PALIN from page 3 The head of a prominent Granite State conservative think tank, also a tea party ally, says there is a growing sense of indifference among local conservatives. “If she had done it right she could be popular here,” said Kevin Smith, executive director of Cornerstone. “But I don’t feel a lot of energy or enthusiasm here about a Palin run. Voters here in this state, who frankly have been taking this primary seriously since the beginning of the year, are indifferent.” That said, she drew hundreds of supporters to Monday afternoon’s rally. And she was interrupted
once with chants of, “Run, Sarah, run.” “I appreciate your encouragement, I do,” she said, offering no more insight into her presidential ambitions. The Republican presidential candidates, however, have much riding on a Palin candidacy, as she could dramatically change the dynamic of the race. Operatives here think a Palin bid would eat into Texas Gov. Rick Perry’s support and therefore help Romney. Speaking at another Manchester event Monday morning, Romney welcomed Palin to the race. “There’s always room for governor Palin,” he said.
OBAMA from page 3 the unemployed. Some Republicans oppose extending the payroll tax cut, calling it an unproven job creator that will only add to the nation’s massive debt. The tax cut extension is set to expire Jan. 1. Republicans also cite huge federal budget deficits in expressing opposition to vast new spending on jobs programs. But Obama said lawmakers need to act — and act quickly. “The time for Washington games is over. The time for action is now,” he told a supportive union crowd that Detroit police said was in the thousands. The event at a General Motors Corp. parking lot in the shadow of the automaker’s headquarters building had the sound and feel of a campaign event, with the union audience breaking into chants of “Four More Years” throughout the president’s 25-minute speech. Obama could be including himself in that call for action. His remarks came as he’s facing biting criti-
cism from the GOP for presiding over a persistently weak economy and high unemployment. Republicans dubbed him “President Zero” after a dismal jobs report last Friday showed that employers added no jobs in August — which hasn’t happened since 1945. The unemployment rate, meanwhile, remained unchanged at 9.1 percent. The report sparked new fears of a second recession and injected fresh urgency into Obama’s efforts to help get the unemployed back into the labor market — and improve his re-election chances. No incumbent in recent times has been re-elected with a jobless rate that high, and polls show the public is losing confidence in Obama’s handling of the economy. His approval rating on that issue dropped to a new low of 26 percent in a recent Gallup survey. GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney said the report was disappointing, unacceptable and “further proof that President Obama has failed.” Romney is scheduled to get ahead of Obama by outlining his job-creation plan in a speech Tuesday in Nevada, two days before the president addresses Congress. Tax credits for businesses that hire and spending on school construction and renovation also are expected to be part of Obama’s proposal.
