There are two things you can count on with the unemployment statistics; any rise is “unexpected” (totally undue to anything the Administration does in its economic policies) and the prior week’s “good” numbers are revised Upward.

But notice in the MSM(including Fox) they were all a twitter about how Obama in phony polls is still at 45% approval this AM. We are living in Soviet Russia. The MSM which takes it's cues from the DNC and the Communist blogosphere likes to get out in front of bad news to soften the blow for Magic Negroid.

I’ve always wondered.
Is that 400,000+ number per month?
Is that how many people there are losing their jobs?

Have you ever hit exactly on the mark with your weekly estimate? It's either either higher than expected or lower--rarely right on the nose ("as expected"). During W, it was also "unexpected"...but the key difference is that now, the unexpecteds are usually in one direction--that they were optimistic.

“Change” expectedly high.

“Hope” unexpectedly low.
