President Obama's team slams critics of new unemployment statistics as 'lunatics'
New York Daily News ^ | 10/06/12 | Tracy Connor

President Obama’s advisers attacked critics for suggesting the White House fudged jobs figures, comparing them to “lunatic” birthers. The sub-8% unemployment stats were released by the non-partisan Bureau of Labor Statistics Friday, but former GE chief Jack Welch and several Tea Party figures claimed the numbers were cooked. Obama campaign senior adviser Robert Gibbs called such comments “incredibly dangerous” and said Welch had embarrassed himself. “There's a number of people that believe the real unemployment report is somewhere in a safe in Nairobi with the president's Kenyan birth certificate," Gibbs said sarcastically on NBC’s “Meet the Press” Sunday.

Sorry morons. That simplistic and moronic approach you learned from Alinsky only works until people have seen it a few times. Then it's just another tired old moronic leftism. But then, I repeat myself.

Clearly all the inhabitants of Connecticut are lunatics. The results of the WTIC CBS Poll prove it beyond a doubt:

Question: "According To The U.S. Department Of Labor, The Unemployment Rate Dropped To 7.8 Percent In September. Is This A True Reading Of The Jobs Picture?"

Yes. There's A Recovery Underway 0.95%
No. Someone's "Cooking The Books" 99.05%

Yet when Obama lackey Austin Goolsby questioned Bush’s unemployment figures prior to the 2004 election, it was justified.

Romney needs to send a back channel message to the nose pickers at BLS that there are plenty of cells available at the Federal Penitentiary in Bloody Butte, Montana for felon data fudgers after he wins the Presidency.

The next report would probably then hew closer to the truth.

I’m reminded of the touch screen at Ball Memorial hospital admitting:

No thank you!

Anybody who dabbles in those new-fangled fads and parlor tricks known as “Logic” or “Mathematics” is automatically both dangerous and a lunatic.

And no fair looking back in history and trying to compare what is going on now with what happened then. There is obviously NO precedent that can adequately report the situation as it stands today.

Al Gore described the new methodology just about perfectly when he made his “what’s up should be down, and what’s down should be up” speech back in the 1992 campaign.

It is only necessary to reformulate the facts to fit the new paradigm.

Obama Campaign Adviser David Axelrod: Mentored By Marxists

The next time you see David Axelrod on TV or listen to him on a radio talk show defending Obama, remember who he is – and why he’s a clear and present danger to our freedoms.

Obama adviser Axelrod grew up in a home with a mother who worked for PM – a paper used by Stalinists in New York to push the political agenda of the U.S.S.R.

In the mid-1970s, Axelrod was noticed by David Canter and Don Rose. Canter’s father was a lifelong Communist who was invited to visit the Soviet Union in 1932.

Rose was a member of the National Mobilization Committee to End the War in Vietnam – a Communist front group – and worked for the Students for a Democratic Society – another Communist organization.

Canter and Rose mentored Axelrod to become a ruthless political operative – but they first helped him become a political writer for the Chicago Tribune – a move that launched his career.

Axelrod has since become an unprincipled political hatchet man who has a well-known reputation for being “ferocious,” and who uses “venom” to attack his political opponents. Others have described him as using “brass knuckles” to “bludgeon” his foes. After all, it’s the Chicago Way of politics.  

When Obama ran for the Senate in 2004, Axelrod served as his chief advisor. Obama brags that he and Axelrod “share a basic worldview.” Axelrod agrees: “He’s not just a client. He’s a very good friend of mine. We share a worldview.”

Lots of Saul Alinsky tactics coming out of the 0bama regime lately, namely ‘Accuse the opposition of that which you are guilty of’.

If Lunitic means one who has far, far more talent with math than an Obamaloon clown, guess that’s what I am.

You would think the asshole would be a little more sensitive with his accusations, instead he is nothing but a THUG!

This report is Obama's 'miracle of the loaves and fishes'.

Robert Coleman Gibbs, worked in the Auburn University library system and involved their son in politics at an early age. Nancy Gibbs would take Robert, then known as “Bobby,” to local League of Women Voters meetings rather than hire a babysitter, and involved him in “voter re-identification” work at the county courthouse.

Gibbs is a political whore...

Early in the 2004 presidential campaign, Gibbs was the press secretary of Democratic candidate Senator John Kerry. On November 11, 2003, Gibbs resigned “in reaction to the firing of Jim Jordan, abruptly let go by Kerry Sunday night.” Gibbs was replaced by Stephanie Cutter, a former spokeswoman for Ted Kennedy. After leaving the Kerry campaign, Gibbs became spokesman for a 527 political group formed to stop the 2004 presidential campaign of Howard Dean which launched attack ads against Dean. Gibbs was criticized in February 2007, during the Obama Presidential campaign, by some left leaning bloggers.

The appointment of Gibbs by Obama to the post of communications chief was met with mild controversy by some critics in the Democratic National Committee, who cited Gibbs’ role in the aggressive campaign tactics used to block the nomination of Howard Dean in the 2004 race. Obama, however, referred to Gibbs as his “one-person Southern focus group”

In an interview with The Hill, Gibbs derided the “professional left” and “liberals,” who “wouldn’t be satisfied if Dennis Kucinich was president.” He said that people who compare Obama’s policies to George W. Bush’s “ought to be drug tested.”

Another nice try Booby. Alinsky would be proud.

The latest BLS unemployment stats are obviously manipulated, inaccurate, and can’t hold up under logical analysis. By equating criticism about these stats with skepticism about Obama’s birth narrative, Robert Gibbs reveals, yet again, that he knows the birth story is somehow bogus. Both serve his cause as the “noble truth” (i.e., a lie told for the greater good). Professional liars need to be sharper than this.

Even Bob Woodward, of Watergate fame, was on TV questioning the jobs report. He said that all administrations massage the statistics in their favor, but that the real problem with Obama is that he has no plan to any real solution, no way forward.

Heh, heh, isn’t Obama’s campaign slogan, “Forward?” The slogan should be, “No way Forward.” “Get used to it”
