What bothers me the most is if BO is willing to brazenly manipuate these numbers, he is not above rigging voting machines to win the election. That *astard will do anything to oversee the destruction of this great country.

Well, a 4% change in one month would be a spectacular difference. The problem is, how do you explain all those hundreds of thousands of new jobs when the GDP was flat as a pancake? The economy is dead in the water but jobs are appearing out of nowhere by the hundreds of thousands. And the commissars want us to swallow this spew without questoning.

my guess is that they are coun tign folks liek school teachers, bus drivers, cafeteria workers etc etc etc as BOTH full time workers (countign htem once-) then again countign them because they are also ‘part time workers’ (becasuse they get the summer off and go back to work in the fall aroiund september)

It could also be because tens of thousands of part time workers get jobs to fill the need durign the halloween season (which now apparently runs all october)

There’s also the possiblitiy that hte govenrment ‘dismisses’ tens of thousands very briefly (without calling it a firing), then lets them back in and calls that ‘job gains’

There’s all kinds of sneaky underhanded chicago inspired ways to skew the numbers- and hte worst part is that even if the administration got caught red handed skewing the numbers in a brazen attempt to get obama reelected, he won’t suffer at all for it because the msm will never hold him accoutnable for it

Thanks. No wonder I had never heard of it. I hated physics class. ;-)

Yes, the last thing the liberals want is for people to know the truth. I wonder how many will look at their own situation, though, and see these numbers are bogus?

In our own family, we are much worse off than 4 years ago. We have one person making about 2/3 of what he was making, one who just now found a job in his field but not making much, and one who is working part-time and barely hanging on financially.

When I hear that Michelle often leaves on a separate plane just a few hours before Dear Leader and it costs us an extra $250,000, I am furious. She makes Marie Antoinette look like Mother Teresa.

If it’s not worth posting, it’s probably not worth reading. But thanks.
