From its typical doom-and-gloom spin about Obama this morning, ABC's Rick Klein writes [emphasis added]:
The new unemployment figures out Friday may cause some quiet celebration among economists. Early estimates suggest November figures will show between 100,000 and 130,000 fewer jobs in November, significantly better than October's 190,000.
But at some point it's got to go from not getting worse as quickly as it's been getting, to actually getting better.
Until that point, this will be a presidency, if not an economy, on the brink -- and the White House knows it.
Actual number of jobs lost last month? Just 11,000.
UPDATED: It will be interesting to see and hear how the GOP Noise Machine deals with the good economic news today. As we've noted in the past, the conservative media in 2009 seem to cheerlead, and become downright giddy over, bad news, because that way they can blame Obama; they can revel in America's failures.
Will right-wing pundits today try to play down the fact more Americans are now working? Will they portray that as a bad thing?
