@panzade,
The NYT is perpetuating the myth that Obama will be blamed for the low jobs rates without understanding basic economics. The unemployment rate in the US looks pretty good compared to the rest of the world - including most of the Euro countries.
What that means in Econ 101 terms is that world demand for goods and service are depressed. No economy can grow when everybody else is suffering from low employment; the demand just isn't there.
Romney claims he can grow jobs, but he never bothers to explain how. That's because even China's economy is stagnant; their inventory is growing because world demand is down even for their low labor cost products.
The NYT article saying that Obama will be blamed just proves how ignorant they are about economics.
Instead, they should be explaining why unemployment is high and struggling - all over the world.
