So, if the BLS picks up unemployment stats of people >16, and that means that employment numbers speciously peak during the summer months, and that's when the POTUS race will be in full swing, is it forecastable that the Pubbies would be exaggerating local employment results as the tangible proof that the economy's resurging jobfully, while Rats would be trying to "expose" the lie to a population that doesn't appreciate such nuanced arguements, and the local after-summer downward stats would be aired too late for full capitalization by the Rats?

If so that would be fitting justice. The recession started well before Bush raised his right arm. I was there fore and aft, and so was my job and my retirement money.

Actually where you were going with that is that if >90% of the government is fixed and isn't influenced by who sits in the Oval Office, and given that there are good things and bad things that happen during any presidency, and given that the Media bias is always in favor of the Rats by > 90%, is it forecastable that a Rat president could take credit for the rising sun just by crowing, while the Media will condemn any Pubbie POTUS for anything bad that happens anywhere for any reason?

I wasn't going anywhere with it. Your claims of what I am trying to say are irrelevant.

If you want to discuss the points of the article, then by all means, let's have a discussion. If, however, you wish to sling hyperbole, then forget it- my time is better served by ignoring such infantile attempts.
