1 So what will unemployment be when we put that jackass out of work?

2 Dick.

3 Last!

4 Sucker of cock.

As I said in the unemplyment thread...

 

Romney in the Debates scores with the line "unemployemnt over 8$ ofr 4 years"...

 

Two days later.... unemployment is magicly below 8%....

 

Either the numbers are cooked.... or Obama's deal with Satan kicked in.

6 Part of that new 'Economic Patriotism' doncha know.

7 That may be as big a blunder as his debate performance. Romney can rightfully argue that the current administration refuses to call the economy what it is, just like it refuses to call terrorism what it it. On the two biggest issues facing this country, this administration is in complete and utter denial.

8 This is going to backfire.  It will take some time, but it going to be like Bengazi.  Too many MSM outlets (including MSNBC) are looking at the numbers and saying they don't add up.

I'm hearing some rumors about a planned response, we'll see if they are true.

9 Who you going to believe?  Us, or your own lying eyes?

10 Hey, I'm just riding the high of my brand new zero income job! Being employed rocks! Thanks Obama! (quick question, do I sue my husband for unpaid labor?)

11 FL, OH and VA ... Oh My!!!

12 Perhaps the President should spend less time watching The View and, instead, study up on the economy.

13 this administration is in complete and utter denial.

Posted by: USA at October 05, 2012 11:38 AM (RIg+t)

This is where we disagree. This admin KNOWS the truth, and then crafts lies about it so they will supposedly look better. Much like your average 6 year old, they think we will believe their BS. It is insulting to the adults in the room.

14 Now this makes sense.  Talking down the economy.  Especially when you look at the world through the eyes of a black man.  It's like why we can't talk about how 80% of black babies are born out of wedlock or the epidemic that is violence in the black community.  Talking about these things is not only racist, it causes them to actually occur!

15 Democrats already are the outliers on the perception of how well or poorly the economy is doing, so I doubt that anyone outside of his base will be convinced by this and I doubt that Romney won't  continue hammering Obama on the state of the economy.

At worst, it will just rile some reporters up to start asking Romney if he isn't being unpatriotic by noting the obvious. Given how he keeps bringing up the 23 million unemployed/underemployed, I don't see how that question being asked really helps Obama.

16
The below 8% unemployment rate was predicted by Rush, and he will say,  I don't mean to be a know-it-all,  however, I told you so because they're liberals and they lie. 

17 Woo!!! We lost by 8, then we lost by 3, then we lost by only 1!!  Progress!! Woo!

18 Markos is on some strong medication : "The GOP effort to crash the economy had officially failed. And they tried so HARD!"

19 Dang!  Those poll numbers in FL, OH and VA from Razzy and WAA or looking very chipper this morning.

20

If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”

 

21 40 State blowout.

22 Posted by: tcn at October 05, 2012 11:40 AM (ZOUmX) You are right. I just prefer my softer formulation. Romney is trying to convince voters who voted for Obama in 2008.

23

The Cubs won 61 games this year!

24 Barack Obama is a stuttering clusterf*ck of a miserable tyrant.

25 So now we're in the WHO YA GONNA BELIEVE ME OR YO LYIN EYES phase of the campaign.

26 Rant time! I loathe this response. No, Republicans are not talking the economy down by pointing out the economy sucks. No, Republicans are not happy that the employment picture stinks. No, Republicans aren't thrilled that actual inflation, you know, inflation that includes gas and food, is sky high. That is not true and it's a nasty, pernicious lie to claim otherwise. It's just another arrow in the quiver that Republicans hate everyone who isn't a rich white guy. It's viciously mean and the tactic needs to be called out every time it is used. I want the economy to be better. I want gas back down under $3. Hell, I want it back down under $1. I want to get more than 0.20% interest on my crappy little savings account. I want people to have jobs. I want the economy to recover. Hell, if QE and QE2 Electric Bugaloo and QE3 Revenge of Jar Jar worked, I would suck it up and reevaluate my presumptions of how the economy works. Noting that they didn't work is not an attempt to score political points. It's pointing out reality. Politics is not actually a game. The practical end result of the political game is the election of politicians who then enact policies that have real word consequences for the electorate. Actual people are suffering due to Obama's policies. Real people are unemployed and are losing their homes and are getting effective negative interest rates on their savings. It is not out of line in the least for Republicans to say this. It's not beyond the pale to note reality, no matter what the Left thinks. I am beyond fed up with these attempts to make an examination of consequences verbotten. No. No. A trillion times no. Actions have consequences. It is well within bounds for the opposition party to note those consequences. Simply because reality is uncomfortable for Obama doesn't mean reality should be discarded.

