Well, duh:

More than 2 million manufacturing jobs have been lost nationwide over the past three years. Administration officials knew that job creation would be the last part of an economic recovery to kick in, but they were taken aback by a Labor Department report last week showing that only 1,000 jobs were added to payrolls in December.

Maybe we'll get lucky and the president will realize that supply-side economics doesn't support workers.

Do you know how hard that was for me to write without bursting in laughter?
