While the Republicans ranted...

Nathan Newman offered a link to the ajusted jobless claims for 8/28 (up 19,000 to 362,000) and a link to the August retail sales figures (weakest since March 2003), while Atrios serves up this link to the August job numbers, where we learn that
U.S. employers added 144,000 workers to payrolls in August, the most since May and the first acceleration in five months, suggesting the economy is emerging from a midyear lull.....

...Economists such as Ethan Harris at Lehman Brothers Inc. in New York, say the economy needs to create about 150,000 jobs a month to absorb a growing workforce...
Is it just me, or do all these links seem to be adding up to a heavy chain for Bush to be hauling around as he heads toward the electoral finish line?
