As Politico says, this has been the toughest week for Obama yet. The Daschle withdrawl (which I’m glad to see) will be discussed endlessly for the next 68 hours or so. And we’ll see another two days of approving coverage of the McCain-Wurzelbacher anti-stimulus jihad.
But Friday morning, there’s going to be a very scary jobs report. Some predict unemployment will hit 8%. A seven figure loss of jobs is not out of the question.
It will be interesting to see what they make of this on Morning Ho. I predict at least a five minute interruption in their analysis of Obama’s supposed comments on Jessica Simpson.
Am I being too optimistic?
Update: My economics guru predicts only 700K job losses, mostly because there’s really only three weeks of firing to be done in January (the first week is vacation). Here’s his full analysis after the break, if anyone is interested.
