1 bad debate performance - 1 surging Rep opponent = 7.8% unemployment

crowd at a university full of future communist party members at the Kremlin of the Midwest.... also know as Madison, Wisconsin.

You forgot "heads full of mush" in your description of Obama's adoring crowd. They took everybody's phone number and email address before they got in. I imagine they'll be burning up the wireless channels getting out the vote before November. They'll make sure that every one of those kids is registered at least twice.

While the new unemployment numbers are subject to much disputation, it appears as if the Administration has decided to approach the integrity of the LIBOR calclations.
And no, there is no truth to the rumor that Bernie Madoff has been put on a work release program in order to assist the government in calculating the unemployment numbers.

.... you forgot to add with your comment....

That those "heads full of mush" will also be bombarded to give a few more $5 and $10 dollar bills of Mommy and Daddy's money right up until Election day to support Obozo in his desperate bid to save the socialist republic from that EVIL capitalist.

Disputation — showing a lack of respect for the Russian prime minister.

http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/329519/think-again-about-good-jobs-report-kevin-hassett

Today’s jobs report is a classic. The report, of course, reveals the results of two surveys, one of households, one of establishments. The professional economists and the press usually emphasize the establishment survey because it is viewed as less volatile. The establishment survey was terrible. The 114,000 number of jobs created on net in September is well below the average for this year (146,000) and the average for last year (153,000). This is wholly consistent with the story that the economy is decelerating sharply as we head into the fall.

The household survey, on the other hand, portrays a September that was booming, far more so than could possibly be true given the other indicators. According to it, the unemployment rate dropped to 7.8 percent, with total employment jumping by a whopping 873,000.

I told my husband we need to turn the racist label back on liberals:

Who thinks black children aren't capable of learning using the same methods as white children?

Who wants to keep high achieving and motivated black children locked into failing schools instead of giving them the chance to excel?

Who thinks a black teen isn't capable of getting into a college based on his grades?

Who thinks a black American can not possibly be hired unless "white men" step in?

Who dismisses the accomplishments of educated, successful black Americans if they don't vote democrat?

Who accepts that black democrats can speak perfect english while in their professional positions but turn into Southern Ghetto dwellers when they are in the midst of those they feel are incapable of understanding proper English?

Well that averages 228 jobs per State.....maybe they should rename it the “jobs lottery” since you have about the same chances of getting a job as winning the lotto!
