RUSH: When the unemployment news came out today — no, we\u2019re gonna start with number two. <\/p>\n

I want to go back and play for you from October 28th on this show<\/a>, this, just to remind you that none of this that\u2019s happening today and what will happen in ensuing months should surprise you. It\u2019s gonna depress you, but it shouldn\u2019t surprise you.<\/p>\n

RUSH ARCHIVE: I\u2019m gonna tell you what it\u2019s gonna be. “See, it was worse than we knew when Obama was inaugurated. And it\u2019s taking longer for his policies to work than anybody knew. And they\u2019re finally starting to work. Look at it all now, stock market going through the roof, GDP up two and a half percent. Took longer than any of us knew, but we can\u2019t afford to start changing horses now. We can\u2019t change horses in the middle of the stream.” You\u2019re gonna see Obama approval numbers start inching up, and you might see unemployment come down. I\u2019m still waiting for the government to report a below 9% unemployment figure. And if that happens, and even if the below 9% number is 8.9%, forget the point nine, it will be the eight that they focus on. They can\u2019t wait for it, they\u2019re setting it up.<\/p>\n

RUSH: October 28th of last year. I predicted to you this very day, predicted what would happen. Let\u2019s go to a media montage, how great this news is for Obama. To hell with the country. It\u2019s great for Obama and his reelection effort.<\/p>\n

TODD: Breaking news. A burst of January hiring. It\u2019s the fifth straight month we\u00c2\u2019ve seen the unemployment rate go down. It really does put Mitt Romney\u2019s messaging in a very awkward position.<\/line><\/p>\n

WALLACE: Good news for Barak Obama. No question about it.<\/p>\n

COOK: A trend the Obama administration\u00c2\u2019s going to like.<\/p>\n

LIU: The Obama administration may be looking at a jobs market where the rate could fall to 8% or below.<\/p>\n

SORKIN: If it\u2019s under eight that\u2019s an Obama win easy?<\/p>\n

HARWOOD: When you get to the springtime of a re-election year, when the economy is lifting and people share that sense, it\u2019s very auspicious for a President.<\/p>\n

HEMMER: President Obama. This is a big political number.<\/p>\n

VARNEY: Very big. The President will now be able to go out and say, “My policies have indeed turned around this economy.”<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, even though they haven\u2019t, and even though his policies have cost us $5 trillion. And to put it in a more understandable context, the federal budget for years 2013 and 2014 have already been spent, at current levels. The 2013, 2014 budget, already spent. Five trillion bucks. Added to the national debt. And, remember, we were told by Gallup a couple of weeks ago that the real unemployment number doesn\u2019t matter, it\u2019s the trend that counts, it\u2019s the trend, and if we\u2019re trending up by hook or by crook. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
