Instead of focusing on unemployment, declining home values and foreclosures,
Obama played 9,000 rounds of golf and gave us Obamacare ( DOOMED) ,
Dodd-Frank FinReg and Solyndra.
Peggy Noonan says Obama has been transformed into a Not - So - Smooth Operator.

We just had a president for 8 years who caused unemployment, home prices to go down, foreclosures and lied to get a ridiculously expensive and pointless war to enrich his friends, supporters and Dick Cheney's Halliburton. Peggy backed him 300% the whole time. I am not sure we should be looking to her vision of the future, despite being a top journalist at the Fox "News" of print, the WSJ.
For 2011, Obama’s third year in office, an average of 80 percent of Democrats approved of the job he was doing in Gallup tracking polls, as compared to 12 percent of Republicans who felt the same way. That’s a 68-point partisan gap, the highest for any president’s third year in office — ever. (The previous high was George W. Bush in 2007, when he had a 59 percent difference in job approval ratings.)

Why is Best Buy closing 50 stores?
Best Buy is not doing well because more people are buying electronics online.
The economy added an average of 245,000 jobs a month from December through February.
How do you account for that?

With that Logic,we need 4 more years of Obama,who has continued warmongering,kept Gitmo open(after saying he was going to close it),fix Unemployment (yeah right),and Polarized America.

That was hiring for the Christmas season.
Now it's almost April 2012. You will see the economy slowing.
Obama has no answers. Today he is begging congress to pass the Buffet Rule Tax.
The Buffet Tax will only raise $31 billion over 10 years! We have a $$$ Trillion problem
on our hands. Obama is clueless. Peggy Noonan sees this now. So does
MSNBC Chris Matthews.

From article.
Well, if everybody drops out of the labor force, then the unemployment rate goes to ZERO....

The banks are lining up behind Romney, they have abandoned Obama. This means Romney is our next president.
Early each month, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) of the U.S. Department of Labor announces the total number of employed and unemployed persons in the United States for the previous month, along with many characteristics of such persons. These figures, particularly the unemployment rate—which tells you the percent of the labor force that is unemployed—receive wide coverage in the media.
Some people think that to get these figures on unemployment, the Government uses the number of persons filing claims for unemployment insurance (UI) benefits under State or Federal Government programs. But some people are still jobless when their benefits run out, and many more are not eligible at all or delay or never apply for benefits. So, quite clearly, UI information cannot be used as a source for complete information on the number of unemployed.
Other people think that the Government counts every unemployed person each month. To do this, every home in the country would have to be contacted—just as in the population census every 10 years. This procedure would cost way too much and take far too long. Besides, people would soon grow tired of having a census taker come to their homes every month, year after year, to ask about job-related activities....
There are about 60,000 households in the sample for this survey. This translates into approximately 110,000 individuals, a large sample compared to public opinion surveys which usually cover fewer than 2,000 people. The CPS sample is selected so as to be representative of the entire population of the United States. In order to select the sample, all of the counties and county-equivalent cities in the country first are grouped into 2,025 geographic areas (sampling units). The Census Bureau then designs and selects a sample consisting of 824 of these geographic areas to represent each State and the District of Columbia. The sample is a State-based design and reflects urban and rural areas, different types of industrial and farming areas, and the major geographic divisions of each State. (For a detailed explanation of CPS sampling methodology, see Chapter 1, of the BLS Handbook of Methods.)
