Maybe mediocre jobs reports are good news in Europe, but America expects better.

We need to get consistently on track with 200,000 to 250,000 jobs per month in order to finally get our employment situation back in order.

Romney can do it. Obama can't.

In the meantime, this development might have just as much importance as the debate. Folks don't really want to fire Obama unless they feel - unpleasant as it is - that the guy just has to go for their own well being and that of the nation. If they think the economy will keep moving out of the pits (I question that myself), then even if they don't think Mittens is a cold hearted robot with green eye shades, Obama has a path to victory.

Take you lumps as gracefully as your wet kisses is my best advice.

So Politico's spin is what I expected. I wonder what J. J.'s will be.

Maybe he will follow my approach. Cut your losses baby!  Tongue

In other news, anecdotally at least, hiring is picking up in Socal in the construction industry at last.  My poor unemployed roommate is sending out more resumes. That also suggests that the market thinks housing prices have bottomed and are on an upswing, which also seems true - anecdotally.

Yes, cyclical boom is baked in the cake by Obama for Romney's first term.  It will be most gratifying to you and yours to watch him take credit for it.

By the way, you have a 'poor unemployed roommate'?!  Isn't 'rentboy' a paying profession anymore?

He's not one of my boy toys. He's straight.

Well, let me apologize for my teasing.  I was genuinely surprised that a wealthy man like you had a 'roommate'.  Is he more like a majordomo or head butler, managing the Mexican staff and generally taking care of life's little annoyances?

I am helping the chap out, Ron, because he needs help, and most particularly because of his two boys (ages 7 and 11), who live with their alcoholic bi-polar mother, who smokes pot in front of them, along with their 15 year old older brother (sired by a different man). She sometimes fails to feed them, and they have to fend for themselves, and they have no set bedtimes and stay up all hours of the night. When around her, they don't do their homework either. Ron has custody of the boys about a third of the time, and then they stay at my house, which is about 15 miles from the sicko mother's house.

Ron is looking for a job, and when his kids with him at my house, for the first time in my life I am doing a cameo appearance as a quasi parent (it is quite interesting willing to get the brats to do it your way through psychology rather than yelling at them). When his kids are around, the pot and bongs and pipes go upstairs into my bedroom, although sometimes a boy toy will join us for dinner. The kids don't comment on that at all; it is all just part of the landscape. Kids I find (at least these two) are quite adaptable. Ron does a few repairs because he is handy, and picks me up at the airport now and then, and does a bit of shopping at the grocery store with my money, and we share cooking duties. 

When Ron gets a job, and his own digs, I will assist him in obtaining legal custody of the kids. If the mother gets much worse, I will be forced even if Ron is in no position to take custody now, to sic social services on the mother.

Helping the gang out, and seeing the kids improve gives me great personal pleasure opebo. I like helping people, particularly if I think I am doing it in a positive rather than enabling way, as is the case here. Ron is working his heart out to find work, not only for the obvious reasons, but as  a lifeboat for his kids. He's a good man.

Any other questions, opebo?

I must say I am quite impressed with your fantasies about my life style. I'm flattered. Smiley
