White House Attempts to Spin Bad Jobs Report

Even though unemployment rose to 9.1% for the month of May, the White House wants you to believe this is good news. According to Obama economic advisor Austan Goolsbee, the country’s job situation is actually getting better.

Today’s employment report shows that private sector payrolls increased by 83,000 [54,000 net] in May and the unemployment rate ticked up to 9.1 percent.

There are always bumps on the road to recovery, but the overall trajectory of the economy has improved dramatically over the past two years.

The monthly employment and unemployment numbers are volatile and employment estimates are subject to substantial revision. Therefore, as the Administration always stresses, it is important not to read too much into any one monthly report.

“.... it is important not to read too much into any one monthly report - unless it makes us look good.”

Lies, lies and more damn lies.

If a truth is ever spoken by anyone of the Obama administration, my heart will surely stop. Then, if I have any left, you may put pennies over my eyes.

I am so sick of the lies, lies and more damn lies.

The economy is great.

Anyone who says otherwise is a racist. You’re not a racist are you?

Without Obama, unemployment might have reached a peak of 9% last year before recovering quickly and fully. Thanks to Stimulus, TARP, QE, QE2, Cash-for-Clunkers, and ObamaCare, we're still above that level, and this Great Recession (Great Depression 2) is being described as the new normal. How do you spin that as good news and get any intelligent person to take you seriously? It's a good thing for them that they only have to deal with journalists.

Spin This:

Birth/Death Adjustment+ 206,000!

In other words +206,000 of those 54,000 jobs are virtual. or put another way -152,000 jobs created.

And......Jeremiah Wright is not a “Black Racist”, and....Michelle Obama does not hate America, and....Van Jones is not a “Black Racist” and communist to boot, and....POTUS Obama is not a Muslim, etc.,etc. Every month that the economy gets worse, Obama loves it. Why? It tears down America and “all” its people!!!!

And how many high school and college seniors entered the job-search in May? 9.1% is FAR too low.

Anything this commie bunch does to destroy this country is answered with an even more ominous and destructive solution. Their useful idiots believe he is really trying hard but Bush sunk everything so badly that Obama’s solutions will just take a little longer.

Nah.

Graduates won’t go into the market until the June job report. (Until it is “seasonally adjusted” to may the Obama jobs report in June go up anyway.)
