FILE - In this Feb. 1, 2012 file photo, President Barack Obama speaks in Falls Church, Va. Month by month, the U.S. job market is regaining its health. According to reports Friday, Feb. 3, 2012, so many jobs are being added that the unemployment rate has dropped for five straight months. At 8.3 percent, it's at a three-year low. Whether the job market actually feels stronger, though, depends on your perspective. The presidential election is sure to be determined, in part, by how Americans interpret the shifts in the job market. Perhaps no one has more reason to cheer the improving job numbers than Obama. His re-election hopes rest heavily on whether most voters will agree that the economy has improved on his watch.

FILE - In this Nov. 6, 2011 file photo, Lucas Oil Stadium is seen during the first half of an NFL football game between the Indianapolis Colts and the Atlanta Falcons in Indianapolis. Indianapolis won’t ever be mistaken for Miami’s South Beach or New Orleans’ Bourbon Street, but visitors headed to the Circle City for the Super Bowl will find plenty of attractions, great restaurants and interesting taverns _ not to mention some uniquely Hoosier experiences. Indianapolis was once called Naptown and India-No-Place for a reason. For decades, there was no reason to stay downtown after dark. This week, as 150,000 visitors descend on a new, vibrant district before Super Bowl Sunday, even cynics agree that the city has successfully shed its image as a bastion of boredom in what was once called “flyover country.” The New England Patriots are scheduled to face the New York Giants in NFL football's Super Bowl XLVI on Sunday, Feb. 5, in Indianapolis.
