Reuters – The United States created jobs at the fastest pace in nine months in January and the unemployment rate unexpectedly dropped to a near three-year low, giving a boost to President Barack Obama.

Jobless rate at 3-year low as payrolls surge
(Reuters)

At First Street Journal , ” The Economy Grew 2.8% For the 4th quarter, 1.7% Overall in 2011 .” And at Chicago Sun-Times , ” Economic growth not enough to sharply reduce unemployment .”

More bad news for Obama from the LA Times : Updated numbers for the national debt are just out: It’s now $14,639,000,000,000. When Barack Obama took the oath of office twice on Jan. 20, 2009, CBS’ amazing number cruncher Mark Knoller reports, the national debt was $10,626,000,000,000. That means the debt that our federal government owes a whole lot of somebodies including China has increased $4,247,000,000,000 in just 945 days. That’s the fastest increase under any president ever. Sigh.
