At 11:25, Obama is likely to talk about the Jan. jobs report, due out Feb. 3. If it's positive, it would be 23 consecutive months of job growth. Unemployment is expected to stay at 8.5%. Meanwhile, a lot of positive economic signs, including the lowest unemployment claims since June of 08. As Romney told Laura Ingraham, recovery always follows recessions. Because Mitt wants to be president, he doesn't say that we experienced the worst recession in our history and that since Obama's policies have kicked in, the economy is getting better. What no one wants to admit is Obama isn't magical. He can't turn around an entire economy. No one can do that. It heals on its own. But if you put fingers in your ears to silence the republican propaganda, Obama's done a pretty good job.
