AND THE KOOLAID DRINKERS ARE GONNA GUZZLE THIS STUFF DOWN! Ugh! Why does our GOVERNMENT report stuff like unemployment, CBO bill analysis or other economic metrics with such WRONG methods? Can't stand it! How about reporting on REAL unemployment MSM? Oh, that's right. Then you:

A) Wouldn't be helping your Democrat masters.
B) May look like you are actually doing some investigative journalism.

Jobless rate drops to lowest in almost 3 years

I predict it will be 5% by election day.

What a scam. When you no longer count the millions that have quit looking of course the number will drop. DUH! So by their formula if you destroy ALL jobs and everyone gives up looking then the unemployment rate is zero?

The fact that even Fox News runs with this as if it's accurate is sickening. At least they will sometimes stumble across the truth.

Hermann Goebbels would be proud of the propaganda machine run by this administration. Tell me his quote doesn't fit Obama and the Dems:

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”. Quote from Hermann Goebbels

If Dear Leader instructs his Labor Dept. employee to cook the books, the books will be cooked. (It’s good to be King, y’know.)

The January report for December reflected seasonal part-time employees for Christmas so it would make sense that numbers would be a little high then. But those seasonal jobs went away in January, so there’s no way today’s report is accurate.

I was surprised that S. Varney was all excited about the (alleged) good news; sounds like Fox News is buying the lie.

This is like Obama commenting to that lady that her husband should NOT be having trouble finding a job in his industry. Sounds a lot like how the German Officers just couldn’t bring themselves to telling Hitler what was REALLY going on on the battlefield. German troops were getting annihilated and they told him that he was winning.

The economy is in the toilet and his “handlers” are telling him that everything is rosy.

Jobless rate drops to lowest in almost 3 years . . . The nation’s unemployment rate fell to 8.3 percent in January from 8.5 percent in the prior month.

We had a population of 305 million when Obama took office, with 133.6 million jobs (BLS total non-farm employment), or 43.8% of the population employed.

We now have a population of 313 million with 130.3 million jobs, or 41.6% of the population employed.

Obama has cost us 3.3 million jobs, while maintaining the same employment rate would have required adding 3.5 million jobs to keep up with population growth. The number of additional Americans who have no job because of the administration's economic mismanagement is about 6.8 million. I wonder how many of them will vote for Obama one more time.

Those that do not know history are doomed to repeat it. The Democrats, Obma, et al, forget the “Reagan Democrats”; Democrats that got tired of being out of work, having high prices and interest rates, and being told by Democrats like Carter that all was well.

Yea, yea...the Obama administration cooking numbers to make it look like things are better. People out in flyover land know better.

These numbers, as they have consistantly been, will be revised to the negative next week or two...and will get no press notice when they are.

The CBO projects unemployment will rise, hitting 8.8 percent in the third quarter of the year, the heart of the campaign.

******

The bombshell CBO report and why Obama should be worried
Hot Air ^ | February 2, 2012 | Ed Morrissey

Today, Politico’s Jim VandeHei reports that economic indicators should have Barack Obama worried about his re-election prospects, not more sanguine. VandeHei relies heavily on this week’s economic and deficit projections from the CBO, but perhaps not heavily enough:

A new CBO report grabbed lots of headlines for projecting the deficit will top $1 trillion this year — making Obama the first president ever to pile up $1 trillion or more every year in office. That’s not great politics. But it’s not even the worst news contained in the CBO report. The unemployment number is.

The CBO projects unemployment will rise, hitting 8.8 percent in the third quarter of the year, the heart of the campaign. That’s terrible politics. Obama advisers have told us repeatedly on background that if unemployment is above 8.5 percent in the final months of the campaign, it will be extremely hard, if not impossible, to win. The advisers say independents will not return to Obama if it looks like economic growth is anemic and uncertain and it looks like his policies did little, if anything, to create new jobs under his watch.

Economists seem divided on the question of whether robust enough economic and job growth can happen in time for Obama to benefit. Some see signs of possibility in holiday sales and consumer spending in some parts of the country. Others see more of the same: a slow slog back. The CBO sees 2.2 percent growth in the quarter ending in September, essentially the same sluggish pace of a year earlier.

“The nation has about 5.6 million fewer jobs than it did when the recession began in late 2007.”

This says it all. These are jobs that will never return to the US and the people that occupied them have already long exhausted their unemployment benefits so they are counted anymore.

These numbers put out by the Labor Dept are nothing but another Government agency trying to help Obama.

And what does Boehner say? Essentially nothing but “we could do better”...no mention of employment participation rate being LOWEST!!!

Boehner is essentially a useful idiot for Soros/Obama.
