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

Posted on 10/07/2012 1:17:38 PM PDT by Nachum

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.

Here's the thing, read THIS AEI report

It starts with the premise that the numbers are real (or at least accurate from what they looked at, and that they weren't fudged after the data was gathered), then shows pretty conclusively that we should all wish they HAD been cooked.

...senior adviser David Axelrod compared Welch and company to right-wingers who believe Obama was not born in the U.S...."They can join the lunatic fringe of birthers” ...calling the conspiracy theory “completely nuts.”

Who is David Axelrod? Here's a snippet of a Breitbart interview with Paul Klengor, author of "The Communist," last August 8:

Kengor: Axelrod was a native New Yorker who came to Chicago in the 1970s for college. He stayed there and began his career as a political reporter, specifically at a small publication called the Hyde Park Herald. He caught the eye of two leftists, David Canter and Don Rose, who became his mentors. He was constantly at the Canter home.

The Canter family had deep Soviet/communist roots. Before arriving in Chicago, David Canter and his family lived in Moscow. David’s father, Harry Canter, worked for Stalin’s government as an official translator of Lenin’s writings. Harry had been secretary of the Boston Communist Party and ran for governor of Massachusetts on the Communist Party ticket. He was hardcore.

When they got to Chicago, they worked with Frank Marshall Davis in a bunch of ways: Harry and Frank taught together at the communist Abraham Lincoln School. Harry and David and Frank all did work for the Packinghouse Workers Union. They marched in Chicago’s May Day parades. In fact, Harry is listed in the April 28, 1947 edition of Davis’s Chicago Star—the Communist Party newspaper of Chicago, for which Davis was the founding editor-in-chief—wishing “May Day Greetings.” When Davis and his comrades sold the Chicago Star to something called the “Progressive Publishing Company” in September 1948, Harry was one of the board members doing the purchase.

[The Connections Summary} Obama was mentored by Frank Marshall Davis. Davis worked with the Canter family, who mentored David Axelrod. Davis also worked with Vernon Jarrett and Robert Taylor, father-in-law and grandfather to Valerie Jarrett. They all served together in Chicago’s Communist Party circles in the 1940s.

...this doesn’t mean that Obama and Jarrett and Axelrod are part of a nefarious communist plot, all closet CPUSA members...but that, naturally, is how the left will try to caricature this and dismiss it. They willfully close their eyes and laugh it off. What it does show, however, is how today’s Democratic Party was impacted by these far-left influences. Guys like Frank Marshall Davis realized that the Communist Party wasn’t viable and instead joined the Democratic Party. Davis even ran and got elected to a local Democratic precinct office in Hawaii. This began the long march to transform the Democratic Party from the party of Harry Truman and JFK to the party of Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama. All of this has pulled the party decidedly to the left. The folks running the White House today are the political godchildren of folks that the Democrats 50 years ago considered so radical that they investigated them.

Communists are famous for "laughing it off" and accusing their accusers of precisely what they are doing. Frank M Davis was famous for using this tactic throughout his "career" writing for communist newspapers in Chicago and Honolulu. This back-handed dismissal with a sniff is pure communist tactics and theater.

Sheesh! If her pranks are a metaphor, she looks like she was ripe for the pickin. Ability to defy reality and absorb kinky “torture” of any kind. lol

In an odd sort of way, her persona actually reminds me of Kagan.

I’d want to know more except for the fact that she is low-hanging fruit, but a noteworthy brownshirt nevertheless.

Yet over four years ago we were hearing that dissent was patriotic. Whatever could have happened in the meantime? /sarc

More people hired last month than in any month for 29 years and we dont believe it? Wonder why...

And more so when you consider that seasonal summer jobs had ended.

‘lunatics’?

Here’s one thing that happens when you criticize a dictator, just before you disappear, permanently.

Exactly. Anyone who experienced life in the former Soviet Union or former "Iron Curtain" countries of Eastern Europe - and who tells the truth - can identify with the common abuse of psychiatry by the governments there. Dissidents were frequently diagnosed with mental disorders by government doctors simply on the basis of their political views. These "mentally ill" would then be sent to "medical facilities" for "treatment," and would be fortunate to ever get out of them alive.

“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

So now we know for sure that Obastard's birth certificate is Kenyan and in a safe in Nairobi.

Thanks for the specificity Gibbs, you fat tub of lard.

These commies can't help but utter the grand truth within their lies. Their subconscious outs them every time.

Good post on Axelrod's background. I don't know it for a fact, but my I wouldn't be surprised if Axelrod was raised in a far left family himself. "Red Diaper Babies" were a common phenomenon back then.

...Paul Klengor, author of "The Communist"...

Should be Paul KENGOR (no "l"). "The Communist," BTW, is a biography of Frank Marshall Davis, best known now as young Obama's mentor and black male role model during Zero's adolescent years in Hawaii. Davis was a card carrying member of CPUSA.

Thanks for the clarification on the author’s spelling. I’m embarrassed because I’m reading “The Communist” right now and should know better.

It is a great book — highly recommended. We have more communists in the government at the highest levels than FDR did.

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.

Yep. See my post at #71.

Silly Gibbs...Trix are for kids! Pffft!...Barry’s records aren’t in a vault in Kenya.

Obama’s line records were discovered in Series RG36 reference books in the colonial birth registration archives of the United Kingdom.

Obama’s birth records in the United Kingdom are held under ‘privileged access’ status, meaning researchers were denied access under Chapter 52, Sections 3 and 5 of the British Public Records Act of 1958.

Now as to Barry’s 1981-1982 transcripts from the Russian Academy of Sciences, y’all will have to talk to Comrade Pooty-Poot about those!

The birth certificate might be. But the real unemployment figures are on the streets and highways of the US, made of real people.
