in the cake? i can t think of a good reason why the numbers would get significantly better between now and the election. there s only two more jobs reports, one of them which actually comes four days before the election. even if they were really good, it s hard to believe that that s going to make a big difference the way people feel. it s only going to sort of like take quite a bit longer to sort of sink in. the one positive thing we have seen, the stock market did hit a four-year high this week. the stock market looks forward. they re seeing action in europe, seeing action they hope next week from the federal reserve which will eventually begin to turn things around. it s not much, but it is something that perhaps people will feel in their pocketbooks and portfolios and with time, maybe in the job market. and the action in europe is significant, at least the central banker in europe took significant action, that was a big piece i think you would say of what the stock market was r
and susan. gang, it s the morning after. karen i start with you because the romney camp released a statement on the jobs report not wasting any time on this. saying if last night was the party this morning is the hangover. paul ryan also taking to taxpayer waves this morning on cnbc. take a look. this is not what president obama promised. i would argue this is the result of failed leadership in washington, bad fiscal policy coming from the administration and that s where we had this very tepid report. nbc s first read calls today s jobs report a win for romney and the gop. is anything over 8% bad news for the president with two more jobs reports left between now and election day? well, i know susan is going to say it s these jobs reports that will matter more than the speeches and actually i agree with that. here s the piece i think that this week the democratic party did a good job of making the

thank you. reporter: thank you. jenna: right now we ll head overseas and get the latest there in syria. we have new reports that iran is calling for the syrian government, their ally to sit down with talks with opposition groups, the same groups they have been fighting in the streets. meantime president assad has assigned a new prime minister to replace the one repd this week. while all this is happening, turkey is reporting that 50,000 syrians, 50,000, have crossed the border hoping to find refuge there in their country. leland vittert is live in jerusalem watching all of these developments. leland? reporter: hi, jenna. right now we not only have the humanitarian crisis on our hands but also appears though the rebels are really losing ground in the battle for aleppo. street-to-street fighting there, the rebels are running low on ammunition. the casualties are mounting and it appears nothing is sacred anymore. take a look at this video from earlier yesterday at a funeral.
