The Obama administration has released an economic report that claims everything is coming up roses, and it is making the rounds of the MSM's news outlets. Truth is, when you look into the numbers, it's rather easy to come to the conclusion that the economic reports are as screwy as the administration's employment numbers. In order to convince Americans that his economic measures are working, Obama is claiming there has been an increase in retail sales from December to January by a seasonally adjusted .4%. The administration goes on to explain that while the economy is moving in a positive direction, it is still slow. They also point out that the recently reported gains reduced unemployment to 8.3%, proving that Socialist economic policies are working. However, Obama's unemployment numbers have since been proven to be lies. Have I stated that we are in an election year and that Obama needs to get re-elected in order to continue transforming the greatest country in the history of mankind into a Soviet style basket case? To assist in the destruction, the MSM has been knowingly repeating this administration's lies.
Instead of reporting how America's real unemployment is actually up between 19 and 25%, they report that Obama has been able to get unemployment down to 8.3%. Instead of reporting that the government is spending more money than it is taking in, and that retail sales have dropped by almost $100 billion from December to January, we are told by the administration's propaganda machine that retail sales have increased by .4%. In an election year, the MSM will do everything in their power to convince Americans that Obama is even greater than Ronald Reagan.

"Ministry of Truth" works, too.
Did you hear that Yahoo is already predicting that The Pretender in Chief will be re-elected?

Thanks for the ping.
I’m seeing a dropoff on the graph beginning in 2009.
As for the last two data points — that’s downright scary.
Bump for later.
It’s a 10 month old article but he’s been cooking the books since he first plopped his feet up on the Resolute Desk.
Heard gas is going up 20 cents in Arizona because of the spike in CA. Other states will follow, not because they’re in any way connected to those pipes or fuel company but because they can. It went up 10 cents this weekend at a Texas station, but then that station always gouges customers.
LucyT,
I just realized this article was from FEBRUARY....
Wonder where on the chart we are now, given the refinery problems.
Yes, there IS one refinery shut down that I know of, Torrance Mobil.... not sure of others.
We’re all hunkering down...
Duh, are you implying that continued Federal Spending exceeding the previous year’s income will not pass the Liberal’s Sustainability Test?
BTW, 653 US Universities have taken the Sustainability Pledge, so they must known that taxpayers will always pay back all debt incurred by Federal politicians, right?