27 Oh, and the jackass crowed about how awesome a 7.8% unemployment rate is.







W's consistently sub-6% unemployment rate farts in SCOAMF's general direction.

28 Well, this should be interesting...

So what they're saying is that the American people are so stupid that someone saying, "Hey, the economy ain't so great" is going to cause them all to panic and cause another recession.

Is that it?

to aide their boyfriend.

We were allowed 1 day but the narrative never sleeps, it merely rests!

Courage!!!

30 40 State blowout.

I'm thinking 53. (57 - CA/NY/VT/HI)

31 at the time of the election in 1984, unemployment was 7.5% I can now guarantee that the next UE report will drop the rate to 7.5% so they can compare Obama to Reagan. But they won't mention Reagan's red hot GDP at the time and the plummetting inflation rate and the red hot housing market.

32 Having a U3 of 8% and U6 of 14% is awesome, but not as awesome as shutting down hundreds of coal plants in Ohio and Pennsylvania.

33

As a small boy when I told a lie to my parents, they would light up my ass like a '48 Ford taillight.  I learned very quickly to tell the truth and not my version of the truth.  Liberals never learn this lesson.

34 Mitt Romney is a kulak and a breaker.

35 Jackasses don't crow - they bray.

36 I love it when alex gets all stompy.....

37 No Romney is talking down your economic policies which is the cause for our present economic headaches you ignorant girlyman.

38 "Markos is on some strong medication : "The GOP effort to crash the economy had officially failed. And they tried so HARD!""
-----
I didn't realize that Kos had some sort of official capacity in relation to the economy.

These people are deranged.

39 Obama is flailing, and its starting to show. That whole bullshit yesterday with obama saying that wasn't the real Romney at the debate. Yeah jerkoff, it was, accomplishments and all, and people's eyes do work you shitbag. The assclown dems spin so many lies they are starting to believe their own bullshit.

40

Obama campaign fund raising scandal... I mean irregularities, might surprise some, not me.  And most certainly not the MFM.

 

http://tinyurl.com/8rkcnqh

41 Now I'm not going to say that talking down the economy is racist, but it does make me uncomfortable.  Just something in my bones.  Especially when you consider where Romney is from.  What?  He's not from the south?  Aw shit.

42

The stock market is not reacting as if the jobs report is positive, volume should and would be much higher. Volume has been very low in this last run up which usually indicates a top and dates back to June of this year. I think this might just be the October surprise no one is expecting, a stock market plunge because it doesn't have the legs to go much higher.

43 Markos also thought that Romney had a cheat sheet during the debate.  Photos showed him putting something white on the podium!  Eleventy!!

It was a handkerchief.

44 So, given this employment explosion, Bernanke must halt QE3 as it will obviously overheat this booming economy!

45 Does anyone know if Romney is talking about his debate performance? I know he's not the bragging type, but it was a high point...

46 When your doctor informs you that you have cancer and you should get treatment ASAP, he should be castigated for talking down your health.

47 I posted this earlier but will take the liberty of doing so again (from a comment at that earlier Jack Welch link):

"According to the federal reserve board of Atlanta (http://tinyurl.com/8tfgvoa), it would have required 257,879 new jobs a month for the last three months to move from 8.1% unemployment to 7.8% unemployment. The report out today does not contain numbers anywhere near the necessary figures. I also calculated the rate over three months, but the last unemployment report (8.2% unemployment) only came out a month ago (which would have required 570,000+ jobs to move the unemployment the .4% reported today. Additionally, the Bureau of Labor Statistics is showing that payroll levels have been falling for months, so a sudden reversal of this magnitude is highly unlikely.

Yes, by the numbers and common sense, it appears that Jack Welch is correct. The figures reported today fail the smell test. Making president kardashian appear competent has become job #1 for gov't employees, when they're not vacationing on our tax dollars."

48

What my Queen said.

49 I think this might just be the October surprise no one is expecting, a stock market plunge because it doesn't have the legs to go much higher.

