are as many Democrats willing to write in a Libertarian as there are Republicans. It's a wash.

i've never seen a number on that. who's telling you that? the RP, GJ or Jill Stein camps?

Common sense tells me this.

It stands to reason that a large portion of those voting third party are alienated from either the Republican or Democrat party. This is a logical deduction because where else would those third party voters who aren't dyed in the wool Libertarians come from? Considering the validity of this premise, don't you think Democrats have at least as many reason to leave their party as do the Republicans?
