The funny thing about the Labor Department's monthly unemployment report is that the number-crunching bureaucrats act like they're delivering high carat diamonds when the real worth of what they're reporting is closer to the value of a mud pie.
First, a college graduate with a degree in biomedical engineering who gets a $90,000 job in his field is counted exactly the same in the government's unemployment report as a biomedical engineering graduate who can't find a job and is working weekends as a bus boy at Applebee's.
Or as the PBS Newshour succinctly stated it, "If you only worked one hour in the past week, you're counted as officially employed."
Given the large number of part-timers who are currently looking for full time work and unable to find a job, that flaw alone by the Labor Department of putting part-timers in the "employed" column makes their monthly unemployment statistic meaningless.

So if the Obama campaign hires campaign workers and assigns them 1 hour of work per week the government counts that person as employed. At the cost of $1,280,000 dollars a month they can increase the employment numbers by 40,000 people.
You aren’t leaving anything to chance, are you ?
LOL!!
Go for it!
Complacency is the enemy now.
The momentum is clearly on Romney’s side, and Obama has nothing to campaign on. The past 4 years have been a train wreck, and he has no plan for the next 4 years except more of the same. I believe this election is Romney’s to lose, but we SHOULDN’T LET UP, and celebrate prematurely. There’s still work ahead. Let’s crush this fool! Embarrass the left!
