The Truth of the Matter

"If language be not in accord with the truth of things, affairs cannot be carried on to success."

            - Confucius (circa 551 - 479 B.C.)

I stumbled across this post over at HobbsOnline A.M. a few minutes ago, and thought someone else might like to see it.  Hobbs has analyzed the unemployment situation in our country and drawn some conclusions that just don't fit with what we're seeing in the news.

"...there are more people working today than when George W. Bush took office back in January 2001. That's right--more people are working now than at the end of the Clinton administration. That's not a partisan shot at Clinton, it's just a statement of fact. The source for it is the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics." 

If Bill's reasoning is correct, and it appears to be, why isn't the Bush administration talking about these numbers in a more positive manner? As much as the Democratic candidates are screaming about high unemployment, it would seem an expedient thing to do. 

Jim Miller at Jim Miller on Politics makes some comments about the lack of coverage of the Zell Miller endorsement of President Bush which I wrote about last night in my post, "Uh-Oh."  I haven't seen much mention of it on the "Lefty Blogs" that I regularly visit either.
