Hahahahahhaaaaa. 5.5% unemployment and dropping, but suddenly it's only 126k jobs created and OH NOES! SPUTTERING ECONOMY! RECOVERY IS OVER! etc. etc.

Unemployment is a component of the labor force participation rate. Jobs created is a better metric for determining whether an economy is creating enough jobs to provide ample opportunity to the population.

We need at least 200,000 jobs per month, and we need closer to 250,000 if we're going to have enough workers to pay for SS/MED, which is something you should care about more than fluffing Obama.
But didn't President Romney say that unemployment would be at 6% at the end of his first term? Wasn't that good enough for you back in 08?
