however the media (and the Republicans, of course) seriously exaggerate his ability to unilaterally positively affect unemployment. The Republican Congress is keeping his jobs bill bottled up and they're not going to do anything now to try to make things better (and thus help ensure President Obama's re-election). We'll pretty much just have to wait and see what the numbers are and hope that they're good (or at least that they don't harm President Obama too much). If the previous "bad" jobs reports haven't harmed President Obama too badly by this point, I don't know why the next two will either. Besides, Romney has no solutions to speak of and BTW why is NOBODY even asking why our esteemed "job creators" aren't creating jobs?
