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 fan will be hit with a gooey smelly mess and all I can say is OMAMA’S FAULT

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

[IamConservative]

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

Hope. Change.

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.

Headlines from MSM for February-2010:”Unemployment rate at 13%!BETTER than expected!

[Le Chien Rouge]

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

[The Sons of Liberty]

I’d like to see a breakdown of those people no longer counted as unemployed, because they have exhausted their benefits, and an in-depth study of whether they blame 0bama or not.

[Myrddin]

It sounds the the BLS hires the same kinds of "modelers" as we have observed in the "climate modelers". Spew whatever numbers the sitting administration wants disseminated by the media they own and control. Modeling is speculation. Actual revenue receipts are the genuine article. When people aren't working, they aren't paying taxes. Cut the crap. Report tax receipts as an indication of actual productive employment.

I hope everyone realizes it is the SUFFERING of the American people that will finally bring this WORST PRESIDENT IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES DOWN.
I know this is awful for the families, but this is the only way for the people to realize just how important it is to NEVER give Dums control of the American Republic.

[Cementjungle]

Headlines will be something like

"Unemployment shows dramatic improvement, at 13%, down significantly from an adjusted figure of 17% in 2009. Obama says the economy is finally starting to recover from Bush."
