Spinning Job Numbers Darkens Romney Election Readiness
Cal Thomas argues that Obama spins discouraging June unemployment data as progress while the broader rate rises. He cites 8.2 percent U S unemployment with 14.9 percent broader unemployed, notes rising labor force, and criticizes Obama policies as stifling growth. He compares Reagan and Clinton recoveries, warns Obamacare risks, and urges Romney to frame government limits and private sector strength as the solution.
