The timing is suspicious.

Two years ago, Rush predicted a magical drop in unemployment below 8 percent just before the election.

Does anyone have the figure yet on how many people dropped out of the labor market last month? Still haven’t seen that number yet. Something is fishy.

Rick Santelli predicted exactly the same thing.

“The timing is suspicious.”

That is why it is called an “October Surprize.”

Politico are as good as paid advisors to Obama...heck Katy Couric gets her news there, she said so.

I guess that was her source for the CBS evening news

Of course it has been manipulated, and it's curious that there's no mention of how many people have given up looking. My guess...We got to 7.8 because people have dropped out. Under Obama we could theoretically get to 0% while people are either flipping burgers or sitting at home waiting for a true recovery.

Where’s the corresponding dip in unemployment compensation claims? That may come out in a special release before November 6 by the ends-justify-the-means gang.

A mention was just made on FNC that hiring of Federal Government employees took a big jump this month. That’s all they said. I wish they had said more. This is a little suspicious.

Watch for a dip in gasoline prices before Nov. 6th. Obama is colluding with the Saudis to bring that off.

For some reason I’m thinking gas prices will also drop between now and Nov.

I don’t know why, I just got a feeling.............

We all predicted it, really. It’s just more abuse of power.

The numbers are crap. Lots of self employed people never showed up on unemployment rolls and have simply fallen into pure odd jobs survival mode and many of them have been forced to accept food stamps.

The sellers at the local farmer’s market say they can spot them because they’re bargain shoppers. They say some are even offering to do farm work under the table.

If there has been any job growth at all, it occured in Republican run states, inspite of anything Obama may have done! That should be the GOP response!
