JACK WELCH REFUSES TO BACK DOWN ON UNEMPLOYMENT NUMBERS IN FIERY EXCHANGE WITH CHRIS MATTHEWS

[plain talk]

I agree with Welch but this “cook the books” stuff is a side issue. Important but a side issue until further investigation & facts are available to nail whoever is responsible and prosecute. That will come later.

But even if the rate IS 7.8% - so what? It is an unacceptable unemployment rate. I would like to see the average unemployment rate for the last four years - probably closer to 9%.

The real story is that liberals think 7.8% is a good acceptable unemployment rate worthy of rehiring Obama.

Romney needs to pound the O-fraud every day, but this is a good start and a good sign.

We are now down by more than 10 MILLION jobs. Conservative estimates say that we need a steady creation of 150,000 jobs every month for 6.5 years just to get back to the 5.6% level of unemployment we saw in 2007.

Mitt Romney has set his goal at creating 12 MILLION in he first term. That's what we need to bring our GDP back in line and get tax revenues up to stop the bleeding on interest and debt.

I think Matthews and Ubama want some “Down Low” time together.

Well stated.
