The Obama administration gonna spin what we are calling a pretty bad report Fox News contributor and -- strategist Sally -- he's -- yeah.
I talk -- the you have my don't act yeah we.
Forget it.
We can get -- that in the end aren't look this was a bit let let's put it like this it was a very disappointing report you're a Democrat I'm sure you would share that opinion you hoping for formal jobs although it's all I would hope all Americans were hoping for -- -- to wanna see the economy cool clusters of course.
Now I think that the president will spin this the other way I think he's gonna say what a second the unemployment rate dropped to eight point 2% -- progress that's going in the right direction I think he's gonna say that and I think he will ignore law.
The fact that back rate came down because.
A 164000.
People dropped out of the workforce and doing all the talking so -- get an outlook.
If Friday were in charge about the president would spin things there be some things I do differently so I can't predict how he's Gannett projected outlook.
I do think what's interesting about the fact for -- having this conversations it's a reminder of the what Americans care first and foremost about right now.
Is jobs than outward that any other deficit except for the jobs deficit and so we want to see the numbers going in the right direction.
And it it troubles me to be honest -- that you know if we saw the reverse of this -- we saw the unemployment -- go up.
That we would that you'd be sitting there are saying exactly this is bad news for the president will be unemployment number goes down and you're still sadness and you know -- -- that doesn't actually help their people wanna say it's bad news for him no matter what and I think we just want our development and I'm not Iraq.
I'm not politically motivated because I'm with you on this I think American wants and needs and should have prosperity and that means a low unemployment -- -- far more jobs.
My angle on this if anything is the president's policies have failed to productions prosperity and more jobs and a much low unemployment.
-- -- funny ordering -- 23 straight months of private sector job growth I I disagree with -- I disagree with you doesn't look quite well what -- lately would slow recovery of any recovery since this -- how you want to compare apples to unknown oranges I mean you're you're sort of making all sorts of assumptions and look.
That -- the economy is recovery.
So the president to say the president's policies have failed is to assume that I don't know had you been president.
-- -- recovery would be what ten times better note that the economy is getting better and jobs are getting better -- -- and rent if you -- -- wet -- it is Ronald Reagan had.
Being president.
We -- gone back to what we weren't 8182.
Creating 67%.
Growth at an unemployment rate that apps let me walk on dealing with no I'm not dealing with this at a reception -- -- -- -- you know to hold our second son I've got to get the facts right yeah this is very important.
Unemployment went high.
When Ronald Reagan -- that he did what when Barack Obama wasn't dealing with an anti Iraq collapses under the -- -- -- -- -- and did you -- let -- collapse of Wall Street and I'm looking to become tight economy and the collapse of manufacturing and that's the -- -- a second Charles.
I in fact I think you know you know and that's have a prolong his religious and I think you Reagan got a warts and be quite frankly -- we wanna talk about the -- in the country crime rates and things.
But the fact this -- Is that good enough for us in this country is a good enough sources say you know I -- and I think you know ultimately what we're talking about your kid coming home but it didn't -- was not -- that.
I mean is that what the president but -- America you know what I once we need to be talking about right now is is this vs what the president has said not only do we wanna improved jobs but we wouldn't from the -- does one improve the quality jobs and -- -- rebuild the middle class and make sure those good jobs.
Verses the Republican budget plan which says let's actually cut spending on the working class on the middle class and on seniors and instead let's give.
Tax bailouts to the billionaires and millionaires are doing well now that tonight that's it hasn't -- -- we already have record tax breaks for the rich and we still have this anemic growth items whose timing and pace that it is extending into that yeah.
Well I want to rather -- High unemployment and Medicare and food stamps and Social Security which are things that people need right now because they're struggling.
And and I for one why we have government to do it.
-- that's a different topic that was in the story south Atlantic region even with all have to wrap next time next time you know we -- -- -- announced that it must.
