In the home stretch of the 2012 presidential campaign, from August to September, the unemployment rate fell sharply — raising eyebrows from Wall Street to Washington.
The decline — from 8.1 percent in August to 7.8 percent in September — might not have been all it seemed. The numbers, according to a reliable source, were manipulated.
And the Census Bureau, which does the unemployment survey, knew it.

Thanks for the ping!
You need to work on your reading comprehension.
I did not claim to have stayed home. I simply identified that your complaint is exactly the same as many who HAVE claimed they stayed home.
I also pointed out you are hypocritical for blaming those that (1) told the GOP that Romney was unacceptable and (2) subsequently did not accept him.
If conservatives are to be demonized by the R party for upholding conservative values, then the R party should not be surprised when conservatives fail to support them.
Did I write that so you could understand it?
Oh - and “none of the above” is ALWAYS a choice on the ballot, unless you are completely unwilling to stand up for your core principles.
BS. Romney received a million more votes than McCain. And Obama's numbers went down by 3.5 million compared to 2008, but he still beat Romney by 5 million compared to beating McCain by 9.5 million.
David Leip's Atlas of Presidential elections
The difference in those numbers mostly represents the Kamikaze Conservatives who stayed home and allowed Obama to win, thereby teaching the evil Republicans a lesson about RINO's, Mormons, or something.
Just a myth. The facts don't bear that out.
The manipulation of census data is very critical because it affects the allocation of government funds and the electoral map of the country. Congressional districts are allocated to the states based on census data.
“Did I write that so you could understand it?”
I believe I understand your position, I just don’t happen to agree with it. I think we agree that the GOP is a disgrace, that the GOPe is the reason, and that by their candidate selection, the get defeated more often than not. Still, at the end of the day, I’d rather have a Bush than either of his opponents, even though I regard Bush as a poor president at the end of the day. What I want to see is a conservative plan that closes that will take control of the GOP. But seemingly, most people who are registered Republicans, don’t buy conservatism, and I don’t understand why. I guess that our populace has slid so far that they all want to be taken care of to one degree or another. Unfortunately, with the exception of Ted Cruz and Mike Lee, I don’t see any Reagans waiting in the wings, The GOPe will try to run Fat Bastard or perhaps the Mexican Bush. But simply saying that “I am not going to try to affect the process” and withhold my vote doesn’t work for me.
Massa, I cannot tell a lie. Marse George done it.
This is why the Census being moved to Dept of Commercr was a bad idea... but no one cared when the One did it...
When Romney had the Arab Americans for Romney come out for him and several were ground zero mosque supporters, I knew he would be no different
there was just no way I could vote for either of those men
You're right. It is imperative that the Iowa corn subsidies and ruin-your-engine ethanol set the tone for presidential elections.
“Unfortunately, most of Obama’s voters are LIVs.”
More unfortunately, most Obama voters have no interest in “employment”.
what were the “real” phonied up numbers?
Indeed!
Government IS the problem. EVERY Federal agency (I have worked for two) is saturated with liberal Democrats. It has been this way for YEARS. The public schools are almost completely staffed with these people.
If Romney had lied the press would have been all over it with a thousand "fact check" articles and ample outrage. When Obama lied, they helped him perpetuate the ruse.
The media are the real enemies of America.
So what will happen? Where does the responsibility lie to investigate and prosecute? Will this just slide by like everything else he does? I heard Krauthammer say recently that this administration breaks the law so much that nobody even notices any longer, let alone does anything about it.
This is so bizarre - why does nothing ever happen to these people?
I cannot disagree with a thing that you say.
Yes indeed and probably an IRS anal probe and threats from the NSA against his children and death threats from the chitown mob... to name a few more.
EXACTLY!
