Rick Santelli, the man who helped launch the Tea Party with his impassioned comments from the trading floor in 2009, sees the hand of politics at work in today's announcement that the unemployment rate has dipped below 8%.
Speaking on CNBC's Squawk Box this morning just minutes after the number was announced, Santelli said: "I told you they'd get it under 8%--they did!"

Santelli smells a rat on unemployment rate. Ping to Today show list.
REUTERS: “A survey of households from which the jobless rate is derived showed 873,000 job gains last month, the most since June 1983.”
How has the greatest country on earth sunk to this level of corruption. Obama that is how. Despicable.
But still Obama lost the election, when you lose the first debate, you lose the election.
the most since June 1983!?!
No wonder Hugo Chavez LOVES this guy
You got that right.
Drive enough people out of the work force entirely, and the percentage of people looking for work drops. Go figure.
Another thread theorizes that the systematic devaluation of the dollar is designed to devalue jobs: getting around minimum wage laws by making those minimum wages numerically stable but worth less on the world market.
Classic Goebbels moment.
I didn't think so.
Once again, pure horse manure.
How dare you ask questions about where these numbers are coming from, or how they are calculated. (Sarcasm)
Look for a new talking point that Porkulus worked. Since Porkulus was intended to keep unemployment under 8%, the liberals will now say that it finally succeeded.
BULL!!!! These “numbers” will be touted from the highest rooftops and the zombie American public will lap it up with great enthusiasm. This will happen again next month and it will be Zero by 6 points in Nov.
How has the greatest country on earth sunk to this level of corruption.
We are being led by a bunch of gangster thugs who would throw their own mothers under a bus to obtain their objectives - power and greed. These godless bunch of low lifes will do anything to win this election. I hope it bites them in their @sses.
Jeffery Immelt on line 2!
Ryan, crunch toses numbers, baby!
But still Obama lost the election, when you lose the first debate, you lose the election.
Yes, but Reagan lost his first debate, thankfully obama is no Reagan.
Was it more folks who gave up looking for work and dropping them from the workforce pool made the numbers look better or is is something else?
Does this really help Obama? After all, hasn’t he already locked up the moron vote?
Your opinion that is all.
Like it or not, Obama lost the election Wednesday night.
The ONE CONCERN I do have is the voter fraud, which is why folks are going to have to be on their guard.
