All this NYT article is more proof that they are trying to cover for Obama.

Washington Times: Obama denies presiding over ‘bloated government’ / Data contradict assertion, show increase in federal employees

Excerpt:

After presiding over three consecutive years of trillion-dollar deficits, President Obama told an audience in New York on Tuesday not to believe critics who accuse him of running a “bloated government.”

“The only time government employment has gone down during a recession has been under me,” Mr. Obama said at a high-tech manufacturing center in Albany. “I make that point just so you don’t buy into that whole ‘bloated government’ argument that you hear.”

Actually, data compiled by the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that federal employment has risen under Mr. Obama. When he took office in January 2009, there were about 2,064,000 federal workers, excluding the Postal Service. Last month, there were 2,202,400 such federal employees, an increase of 6.7 percent.

Including postal workers, overall federal employment has risen from 2,792,000 to 2,821,000 since January 2009.

The only adhominem attack is coming from his own internal demons of envy and incarceration. Projection is obvious here. Same thing with calling us a right wing propaganda blog or what not.

The question is if he ever made a mistake, should he be incarcerated for ever?

Socialism and communism promote the permanent incarceration and enslavement of corporations, along with their collective of individuals, for assumed terminal wrongs, at the hands of thugs, punishing individual workers who have nothing to do with these crimes done at the top level.

It behooves to these retards to figure that maybe the CEOs who screw up at the top are part of the design with the government to incarcerate all of us and thus DE FACTO unlimit its size and amounts of abuse it can wages. The obvious micromanaging of government of our everyday lives is the same budget, in both $ and legal “barter” value of corruption.

This is the worst form of government ever. I hope he greases his a$$ well because it will not be fun for him when he is in volunteer government prison, because every one gets it... but those who volunteer for it will carry the shame and groveling self defilement on top of that.
