A new ‘magic number’: under 9%

Come whatever may, Team Obama will get to ‘perceived’ 8% or less unemployment by November 2012.

If they can keep ‘perceived’ inflation in check, Team Obama will be difficult to beat.

Incumbency is difficult to win against. The GOP needs a strong candidate, and their top tier of wannabes are not ‘them’.

All the talking heads projected a 9.1% rate. Cooked numbers in the 8.9%? My guess: YES!

From the BLS report:

Curious that the report gives no reason for the upward revisions in both December and January.

The gap between Gallup Reported numbers, and Administration reported number is now HUGE.

Gallup reported 10.3% just YESTERDAY.
BLS is reporting 8.9%.
That’s not a statistical difference, that’s FRAUD by one of them.

How many millions did Obama have to delete from the workforce, this time???

Why don’t they report it at 4.5% and be done with it?

Wait a month. The numbers will be revised upwards. But by then the spin will have worked.

Unemployment rate November 2010: 9.8%

Jobs added:
Dec 103,000
Jan 36,000
Feb 192,000

Total: 331,000 (110,000 per month)

Yet the unemployment rate has gone down a FULL point?

Yeah.... right.

Pre-Obama math, you needed 3 million jobs to drop it a full point.

Yet, presto. 300,000 jobs in 3 months and here we go. Down, down, down.

Never forget, that when a person’s unemployment benefits expire they drop off the rolls. The BLS “assumes” that person to be employed................

Lets see now, my buddy was just told that the printing factory his brother in law works for just laid off 60% of the work force, my wife was just informed that the day health program she is director of was just canned by the state and 50% of the county workers are to be eliminated. Everyone I know in the building trades are barely working. So where did these figures come from?

just keep realiasing fairy tale numbers for a year and then all’s good for Obambi’s election

Can any one here image the horror of a second term with this a$$hole?

forget repealing Obamacare - forget a balanced budget

Any global leader of any other country can come to USA and ask for whatever they want- if it is bad for USA Obambi is for it. Just ask Mexico’s truckers

Cooked is right!

Gallup came out with a 10.3% rate yesterday, a significant INCREASE. And Gallup is hardly a rightwing outfit.

Meanwhile, gas has gone up about $0.50 in less than two weeks. That’s bound to put the brakes on this “growth”.

Gallup finds 10.3% unemployed, 19.9% underemployed

Federal and state tax revenues tell the real story, don’t they?
