Obama administration repeats same jobs line—for the 30th month

By Chris Moody, Yahoo! News | The Ticket 

When the Bureau of Labor Statistics announced the nation's latest national employment figures Friday, the Obama administration stressed that people should not "read too much" into the data.

Mitt Romney's campaign pounced, and flagged the fact that the White House has repeated that same line nearly every month since November 2009.

See below for the roundup of articles from WhiteHouse.gov that Romney's campaign posted on its site. In many of the posts, the authors for the administration do acknowledge that they repeat themselves:

Is he afraid to try anything new or just cannot see the huge forrest fire behind the trees?

[asfriend]

He is a socialist, he only knows one path

Quoting erika9009:

The lack of all those jobs he promised makes it easy and they don't have to change the teleprompter that way. Saves money so he and michelle can go on all those expensive vacations out of country that we pay for.  Ya, what a waste of my money.

That line is kind of like saying, "Keep moving. Nothing to see here.  Keep moving."

[imamomzilla]

 Didn't he JUST give a speech where he said "We tried that...and it didn't work". His policies are an utter failure.

It's like the movie Groundhog Day.