We are sorry, but you can no longer use the term Da Nile... our good Friend the President of Egypt, along with his Brothers (muslim) are in the process of changing the name to Mohamed's River of Life.

 

53 Total unemployment (U-6) is 14.7%! Holding that number from August. Great news, Barry!

54 We ain't impressed. Check the market.

55 When your doctor informs you that you have cancer and you should get treatment ASAP, he should be castigated for talking down your health.

Ooooh.  That's good.

56 I honestly can not wait until I don't have to see this JEF's mug on the TV anymore

57 The 7.8% number isn't real and can't be.  

The job growth for September in the household survey was 873,000 new jobs!   That's not just the highest number since 2001, that's the highest number in 29 years!   Put aside your suspicions of "cooking the books"... does anyone really think that number represents an improvement in the underlying real economy?   After two months in July and August where the household survey actually showed lost jobs?   But if that number isn't real, or represents some sampling anomaly, then the 7.8% number isn't real either.

 

Moreover, if you look at the household survey, which we were told by Dems throughout the 2000s was the more reliable estimate, you find that manufacturing employment edged downward in September by 16,000 jobs.   That's after a loss of 22,000 manufacturing jobs in August.  Not a good sign of a real recovery.  Meanwhile, government jobs went up by 10,000 jobs in September and a revised 45,000 in August.   Does anyone think that more government employment helps the real economy?

 

Without seasonal adjustments, the total private employment in the establishment survey actually decreased by 377,000 in September.   Again, not a good sign when the "growth" is the result of a statistical manipulation.

58

Patriots don't denegrate the economy.

59 Put the propeller beanie back on, TFG. It gives you more gravitas.

60 Wow! 7.8% unemployment and 114,000 new jobs - they sure showed us, didn't they? Let him crow. Romney can stay out of the way on this. Just run ad after ad with, "The private sector's doing fine." Point out that the biggest gain this month was in the government sector. Close it with the president saying that the one thing he's done insufficiently was to tell a good story.

61

He will therefore attempt to suggest that Romney is behaving unpatriotically,

---

 

Oh yeah, that's why they came up with the "economic patriotism" slogan. The preazy admin is so successful in this regard that when they promised hundreds of jobs to Delaware workers, to reopen the Chrysler plant - the hundreds of millions of dollars given to Fisker ended up in FINLAND.

62 Dang ,enough of this up and down! I was still savoring the buzz from the debate...

63 Obama is punching down!

64 Does anyone know if Romney is talking about his debate performance? I know he's not the bragging type, but it was a high point...

Posted by: MJ at October 05, 2012 11:47 AM


Hannity gave him the chance to gloat, and he didn't take it. Mitt basically just said he was glad to go out there and talk about the issues.

65 114,000 jobs created last month. I remember Morton Kandracke having a stroke on the  FOX  panel  over  "only 150,000 jobs"  being  created  each   month in the late summer of 2003. He said it just wasn't good enough, and showed   a  stalled  economy  going  nowhere.

66 59 Patriots don't denegrate the economy.

Posted by: Barakhenaten I at October 05, 2012 11:49 AM (AOOyf)

Patriots also don't tout misleading numbers and thus ignore economic reality, which makes it more difficult to fix the actual economic problems that exist (e.g., job creation).

67 Preach it, AtC! I love the smell of stompy stompy stompy in the morning.

68

The problem with this tactic being that reality has been kicking way too many Americans in the balls for far too long.  Almost everyone will either have experienced or know plenty of people who've experienced:

 

Underwater mortages, unemployment, underemployment, shitty emploment, shitty 401Ks, rising gas and food prices and on and fucking on.

 

I suppose it can fool the willfully blind, but those fuckheads would be fooled by shiny lights and jingling keys.  They ain't voting R regardless.

 

It will come across as arrogant, condescending and fucking retarded to everyone else.

69 This news comes as a great relief for Big Bird.

70

If you knew that the jobs report was going to be manipulated to favor you, would you want the report to come out before or after the debate you thought you would lose?

71 Gore lost.

72

1 So what will unemployment be when we put that jackass out of work?

 

----------

 

Once Romney is elected, they'll stop dicking around with the unemployment number, which will suddenly shoot up to 14%.

73 Hate to be pedantic, but jackasses bray, not crow. ;-)

74 looks like Obama is punching above his wait.

