GOP hopeful Rick Santorum found a way on Friday to give Republicans credit for the lowest unemployment rate in three years.
Speaking to a crowd at a town hall event in Keene, New Hampshire, the Republican presidential candidate said that the economy added 200,000 nonfarm jobs last month because people were hopeful President Barack Obama was not going to be re-elected in 2012.
“I’m very gratified to see that in spite of President Obama’s policies, the job market is beginning to pick up a little bit,” the candidate opined.
“I think there might just be some optimism that maybe Republicans are going to take the White House,” Santorum added with a smile. “Maybe that’s spurring people to start taking some risks. I’ll take that as a reason.”
The Labor Department said earlier Friday that the unemployment rate dropped to 8.5 percent, the lowest since February 2009. Most analysts had expected unemployment to rise to 8.7 percent.

I said to the wife a couple of years back when Obummers reign was beginning and the unemployment rate was rising that when it came time for the 2012 election the unemployment rate would be polished off and shined up resulting in a lower rate so Obummer would look good. Would not surprise me to see more economic data than that skewed to get Barry Soetoro reelected. I hope we see through this.

So, employers are hiring in December 2011 because they anticipate there will be a new president in January 2013.
Right .... because people base hiring decisions on things they think MIGHT happen 13 months from now.
I wouldn't even give a shite what this loon says, except he's "surging" in all the Republican polls!

In the most recent head to head battle between Obama and Santorum the conservative Rasmussen Poll has Obama winning by 10 percentage points. Now... where is that optimism coming from again?

The optimism would more than likely be that the Republican field is to weak to take the White House. I'll take that as a reason. Think of what the unemployment rate would have been without an obstructionist Republican Congress.

Rick Santorum needs to find out why he is so obsessed with other people's sex lives. he has no business even being considered the possible nominee. Just goes to show how far we have fallen . This cast of Not Ready For Prime Time Players is really distressing.

I live in Texas, and I am just glad this dolt is taking the spotlight off Ricky...It was getting real tiresome taking the hits for that idiot...but this one...wow...I think sometimes he just looks out at his audience and opens his mouth with no idea what will come tripping out...yeah these jobs come from the great optimism that the Repuglicans have built in Congress in the past three years...and in anticipation of one of those fools winning the WH where they can really look like clowns to all of the world...oh I forgot, they do already....
