BULLETIN - "Statement by the President on Syria :": "Thirty years after his father massacred tens of thousands of innocent Syrian men, women, and children in Hama, Bashar al-Assad has demonstrated a similar disdain for human life and dignity. Yesterday the Syrian government murdered hundreds of Syrian citizens, including women and children, in Homs through shelling and other indiscriminate violence ... I strongly condemn the Syrian government's unspeakable assault against the people of Homs ... Assad must halt his campaign of killing and crimes against his own people now. He must step aside and allow a democratic transition to proceed immediately. ... The suffering citizens of Syria must know: we are with you, and the Assad regime must come to an end."

--AFP/Damascus: "Syrian forces shell the city of Homs, killing more than 200 people in a 'horrific massacre,' activists say, as Russia says it will press President Bashar al-Assad for a political solution to the nearly 11-month-old crisis."

BREAKING - L.A. Times, "Catholic Church vows a battle: Angry U.S. bishops say they'll challenge the White House edict on contraceptives," by Mitchell Landsberg: "The Catholic Church reacted strongly Friday to a White House defense of new rules that will force many religious employers to provide contraception to their workers in government-mandated health insurance plans. 'The White House information about this is a combination of misleading and wrong,' said Anthony Picarello, general counsel of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. He said the bishops would 'pursue every legal mandate available to them to bring an end to this mandate.

GAME CHANGE? WSJ 5-col. lead, "Jobs Power Market Rebound : Unemployment Dips to 8.3 on Broad Gains ... Dow Highest Since May 2008," by E.S. Browning: "News of strong job growth, a three-year low in unemployment and other positive developments Friday pushed the Dow ahead 156.82 points, or 1.23%, to 12862.23 ... The blue-chip index would have to rise just 10% to reach its record close of 14164.53, hit Oct. 9, 2007. ... The Dow's surge is a sign of the extent to which investors have put aside the global fears that gripped them last summer. ... Since Lehman collapsed in September 2008, stocks have often been driven by raw fear of financial meltdown rather than by economic fundamentals."

--N.Y. Times 2-col. lead, "Jobless Rate Falls to 8.3%, Altering Face of Campaign: President Gets New Hope on Crucial Issue, but Romney Must Weigh Strategies" ... WashPost 2-col. lead, "Surprise gains in employment shift landscape: U.S. ADDS OVER 200,000 JOBS IN JANUARY -- Markets surge as economists rethink outlooks" ... L.A. Times 1-col. lead: "Jobs report may be turning point."

IF YOU READ ONLY ONE THING -- WSJ A5, "Jobless Figures Cut Two Ways for Obama: Trend Line Looks Like Reagan's, but Without More Improvements This Year, It Could Wind Up Closer to the Elder Bush's.," by Janet Hook and Jon Hilsenrath: "The unemployment rate dropped to 8.3% in January, not far from where it was at the same point in Mr. Reagan's first term, when it was 8.0%. And under both Mr. Obama and Mr. Reagan, joblessness was heading down. But the key for Mr. Reagan was that unemployment kept falling through his re-election campaign. By his first term's end, it had dropped to 7.3%-below where it was when he was inaugurated. ... Economists generally don't expect such rapid job growth this year. The Federal Reserve expects unemployment to be stuck between 8.2% and 8.5%. That would be higher than the 7.8% rate in January 2009, when Mr. Obama took office. ...

"Under Mr. Reagan, the economy enjoyed many months of superfast growth. From April 1983 until June 1984, ... the economy grew at an annual rate of more than 8%. ... Last year, ... the economy expanded a meager 1.6%. ... A more ominous comparison for Mr. Obama is Mr. Bush's failed re-election bid in 1992. The economy was improving during Mr. Bush's final year in office, but not enough for him to win. Economic output, for example, rose at an annual rate of more than 4% during his re-election campaign. The unemployment rate was falling by November 1992, but at 7.4% it w