75 Obama is punching down! --- While Gerg continues to punch the clown.

76 Explain to me this: Companies, big companies, have announced layoffs coming in the 4th Qtr. That means their 3rd qtr was lousy -- it certainly means they weren't hiring in the 3rd qtr. But now we're supposed to believe hiring was brisk in July, August, and September. Is that about the size of it?

77

Heather link from laST POST

 

cbs- Naacp President in Chicago was threatened by Obama staff member.

 

Lowery says Raymond added, “We’ve been watching you, and since you don’t support Obama, we’ll DEAL with you,” before hanging up.

Lowery filed a report with the Oak Forest police report, he says, “in case something happens.”

78 Gas average $3.50 or so nationally, $4. 79 in California, Barry! Great news!

Posted by: Fritz at October 05, 2012 11:51 AM (/ZZCn)

Is that "Big Bird" the same one that Obama's been flipping the American people for four years?

81 I'm sure Barky knew the numbers ahead of time. He said that prepping for the debate was "boring." He probably thought it wouldn't matter how he did.Now all the Sunday talking heads will be talking about the glorious jobs numbers and Romneys "apology" about the 47% gaffffeee,Debate? What debate?

82

anyway we knew they would decrease UE numbers to help Obama.

 

I'm sure we will get the real numbers after the election in Romney wins.

UE is now 20% or something

83

One more report to go, which will hit just before the voting. To hold this level they will have to twist the numbers so far as to look silly.

 

And by the way, 7.8% sucks.

84 The Cubs won 61 games this year!


I bet they tried so hard, too! Trophies all around!

85 80 Gas average $3.50 or so nationally, $4. 79 in California, Barry! Great news!

I saw it was $5.99 in The San Fernando Valley.

GOVERNMENT jobs went up 55K in the last two months?  What Government is hiering?

 

The Feds are about to be hit by sequestration.... STATES are hurting... we have city Governments going Bankrupt here in California.... who the hell in government is EXPANDING?

88

69

All you have to do is log on to ANY forum that discusses personal finances...the US economy is in disarray. From boomers forced into working 'til they drop, to college grads who can't even land a barista job...to suburban families whose homes are 40 per cent lower valued than when preazy took office, and are effectively stuck there, they can't move up or down...to the commercial real estate market which is dead in the water.

 

If all these jobs miraculously have been appearing, where are the facilites opening to accomodate them? In my area, every type of commercial real estate is suffering high vacancy rates.

89 On this date, 8 years ago, the rate was 5.4%.

90 Bad economy!  Naughty economy!  What did you do?  Look what you did!

91 How about a reverse chestnut? The economy bottomed out and started to improve BEFORE TFG was inaugurated. It then died stillborn after the stimulus was passed. Heh! (or ugh!)

92 Here's the thing. Obama continues to deliver the same message to his base, most often at college campuses. Let him do that. If he wants to rely on the stoner slacker vote, good luck with that. We need to help Romney capitalize on getting his message out to a broad base of Americans. While Obama has panties tossed at him from adoring 19 year olds, Romney holds jobs summits with blue collar workers. He's doing the right thing. We need to help him. We need to donate, we need to project a confident positive attitude about what Romney-Ryan can do, we need to help him raise his visibility. Get a yard sign or bumper sticker, especially if you are in a purple area. Wear a lapel pin. Whatever. They will try to act like Romney's performance in front of 70 million people means nothing. That's bullshit. It meant a lot. Now we have to build on that. /end pep talk

93 Wait, so shouting "jobless recovery" the first 6 years of the Bush Presidency is NOT talking down the economy then, right?

94 who the hell in government is EXPANDING?

All those new federal agencies created by Obamacare?  IRS had to expand to ensure our compliance...

Mooch's school lunch police, with attendant vegetable preparers/composters?

95 Are you sure he didn't mean it like "talking him down off a ledge?"

Because I'm pretty sure the economy is close to taking another dive.

Hmmm... and oils sitting around $90  a barrel... so.... WHY?

97

Well, I looked over those job numbers and can pretty much say they're bullshit. The BLS has  stretched credulity thinner than a gnat's ass over a rainbarrel.  There's no fucking way that we could possibly experience the greatest job gain in 29 years or something with all the other indicators so bad.

 

So anyone who believes that shit is either delusional or a Dimocrat (BIRM). And as for Mitt "talking down the economy," that's bullshit too, although we shouldn't be surprised at anything coming from the MFM this close to the election. They are flailing about in a desperate attempt to save their little boy's reelection. And. It. Shows.

