Cooking the books!

[Jeb]

Well, what in the sam hell is going on? We have 9.7% UC announced today while we found 840,000 jobs lost that we overlooked in January. So what is really going on here? The BHO admin has pulled an old Clinton trick of cooking the numbers. He simply changed or lowered the number of Americans in the total workforce from 136,000,000 to 126,000,000 and even though we know over 450,000 new claims were filed in January, the number still went down. The headline is "Jobs are coming Back!" The other thing that he is doing is not reporting those that have given up on looking for work and have no more wages to clain on UC. Then, if you throw in the 1,000,000 people that are hired to work on the Census which are counted yet are temporary...you can see how this is nothing more than a shell game. Just as the 5.7% GDP was bogus because it is based on business annual re-stocking of inventory and the govt infusion of money which is temporay as well. Watch for the revision of the numbers downward just like the previous numbers were. However, the State-run-media never reports on the revised numbers and this gave BHO the talking point he wanted. He said in the Sorry State of the Union that jobs would return and now they have! Magic! Horseshit!:paper

Great example of the MSM in action propping up their president.

You nailed it Jeb. This is how socialists propagandize, all while the media cheers it on.

It's a new and improved dispicability conveyed by this administration to the likes of what we've never seen. They truly believe the majoriy of Americans are imbiciles who believe their schemes and falsehoods. It's incredible.

As for the "so called" news networks, they should change their names to show what they truly represent.

Such as....

NBC= Nothing But Crap

ABC= All Bullshit Continually

CBS= Constructive Bull Shit

The slogans might sound corny, but you have to admit, they are more accurate then not.

So true!

MSM does not make an appearance in my house. Not going to waste my time. Reading has replaced the nightly news. Ann Coulter (http://www.anncoulter.com/) had this to say about the government's financial bailout:

We're talking about regular Americans being forced to foot the bill for the gambling habits of left-wing multimillionaires by buying the malefactors more chips every time they lose.

Republicans should defend any investment houses that never benefited from a government bailout. But anyone who took huge gambles, lost and got bailed out with taxpayer money should be tortured and then shot, miraculously brought back to life, tortured some more, then shot a few more times.

Sounds like a good idea to me....

BHO has also flip-flopped on the 'big bonus' issue. From Bloomburg (http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=aKGZkktzkAlA):

Feb. 10 (Bloomberg) -- President Barack Obama said he doesn’t “begrudge” the $17 million bonus awarded to JPMorgan Chase & Co. Chief Executive Officer Jamie Dimon or the $9 million issued to Goldman Sachs Group Inc. CEO Lloyd Blankfein, noting that some athletes take home more pay.

The president, speaking in an interview, said in response to a question that while $17 million is “an extraordinary amount of money” for Main Street, “there are some baseball players who are making more than that and don’t get to the World Series either, so I’m shocked by that as well.”

“I know both those guys; they are very savvy businessmen,” Obama said in the interview yesterday in the Oval Office with Bloomberg BusinessWeek, which will appear on newsstands Friday. “I, like most of the American people, don’t begrudge people success or wealth. That is part of the free- market system.”

Obama sought to combat perceptions that his administration is anti-business and trumpeted the influence corporate leaders have had on his economic policies. He plans to reiterate that message when he speaks to the Business Roundtable, which represents the heads of many of the biggest U.S. companies, on Feb. 24 in Washington.

The American people should tell Goldman CEO Lloyd Blankfein that we want our $9,000,000.00 back!!!

Well, I personally don't begrudge anyone making money as it is none of mine or Obama' business! That said, bankruptcy is the only way any of this crap should have been handled! No damn bailots period! You have the right to make money and lose it! Win or lose the rules should not change for one player over another. Let the chips fall where they may, risk is part of our system and the market has to decide! Bush was wrong to start this shit and BHO has perfected this crisis for his takeover of our system...and we all will pay hell for years to come and the result will still be the same!

We shouldn't forget that even though a large majority (70-80%) of the people demanded NO BAILOUT by congress, congress went on to orchestrate and approve the largest robbery of the American people in its history. So much of America's wealth was taken against the people's will by a handful of wealthy corrupt politicians in (mostly) broad daylight. The bailout (robbery) is one of the main reason's the flames for a revolution are being fanned, and justifiably so.

"The GAO found other discrepancies:

- 3,978 reports showed that numerous districts received no stimulus dollars, but somehow officials reported more than 50,000 jobs created or saved

- 9,247 reports showed no full time jobs were created, but somehow did show they received $965 million in stimulus money. For example, 935 jobs at Southwest Georgia Community Action Council were reportedly saved due to the stimulus--but only 508 people work there.

- According to Illinois state officials, some of their local education authorities “had double-counted the number of positions, attributing the positions to both state fiscal year 2009 (which ended on June 30, 2009) and fiscal year 2010 (beginning July 1, 2009), in part because the reporting period covered both of the state’s fiscal years,” the GAO found."

Just remember though that idiot's stimulus saved every job in America, and created a couple hundred more jobs to boot. That's why only 25 million are out of work instead of 225 million. Isn't he special!

Thanks Prez!
