BTW - Romney back up 2 in Rasmussen. 49-47 which will be released in 15 minutes.
Yet the unemployment rate is now 7.3% because of all the Secret Santa spending that has dramatically arrived on-scene in this most joyous holiday season (what does anyone want to bet that Obama and his SAB wife forego the annual Holiday Tree lighting this year?)
They played this game with the Labor Dept numbers in the sudden drop of unemployment percentage down to 7.8%.
So jobless claims “rising sharply” are a sign “of a labor market that is slowly healing”????? LOL. We must have been in an economic boom over the past 4 years then!! Gotta love that Reuters spin.
By all means necessary-Barack Lenin Obama!

OK, California reported for this week, and we got up to 388K.
But, last week, California didn’t report. How come the revised number for last week is still only 342K? Shouldn’t it be closer to 365K or 370K with last weeks CA numbers included? Are they still missing?
With Romney becoming the obvious winner in the next election, MAYBE survey organizations are FINALLY telling the truth.
This way they can restore their reputations.
They squandered their credibility, siding with “O” when they were sure of his re election!!! :)
NICE
How a decline in jobs numbers are reported when a Democrat is President:
The number of Americans filing new claims for unemployment benefits rose last week, reversing a sharp decline in the prior week but still pointing to a labor market that is slowly healing.
Same content, Republican President:
The number of Americans filing new claims for unemployment benefits rose last week wiping out gains from the prior week returning the labor market to the edge of the cliff.
If I was Romney I would make a national address a couple of days in to my term and tell the American people the truth about the unemployment rate and how it has been fudged since the early 90s by excluding people who have exhausted their UE benefits or have become too discouraged to continue looking.
They are just as unemployed as they ever were.
The truth would shock people into realizing how bad things really are but would set a true benchmark from which Romney’s policies can be fairly judged.
It is indefensible that the government gets away with lying every month about the state of the job market.
They had to change the headlines.
The google search show the original headlines: “Rise Sharply”
The affirmative action department had the state media soften the headlines.
