This Communist/Marxist/Socialist world seems to be about to spin out of control. Hope “the folks” are happy.

IOTW: Sandy was great for Barry Benghazi and his commie ‘RATS but disasterous for Americans. Figures. Chrissy Matthews must be thrilled.

Eric Bolling just said this has nothing to do with Sandy. They were lying to protect Obama before the election.

Jobless claims SURGE — Reuters blames Sandy
==
The BS section of BLS can go on vacation, because they don’t have to manipulate the numbers, now that Obama is safe because of the election.
UE can go to 10% or more and Obama can go to the golf course.

Broom Hilda Solis is a full blown Communist, drag here A$$ to Capitol Hill and let her try to explain the bogus 8.1 to 7.8 unemployment drop and the artificially low weekly job numbers in the lead up to the election.

So the stock market tanking is due to the fiscal cliff. And the unemployment claims skyrocketing is blamed on Sandy.
Nothing to do with Obama being re-elected.
Right.

Like that old saying goes, “You can fool all of the people some of the time and some of the people all of the time.” In today's America we have a lot, perhaps even a majority of the population, that can be fooled all of the time. Anybody that suggested the labor department might be fudging the numbers pre-election to help Obama and the numbers would shoot back up right after the election was mocked....well here we are...

Maybe Hannity should start the "Days to Collapse" countdown.
To: dforest
I guess it’s Sandy’s fault that the continuing claims rose by 171,000 also. /s