98 Romney can rightfully argue that the current administration refuses to call the economy what it is, just like it refuses to call terrorism what it it. That's a good segue into a line of attack that Romney could use to utterly disembowel the bullshit "war on Sandy Fluke's $18,000/year uterine needs". "They call record levels of poverty a 'recovery'. They call the war on terrorism an 'overseas contingency operation'. Just another day in the Democrats' ongoing war on reality.

99 On this date, 8 years ago, the rate was 5.4%.

105 Iowahawk tweet: "Us fudge employment numbers? Never!" - guy who told Lockheed to illegally delay layoff notices until after the election.

106 All you have to do is log on to ANY forum that discusses personal finances... ----- Right. Personal finances is the key area for Romney-Ryan to message on. I never thought "jobs" was the be all and end all. Romney needs to provide people a kitchen table discussion of where their money is going now, where it WILL go should Obama be re-elected, and how he and Paul Ryan will improve that outlook. That means taxes, but also things like killing Obamatax (and reduction in benefits costs), gas/energy prices, food prices, interest/savings rates, return to housing appreciation instead of DEpreciation, etc... as well as return of full-time, high-paying jobs.

107 BTW, where is Mitt Romney campaigning today? Nowhere, that's where. Obama is going to be in Ohio and Virginia and the GOP nominee is taking the day off. Great job, Mitt, great job.

108 And remember... if certain speech something makes something bad happen, we can now outlaw it and then find a reason to arrest the offender. Thanks 52%!!!!!

What I find most depressing is how fast the Feds took a suction on the Chicago Way.

 

Zero Hedge has a post pointing out how the part time jobs of the manufactured Household survey has the part time jobs at exactly, two thirds of the total jobs. I mean perfectly two-thirds. 0.6666666666666.

 

Purely manufactured bullshit from our lying, corrupt government. And they are so fucking lame, they fail to hide that obvious clue.

STOMPY STOMPY STOMPY.


Oh how I love the AtC rants. However, I am a little disappointed in the lack of pictures in stompy boots.

120 now that 67 million people got to see the liar in chief in technicolor....I think a wary eye is being cast at these jobs numbers.

121 AS Seen on ABC News (Local Television Broadcast) Just 1 Minute ago on lead in to jobs report:

"How quickly the political conversation can change from a debate performance to positive job numbers for the President..."

122

Romney needs to provide people a kitchen table discussion of where their money is going now, where it WILL go should Obama be re-elected, and how he and Paul Ryan will improve that outlook. That means taxes, but also things like killing Obamatax (and reduction in benefits costs), gas/energy prices, food prices, interest/savings rates, return to housing appreciation instead of DEpreciation, etc... as well as return of full-time, high-paying jobs.

 

Implicit in the discussion should be how foolish it is for a government to spend far more than  it takes in each and every month. What has everyone done around their kitchen table? Cut expenses.  Mitt could then ask why  federal spending has increased (along with salary and bonuses).

 

The  bottom line is that Washington should be run as a family budget. This opens up the issue of cutting programs.

123 Those 'Obama is a racist' videos sure got knocked out of the way in a hurry.  The kicked around for less than a day.

124 98 Hmmm... and oils sitting around $90 a barrel... so.... WHY?   --------   Refinery fires, maintenance, and preparations for the switchover to the winter blend.  

125 Had some union jackass on a local forum proclaim that govt hiring is a good thing...govt workers pay taxes too!  I thought this state might be going in the right direction....lot of work to do.

126 @118 Dan Rather works at BLS?

127 I'm repeating myself (this time without snark), but only because I really think we need to look at this:

1. Admin makes a big deal about how certain speech led to bad consequences (which was a lie), and then arrests the offender in the dead of night and broadcasts it to the world.

2. Admin comes up with way to forge link between other speech and other bad consequences (which is also a lie)

3. Does anyone else see where this is leading?

128 Woohoo!!!! I'm one of those new jobs created I got a job as a guard at the re-education camps if Obama wins...... Oh wait, I'm not sure if I can say that yet Oops

129 Romney is in Virginia today and Florida tomorrow. He and Ryan had a big rally in VA yesterday. BTW, I read that Obama PACs pulled ad buys from FL and some other contested state in order to shore up their situation in Nevada. Obama is in trouble, folks.

