Watch what happens when the disappointing Christmas retail sales and ending of seasonal employment figures come in. It’s going to be a very cold Feb. for 0bama.

The Labor Department doesn’t have to make any “benchmark revision”. They been lying all this year, so why stop?

From the explanation, the jobs never existed and were only guessed at. If they lop off non-existent jobs, why the fuss?

Early in 2010 the Labor Department will subtract about 824,000 jobs from its official count in what is called a "benchmark revision" to more accurately reflect the jobs that weren't created this past spring.

I bet they sell the 824,000 revisions to the warmers so they can add them into the climate data! /s

If we enter a serious double-dip recession, Obama will call for emergency powers. I think it’s been the plan all along, and Feb. seems as good a time as any.

No matter how bad the unemployment numbers are:

1) President Obama will blame GW Bush
2) the media will attack Sarah Palin.
3) Hollywood Oscar talk will be in full frenzy
4) American Idol will be on
5) Super Bowl hype everywhere

I love this conutry but fear that these crooks will do one of two things: 1.) rig everything to support Obummers lying, (more bread and circus) or 2.) use the horrible numbers to enact emergency powers. Unfortunately i see #2 as the likely outcome, enforced by your friendly neighborhood SEIU and ACORN brown shirts. I hope everyone has their freeze dried food and plenty of ammo on hand, esepcially near the major Amish population centers
