Gingrich on Jobs Data: ‘I Haven’t Seen Them Yet’

By Danny Yadron
LAS VEGAS — At least one Republican presidential candidate is not trying to frame Friday’s better-than-expected unemployment report as a failure of President Barack Obama.

When reporters here asked Newt Gingrich for comment on the jobs numbers as he shook hands with voters at a mostly empty saloon, the former House speaker replied, “No, I haven’t seen them yet.”

Evidently, Newt spent the morning on the moon.

Newt: 'If It Makes You Happy,' Give Obama Some Credit For Positive Jobs Report

Newt Gingrich, pressed by CNN's Wolf Blitzer on whether President Obama deserves some credit for the positive economic news Friday, said: "Give him some credit. If it makes you happy, give him some credit."
