In St. Louis today, President Bush once again addressed the economy , contending that there is hope ahead. Sure enough, today's labor news was better than expected.  Last months, only 20,000 jobs were lost, as compared to the predicted 100,000.  James Politi is US economics and trade correspondent for London's Financial Times.
