Au moment où un sondage donne Mitt Romney gagnant dans une éventuelle confrontation avec le Président Obama, le NY Times publie ce matin un article intéressant. Mitt Romney ferait un bon candidat, mais je suis toujours convaincu que "l'épreuve de la campagne" serait très dure pour lui. Outre des boulets qu'il traîne (comme sa réforme de la santé au Mass.), il affrontera une "bête" de campagne qui peut compter sur une redoutable équipe.
Voici donc un extrait de l'article du NY Times:
"Seventeen months before the next election, it is increasingly clear that President Obama must defy that trend to keep his job.
Roughly 9 percent of Americans who want to go to work cannot find an employer. Companies are firing fewer people, but hiring remains anemic. And the vast majority of economic forecasters, including the president’s own advisers, predict only modest progress by November 2012.
The latest job numbers, due Friday, are expected to provide new cause for concern. Other indicators suggest the pace of growth is flagging. Weak manufacturing data, a gloomy reading on jobs in advance of Friday’s report and a drop in auto sales led the markets to their worst close since August, and those declines carried over into Asia Thursday.
But the grim reality of widespread unemployment is drawing little response from Washington. The Federal Reserve says it is all but tapped out. There is even less reason to expect Congressional action. Both Democrats and Republicans see clear steps to create jobs, but they are trying to walk in opposite directions and are making little progress.
Republicans have set the terms of debate by pressing for large cuts in federal spending, which they say will encourage private investment. Democrats have found themselves battling to minimize and postpone such cuts, which they fear will cause new job losses.
House Republicans told the president that they would not support new spending to spur growth during a meeting at the White House on Wednesday."
