Judging by the number of young fathers out pushing strollers on Monday morning I have no problem believing this.

“...the number of Americans not in the labor force has increased by 10,102,000 during Obama’s presidency”
He has done a fine job increasing his voting base.

But I thought the just published unemployment figures for September was down to 7.2%

7.2%: those people who were only looking for work on Monday’s and Thursdays.

Wait... you’re telling me that nearly 1/3 of Americans are unemployed? Remove another 1/3 due to age or other factors, and you’re left with approximately 100M Americans supporting 200M Americans.
This is painful to even consider.

Wait... youre telling me that nearly 1/3 of Americans are unemployed? Remove another 1/3 due to age or other factors, and youre left with approximately 100M Americans supporting 200M Americans. And half those are working for the government.

And half those are working for the government. So 50M Americans supporting 300M Americans.
Take out strippers, bartenders, convenience store clerks and taxi drivers, and you're down to 25 million.
Take out gay rights activists, NAACP and other race hustlers, ACORN successor voter fraud consultants, and community organizers, and you're down to 12 million.
Take out attorneys, lobbyists, used car and electronics salesmen, and self-help speakers, and you're down to 5 million.
Take out those who use tax loopholes to avoid any payment of income tax at all, and that leaves JUST YOU AND ME, NACHUM!
And I'm about to take an extended vacation, so keep up the good work!

Ahhhhh, that's 90 million unemployed out of 330 million citizens, 27% of all Americans.
If the adult population is 250 million, then 90 million unemployed is 36% of the adult population.
So howcum 0bama touts 7.2% lies, lies, lies?

"The number of Americans who are 16 years or older and who have decided not to participate in the nation's labor force has climbed to a record 90,609,000..." And yet we have tens of millions of illegal aliens in the labor force. But hey, we're not supposed to connect those dots.
Ogina is "focused on jobs like a laser." Like a LASER, I tell you!

“Thus, the number of Americans not in the labor force has increased by 10,102,000 during Obama’s presidency.”
All by design, Comrade. All. By. Design.
