Uh, its all about making Obama look good. When GWB saw job gains of several hundred thousand per month, he was criticized as not doing enough. Remember? Remember the 2.5 million predicition that was made, the media went nuts, and they revised it down? And the numbers actually exceeded 2.5 million? And all they could say was Bush was an idiot. So, job losses blip down for one month... and Obama is the One. The Only. The Great One.
If Obama were running his campaign now, he would be blasting Bush for those abyssmal numbers.

Why doesn't this make sense to me?
To me that is 129000 more people unemployed than there were three months ago. How can that be good?
Just because an employer decided to hold on to 1000 people for another month doesn't mean that in June, one of the slowest times for manufacturing, they don't let and extra 1000 people go.
I must be damaged.
