Manufacturing jobs since president obama took office. if not for all the people who have simply dropped out of the labor force the real unemployment rate would be closer to 11%. jim, we had correct on air in a graphic by the way about manufacturing, i had it wrong on another sheet of paper. manufacturing jobs went down last month two months in a row. what is interesting there, jim, is there was a standard press release line every republican had that now goes away which is president obama had promised unemployment would be below 8%. they had to delete that. now we can adopt the line the obama administration used in 31 of the past 33 months. it s important to not read too much into one month s jobs report. in light of that we look at these numbers, some are part-time but how about the halloween costume stores? any time it goes down it s good news. the divergence between the household and the establishment a little weird. right. you know, one of those things you ll take good news an ....

2:00 p.m. today, just a few hours before the debate started. romney did his debate prep in denver. when you go to 5,000 feet exactly. and you only have a few hours to adjust that s interesting. i don t know. oh, boy. that was former vice president al gore with what you would call one of the more creative explanations for president obama s denver debate performance. let s bring back our panel. j jim, karen, and matt. what did you get out of that? i love this is not a time for politics. there s 30 days left before the election. everything is a time for politics. i get why he said it, absolutely, but, look, this is, i think, president obama needed something at the end of the week after what i think was not disastrous but certainly not a ....
Good debate performance. you said he had the worst week in washington. he looked i would say that s a little i said he looked unhappy. we ve been talking for the last couple days about all of the lies that romney told on the stage. come on, he might have had a good performance both candidates i disagree, both candidates obfuscate and frame it in the way they want it framed. barack obama s performance in that debate in my opinion was well below the standard that we ve come to expect. jim, the romney campaign, they vigorously say this is not fair, tax policy center is making assumptions that are not there. tell me your assumptions then. and then there s silence. i say you haven t given me any. you re upset they have made a strawman. then build your own. the line you often here, well, i m not going to negotiate with myself. you say if i m going do this precise deduction you open yourself up to this issue. it does. ....
