Pols Respond to September Jobs Report

Today, the unemployment rate dropped from 8.1 percent to 7.8 percent for September. This is the first time that unemployment has dropped below 8 percent in the past 43 months.

The 12.1 million unemployed workers show a decrease of 456,000 from the 12.5 million without jobs reported in August.

The drop in the unemployment rate came just in time for President Obama as he and GOP rival Mitt Romney are in the midst of a series of three presidential debates which heavily focus on job creation and the economy.

See how politicians reacted to September's jobs report.

Mitt Romney, GOP Nominee

"This is not what a real recovery looks like. We created fewer jobs in September than in August, and fewer jobs in August than in July, and we've lost over 600,000 manufacturing jobs since President Obama took office.

Paul Ryan, GOP VP Nominee

"Today is a sad indictment of the diminished expectations under President Obama. Far too many Americans are still waiting for their chance in the Obama economy.

I PRAY that Obama gets elected again. It'll be fun having Eric Holder give the Black Panther Party the green light to murder kids just because their skin is on the lighter end of the spectrum. It'll be great to be raped frequently because remember, rapists don't really mean to hurt people, they're just misunderstood. The most exciting aspect of Obama world is that everyone should get the same pay, wear the same level of clothes, drive the same quality of car, and receive the same amount of food regardless of how much or how little a person works. FORWARD COMRADES!!!
