GEORGE WILL: Well, announcing expectations is all very well, but I'm not sure who is impressed by it. What we are seeing in Ukraine, what weave seen in Syria and what we will see again in Iran is a complete failure of what I think was the centerpiece of the president's foreign policy and that is the reset of the relations with Russia. They're not helpful with regard to Iran. They're positively pernicious in Syria. And Putin is obviously bolstering the government in Ukraine. The question then is what are we getting in is this completely sterile policy? I don't know what reset was supposed to mean but I know that I can’t see any evidence that it has helped.

Another Mediocre Jobs Report

by Keith Koffler on March 7, 2014, 8:52 am

The Labor Department this morning reported that the nation added 175,000 jobs in February, a middling number that will do nothing to address joblessness in the nation.

In fact, the unemployment rate in February rose to 6.7 percent from 6.6 percent in January.

The latest numbers put job increases at 129,000 jobs in January and only 84,000 in December, suggesting a trend of mediocre to poor job creation that continues.

Calls to former President George W. Bush demanding an apology for the pathetic shape of the job market were not returned.
