Canada didn't push for lower lending standards are hard as the US did, also Canada decreased the burden of government rather then increasing it, while also getting its fiscal situation in order. ----- mercatus.org hoover.org

Former Obama campaign co-chair to stump for Romney Posted by CNN Political Editor Paul Steinhauser (CNN) - A former four-term Democratic congressman from Alabama and one time strong supporter of President Barack Obama will campaign for Mitt Romney Wednesday. A Romney campaign aide confirms to CNN that Artur Davis will stump for the presumptive Republican presidential nominee in the battleground state of Virginia. Davis, who is black, may be best known for seconding Obama's nomination at the Democratic National Convention in 2008, when he served as an Obama campaign co-chairman. Davis said he had hoped Obama's presidency would make a huge dent in race relations, as well as move the Democratic Party further to the center. In 2010, Davis made an unsuccessful bid for governor of Alabama. In May he announced he was switching to the GOP, leaving the door open to a future political bid as a Republican. Davis said in June that he thinks his one time political party was becoming more unwelcoming towards Southern conservative Democrats. "I think the Obama administration has candidly gone too far to the left. You can raise all kinds of questions on whether that's good politics or not," Davis said on CNN's "The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer." "Obviously the election will determine that." The Romney campaign says Davis will team up with Virginia GOP Victory Chairman Pete Snyder and a local business owner at an event in Arlington

The number of first-time claims for unemployment benefits rose slightly last week, muddling the picture for the job market. About 366,000 people filed jobless claims in the week ended August 11, up 2,000 from the previous week, the Department of Labor said Thursday. Jobless claims are considered an indicator of layoffs, so an increase is typically seen as a discouraging sign. Still, 366,000 was better than economists had expected. The number has also been volatile lately, making it difficult to get a clear signal on the strength of the job market. For that reason, economists often prefer to look at an average over a four-week period, which was at its lowest level since March. "Claims so far in August have declined moderately compared to July, suggesting some improvement in the U.S. job environment. And that's good news," said Jennifer Lee, senior economist with BMO Capital Markets, in a note to clients.

About 12.8 million people remain unemployed, and of those, 3.3 million filed ongoing claims for unemployment benefits in the week ended August 4, the most recent data available.

“Well, I think if it came from somebody serious maybe we’d get all excited about it. But the – I think the vice president of the United States has become a laugh line on late night television. I mean, he – I’ve never seen a vice president that has made as many mistakes, said as many stupid things. I mean, there’s a real fear if, God forbid, he ever had to be entrusted with the presidency, whether he really has the mental capacity to handle it. I mean, this guy just isn’t bright. He’s never been bright. He isn’t bright. And people think, ‘Well, he just talks a little too much.’ Actually he’s just not very smart.” Video...
