Virginia News Headlines: Saturday Morning

by: lowkell

Sat Oct 06, 2012 at 07:09:43 AM EDT


Here are a few Virginia news headlines, political and otherwise, for Saturday, October 6. Also check out President Obama's weekly address, in which he argues that "Congress should act to keep our nation moving forward by keeping taxes low for 98 percent of Americans, cutting red tape so responsible homeowners can save about $3,000 a year on their mortgage by refinancing at lower rates, and creating a veterans jobs corps to help our returning heroes find work."

*Jobless rate nears 4-year low (No thanks whatsoever to Republican obstructionists!)
*Jobless number costs Romney a key argument
*In Virginia stops, Obama and Romney differ on jobs report
(What's really misleading is that Romney overlooks the fact that his own party was in power when the recession began, and his own party has done everything in its power to prevent action on the situation since President Obama took office.)
*An economy on the move ("Jobs report gives Mr. Obama reason to crow.")
*The unemployment truthers are not helping Romney
*Jobs News Makes Obama's Case Easier
*Santorum endorses Allen, environmentalists back Kaine
*Rasmussen: Virginia senate race now leans Democrat
*Eric Cantor: 7.8 percent 'simply isn't good enough' (He's right that it isn't good enough, so why won't his party pass a jobs bill that independent analysts say would significantly lower the unemployment rate?!?)
*Energized Obama touts new jobs report in Virginia, Ohio
*Cuccinelli says VPA should steer port bids
*A last hurrah for the last residents of a 100-year-old Va. Beach community
*Metro ordered to display pro-Israel ads that it worried might incite violence
*D.C. area forecast: Strong cold front to end mild streak; cold and wet Sunday
*Amid controversy, Cardinals advance to face Nats
