The onlybthing Obama has successfully done is ensure that it will be a long time before another black president is elected and I happen to think Allen West would have made a good president. At least he would have been honest (as a politician be).

“...that it will be a long time before another black president is elected...”
IMO, not a fair statement should probably be:
‘that it will be a long time before a Chicago thug is elected President’

Long time before we get another Chicago thug -- true statement.
Long time before we get another black president -- also true statement.

I do feel bad for Allen West. I think Obama has really spoiled things for him.

Romney/Ryan better hit this phony numbers BS/crap hard in the next 2-3-4 debates, or øbummer will be made to look like a business/economic hero on Nov 6th, by the corrupt MSM.

U6 data, NOT the cooked/fried/boiled U3 numbers, MUST be used. The corrupty, criminal BLS gets away with too much to benefit the marxist-POS-liar-traitor-in-chief.

from the CBS TV poll:

Yes. There's A Recovery Underway 0.67%

No. Someone's "Cooking The Books" 99.33%

No, no, y’all got it all wrong. These numbers are correct. President Obama’s plan is starting to work, it is just that these new jobs and the people employed are invisible. Why, last month this country added 125,000 new jobs in pixie dust manufacturing, 135,000 in the transportation of unicorns, and thanks to Obamacare tooth fairies are now required to harvest organs along with correcting teeth.

As I posted several years ago;

Obama is America’s David Dinkins.

Is that an actual scientific poll?

Unfortunately the new 7.8% figure is a political fraud

When Romney secures the Presidency, a top prioity is to make heads roll at the BLS.

Why are we continuing to sign up for this little piece of fiction in the first place? I wish they would cite the actual 14.7% number...Say it often. Say it every chance you get. Our national unemployment picture is a national disgrace. Historically, America has always been about work. WORK. Not how you take care of those who can’t find it.

Shades of Saturn 3.The administration will start distributing photos of an American astronaut landing on Mars except they are really photoshopped photos of a guy meandering in a Louisiana marsh.Much like coming up with a a healthy dip in the unemployment rate while simultaneously posting dismal job numbers in this last report.

Most of these people are unemployed and their emergency benefits have run out. Despite what you hear there is a limit on the benefits an unemployed gets. More than that sometime around Jan 14th EVERYBODY’s federal emergency benefits end because that’s when the program expires. It does not matter if someone has just got on emergency unemployment in August, October or december - they all stop on that date.

What the republicans should do is put up a bill that extends the emergency unemployment benefits for 3 - 6 months. And offer cuts in other places (preferably in places Harry Reid would not like to see cuts) to offset the cost of the emergency unemployment.

This will put Harry Reid and his party in a very difficult position (between a rock and a hard place). It will NOT look good if his party votes against the unemployed victims of this pResident.

If this had been done earlier we would not be seeing 7.8% unemployment because the more people that get back into the program the higher the unemployment rate will reflect Realville as it heads up toward 11%.

Most likely we will see another drop in the unemployment rate next month. This is the time that those who went on emergency unemployment expire and are no longer counted as unemployed. This benefits Obama.

Mitt Romney is right, the rate is dropping as people’s unemployment benefits expire.

Obabaa “found” 800,000+ jobs the same way Dems “find” boxes of ballots in the trunks of cars and in storage closets that were “overlooked”....close election? Repub winning by a little? Wow! Lookee here, we just “found” more ballots! And we must count every ballot! (except for military ballots or ballots from Repub districts, etc)

This is “The New Normal”, isn’t it? Now all about the “takers” and screw the “makers”, like us, who’ve worked for 50+ years. What’s coming is truly frightening, at this rate.

This “New Normal” is so surreal to us with a functioning brain.

You’re 100% right. When UE runs out in Jan 2013, if *something* isn’t in-place to quell the growing exasperation and anger, SHTF.

Reid&Co will fight everything to keep it as is, until after Nov 6. the GOP-e doesn’t have the stones to challenge him and the corrupt congress.

The U3 data will continue to drop and show an even bigger gain in Oct, as 11/6 gets here, making 0bummer&Co the heroes. R/R won’t know what hit them unless they go after the U6 data daily and push the truth out there. The MSM will cover, spin, lie... do whatever it takes to get that POS back in.

Seen these?
