No, really!

Another call for the liberal press (or all the REAL press, you know, not FOX), to grow a spine.
Obama was right - THE PRIVATE SECTOR IS DOING FINE.
Those people in the GOP ad are NOT the private sector. Otherwise, we wouldn't talk about people getting jobs 'in the private sector' or 'in the public sector'. We don't get jobs in ourselves.
The sectors are the institutions. Private institutions are very profitable these days and have oodles of money they are not spending.
Public institutions, on the other hand are shedding jobs like dog hair in the summer.
The jobs numbers we see are the NET jobs. The private sector is creating more jobs than the total, but the public sector job losses have to be subtracted.
So yes, Mr. Romney, we need more police, firefighters, teachers - and safety inspectors, doctors, nurses, public utility employees, etc, etc. How is cutting those jobs helping the American people?!?!?!?!?
And yes, Mr. Romney, the federal government DOES pay for those jobs (Honestly, could he GET any more uninformed?) They send money to states that can't meet their obligations, so these people can get hired, or at least not fired.
Somebody in media needs to stand up to the GOP scare tactics.
I guess that somebody is me.
