If I was a Democrat...
I would probably be disappointed by the report released today that unemployment has stayed at 6.1%. That's the same rate we saw last month, which is approximately one-fourth the unemployment rate during the Great Depression and only a sneeze away from what we used to consider full employment. Yes, we are facing a financial crisis, but the economy is not in the free fall that many in the media and the Democratic Party (and, unfortunately, many in the GOP too) want to believe it is in.
