This is why you have to be more than just about the economy and hope it will always be bad.

No surprise here for sure.Romney needs to pound the combined rate...can’t recall what it’s called...the rate of the unemployed who are looking *plus* the unemployed who’ve become too discouraged to look and,therefore,are not counted as unemployed.

I only briefly caught a glimpse of the crew on CNBC before leaving the office,but it appeared the anchors were not only expressing surprise, but outright skepticism.

Looks like the internals have been cooked, from what I am hearing.

I wonder what the number would have been if the Muslim in Chief didn’t stop the Military layoffs.

So we should prepare for the More Sunny Weather miracle job reports in the next 2 consecutive weeks, with miracle recovery ‘numbers’ and sob stories to occupy the print press and airwaves. Don't you dare believe your own eyes and ears.
In the meantime Obama probably will start an unauthorized ‘war’ against some ‘wink'unknown’wink’ entity to appear to be ‘decisive and presidential’.
Got it.

LOL! Now, who didn’t see this coming?!! The Magic Negro pulls one out at the last second!
The funny part will be the talking heads who all claim 7.8% is absolutely wonderful and yet Bush at 5.2% was a dolt who couldn’t do anything right.

No. From CNBC: “The government said the total number of jobs employed surged by 873,000, the highest one-month jump in 29 years.”

Focus on the internals?
You`re talking about the American voters here. Since when do they apply critical thinking to anything? They`re going to see that 7.8 number and that`s going to seal it for them.

It's not the unemployment numbers that count.
It's those who count the unemployment numbers that make it count.

Of course they don’t mention that if all those who have given up were counted, the rate would be over 11%. They seem so eager to shill for this criminal administration.

If Romney is as aggressive towards Obama in the "townhall" debate as the first debate, Obama is
finished.
By the way, don't think that the Bureaur of Labor Statistics information can't be fact-checked, especially in the age of the Internet. Close analysis of the internals could reveal a large number of people giving up on finding a job, and that information could haunt Obama to no end.

I doubt (at least I severely hope) that the people will not be fooled by these manipulations. Being jobless and paying close to $5 a gallon for gas are tow things we do not need the media to tell us about.
Everyone who is unemployed knows they are whether Chris Matthews says so or not.
To: NotTallTex
Yes, this is very suspicious. Remember what happened in 08 the moment McCain and Palin went ahead in the polls? Does anyone think that (the financial crisis) was a coincidence? My cat agrees with you.
