TREASON: Mitt & Co. look at strong jobs figures as a "setback."

With several polls showing Romney bouncing back nationally, his aides contend they are well equipped to keep the race close until Election Day. The polls show increasing Republican enthusiasm, which is driving Boston’s optimism. Romney aides hope they can then conjure that into momentum going into next week’s second debate, despite the setback of last week’s strong jobs figures, which helped Obama get off the mat.

Yet, it seems that despite that, the economy is fighting back. Wish the people would know about the GOP treason these past few years.
