There are reports that tomorrow's August report will show an estimated 201,000 private sector jobs created, better than expected by economists and sending the stock market surging today. Unemployment claims also fell, indicating an uptick in the economy heading into the fall. The Rethugs have been hoping that job creation and unemployment numbers will hurt the President, and lead to wins at the polls (remember their 2008 slogan, Country First!?).
The delicious twist is that the President will know the actual August jobs numbers, which will be formally released tomorrow, tonight by the time his speech is delivered. It would be wonderful if he could point to the numbers as moving in the right direction, and rain on the Rethugs' "Obama Must Fail" parade.
