The empty chair is going down as the biggest failure ever to occupy the white house


CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - His convention over, President Barack Obama ran smack into the harsh reality of a bleak new report on the nation's unemployment outlook Friday. Republican rival Mitt Romney pounced on the disappointing jobs figures as fresh evidence that it's time to put someone new in the Oval Office.
The candidates both campaign in New Hampshire and Iowa, improbable battleground states in the too-close-to-call race. Their campaigning is sure to be dominated by the new Labor Department report showing that U.S. employers added just 96,000 jobs last month, failing to meet expectations.
The unemployment rate fell to 8.1 percent from 8.3 percent in July, but only because more people gave up looking for work.
"After 43 straight months of unemployment above 8 percent, it is clear that President Obama just hasn't lived up to his promises and his policies haven't workedMy Way News - Convention over, Obama hit with weak job report

Considering all the obstruction by the Righties with no assistance to create jobs , not a bad report! The Righties took an oath to prevent Obama from any success is obvious to anyone with a brain. Expect for the twisted minds of the Right. Republicans are a dam disgrace to our country and DON'T want what is best for this country in creating jobs. It's all about the mighty dollar in the rich man's pocket and getting the black man out of the White House and watch The President fail on purpose. Period! Instead of worrying about how the DNC Convention went, I think you need to worry about your own failed Convention with their tiny one percent bump in the polls. The Dems Convention had substance and vision while the RNC Convention had lies, hatred an empty chair and with absolutely no solution and substance but just say to the American people.... "you can trust me, just vote for me". With Romney's record on his lies, his avoiding submitting his tax returns, his off shore bank accounts and his flip flopping on every single issue he stood for years ago I'd say this man is the LAST man on earth people can trust and you can include Lying Ryan in that mix as well! Talk about empty chairs.... there's two big empty chairs representing Romney and Ryan that empty ideas to help our country!!!

I note that many posters herein have scant, if any, respect for the 'average American voter' (calling them sheeple, uninformed, etc).

Thus, I submit that most average American voters will only see that the unemployment rate dropped from 8.3 to 8.1 percent, which they will say is 'good'.

Hence, I imagine that this report will be viewed as mainly favorable to most average American voters.

Just saying.

You should at least try to get your argument correct before you go on a rant. What evidence to you have the Romney did not submit tax returns?

Yeah, you probably should delete that. Youre not doing yourself any favors...
