After all the hoopla and speeches and as President Obama’s supporters are leaving the party in Charlotte – the facts are obvious in today’s Jobs Report – 96,000 jobs created in August and July’s numbers revised downwards.

Meanwhile, nearly 30 jobs bills sit stalled in the Senate. Read the AP story by clicking (here).
