Chrissy wants more tingles

ALSO - Two very significant points to consider:

1 - The 873,00 jobs added is a BLS estimate. Not based on any hard employment data.

2 - To arrive at the 7.8% rate the administration went back and bumped the July employment up by 40,000 and bumped the August employment up by 46,000.

Jack Welch Refuses to Back Down on Unemployment Numbers in Fiery Exchange With Chris Matthews

“We had 600,000 government jobs added in the last two months. We had 873,00 jobs by a household survey — which is a total estimate — from 50,000 phone calls. Of those, 600,000 were temporary workers. Chris, these numbers are all a series of assumptions. Tons of assumptions. And it just seems somewhat coincidental that the month before the election, the numbers go one-tenth of a point below where the president started. Although, I don’t see anything in the economy that says these surges are true.”

U.S. unemployment rate falls to 7.8 percent

"In addition, job gains were revised upward by 40,000 for July (to 181,000) and by 46,000 for August (to 142,000), casting a slightly rosier light on what had been perceived as a summer slump."

Here are some interesting stats on retail gasoline sales from the Department of Energy:

I would not be surprised that, if and when Romney wins the presidential election, Chrissy baby would blow his brains out.

...., which showed a spike in employment and a drop in the unemployment metric from 8.1 percent to 7.8 percent, is bogus.

How many times have we been told this clown is really a messiah - gonna lower the sea levels, gonna get it done in three years.....blah blah blah blah. Well this lowering of the unemployment rate is his best hat trick to-date!!

A Miracle! 114K New Jobs Employ 450K People!

Hey Chris, it’s not about evidence, it’s about the seriousness of the charge!

Remember?

We had 600,000 government jobs added in the last two months

This number is extremely disturbing. What the H*ll are these people hired to do?

Our Republic cannot survive with more and more parasitic bureaucrats being hired by the Federal leviathan.

If Romney is elected I pray that Boehner will not be the Speaker. We need to gut as much of the unconstitutional parts of government as possible.

Our leaders can gut it through the legislative process (the right way) or through continued debasing of our currency and eventual insolvency (not desired, but likely way)

I agree with Welch but this “cook the books” stuff is a side issue. Important but a side issue until further investigation & facts are available to nail whoever is responsible and prosecute. That will come later.

But even if the rate IS 7.8% - so what? It is an unacceptable unemployment rate. I would like to see the average unemployment rate for the last four years - probably closer to 9%.

The real story is that liberals think 7.8% is a good acceptable unemployment rate worthy of rehiring Obama.

I think Matthews and Ubama want some “Down Low” time together.
