Rush was correct. The regime found a way to get to drop it to 7.8 right before the election. They did 7.8 because 7.9 would look too suspicious. That’s a .4 swing in a month. That’s the biggest swing in the last 40 months.

I smell a rat—a big Kenyan rat out of Chicago.

These numbers will be revised up to 8.2 percent next month. But then it will be too late. Mission accomplished.

Of course it will be revised UPWARD - but only the week after the election. Only a fool just off the turnip truck could not have guessed that the employment rate would be below 8% before the election.

As the saying goes, “Figures don’t lie but liars figure!”

All the top of the hour newscasts will breathlessly shout out the GREAT news that the unemployment number has dropped because of the wise direction of our great and humble leader.

I hope the announcers have taken their tranquilizers so they don't hyperventilate from all the excitement.

The LIV (low information voter) will not take the time nor will he have access to the revealing deep-dive on any of these numbers (lsm not willing to tell the truth).

God save the Republic!

A crock of Chicago Crap is what it is. Just watch him start in on it now today with narrative. “Its getting better! Slow, long way to go, were are getting there, be patient, I inherited a big mess. They planned this from several years back. If many people buy this, (many) Americans are more stupid nowadays than I thought they were.

Policy wonk Paul Ryan can tear these numbers apart when he debates Biden.

It would be be bad to get this number the Friday before the election; no time to dig in and find the facts then.

Plenty of time to dive in and get the real story now.

Behold, the October Surprise. And it is nothing but manipulated numbers. There is no way true unemployment numbers are coming down.

I work for a multi-national company, and they are looking for every cut they can find to brace for Taxmageddon.

Ignore the polls. Ignore unemployment rate numbers, whether they are over 8% or under 8%. People in the real world know whether the economies in their areas are good or bad, improving or deteriorating.

Pick your favorite candidates, support them and vote for them. That is what you should do and if you do that, you have done your part.

God will have a hand in this election. His will shall be revealed soon enough. When you do your part and God reveals His will, all will turn out just exactly as it should.

Trust God.

Don’t forget, Frank Raines cooked the books at Fannie for 5 years and he’s on Obama’s economic advisory team. I think Johnson from Freddie is there also, but he may have left by now.

gee what are the odds?

These clowns are absurd...just absurd. They have to believe that Americans are stupid. Romney and Ryan better skew these assholes over this.

You know what? Actually I like this outright lie at this moment.

Now’s the time we get to know if the media has decided to go down with Obama and his gang all the way down.

Or if some of them start to push back, ‘speak truth to power’. Obama as the THE MAN, of course.
