It's fascinating that the narrative is now that happy days are here again, with an epically cooked unemployment number. Just one number and are picking out drapes.

He is not going to win becuase all those people managed to find a job are all working part-time. The rest still have no jobs and have been vaporized off the books. They do vote you know.

This is the reason he will not be re-elected. A monumental drop in the standard of living that has effected more people than you think.

Also we are not even factoring in the:

Coming collapse of the Euro.
Six buck gas.

Sorry to burst the bubble....