130

Gee, Wolf is just as full of bullshit as Obama.

 

Amazing.

131 I'm sure CNN and MSNBC have explained that this morning. Posted by: Meremortal at October 05, 2012 11:59 AM (1Y+hH) I know it's going to be weird to say this but yes, they have mentioned that 114k =/= UE lowering. I can't believe it myself. The real story of today is everyone calling bullshit on 7.8% Morning Joe called BS, NBC has called bullshit, many others are calling bullshit.

132

108

In suburban Philly, homeowners are keenly aware that their home values have dropped like a rock. For most middle class people, their home represents the biggest chunk of their net worth. A couple who was accustomed to two wage earners who now have to get by on the income of one, while the other looks for work...can't get a HELOC even if the banks were lending since their LTV ratio is too high.

 

I'm sorry, but an economy in a solid recovery does not boast yard sales on every other block every weekend from April thru October. At least that's one thing this economy is good for - people who enjoy rummaging through their neighbors' junk.

133 One of the questions asked by BLS:

Did you sell any item on eBay over the last month?

Am I to infer on this that if you sold one item on eBay,  you are considered employed,  part time?

134 #109  Barry'd better be campaigning far from the mooch.  I saw her scowling face after the debate.  Barry's staying away from the witch anyway he can.

135

When ObamaCare kicks in, the economy will drop like a rock. Then who do we blame?

 

 

136 109 BTW, where is Mitt Romney campaigning today?

Nowhere, that's where. Obama is going to be in Ohio and Virginia and the GOP nominee is taking the day off. Great job, Mitt, great job.

137 >>The bottom line is that Washington should be run as a family budget. Yes. I swear yesterday I almost lost it when the Political Math blog guy truly did not understand why we should ever question PBS funding. WTF? I wish the govt had to do zero-based budgets.

138 Fellas, give this a listen at Coffee and Markets to get some clues about this U-3 number. http://bit.ly/Wv0LOP Something doesn't add up, but Barry got a boost. That's the shitstorm we were served this morning.

Remind him the deficit is over $1 trillion dollars and those new government jobs are being funded by China.

Then ask him if he would like to be paid in Yuan.

140 Purely manufactured bullshit from our lying, corrupt government. And they are so fucking lame, they fail to hide that obvious clue. It is pretty amazing that, even with the decades of practice they've had, these retards can't even lie without being obvious about it. My five year-old constructs more plausible fictions.

That's RACIST

143 People at work are still talking about the debate.

What's that like?

My cow-orkers have been screaming about the evils of Richard Mourdock being allowed to run campaign ads, health insurance (not the government that mandates we purchase certain coverage whether we want it or not), restaurants being allowed to make a profit on soda, and greedy oil speculators.  Open floor plan,...I've got the music on my noise-reducing headphones up too loud to be healthy and I can still hear them.

Have you heard about that Internet thingy?

Under Obama, it doesn't.

 

Next.

147 #145  This is why my daughter has decided she is happier as a dog-groomer than a librarian (of which there are no jobs anyway).  She says the people are nicer and she likes the dogs.

148 BTW, I read that Obama PACs pulled ad buys from FL and some other contested state in order to shore up their situation in Nevada. Holy shit -- if he concedes Florida for Nevada(!), it's over before it even starts. By 11/1, he'll only be running "lady parts" adds in Scranton and Delaware. As "Barack Obama, candidate for President", no doubt.

149 He will therefore attempt to suggest that Romney is behaving unpatriotically, and as an economic sabateur, by simply noting the economy is in a deep lingering recession. THE BALLS ON THESE GUYS! It's like the 2008 campaign never happened.

150 Holy shit -- if he concedes Florida for Nevada(!), it's over before it even starts. ----- It was a PAC, not Obama per se, but yeah I think that's a bad sign for Lightworker.

152 Don't listen to that fool about anything!

153 >The bottom line is that Washington should be run as a family budget.


I am for reducing it to rubble, then bombing the rubble, then plowing the rubble under, and then paving over that

154 Y'all...let The Won give his big ole gummy grin today about saving the nation and knocking down unemployment by three tenths of a point. When real (U-6) unemployment remains 14.7% as it was in August.

He will have this number memorized and stored somewhere in his pea brain, as the campaigning helps reinforce talking points in his addled brain. However, as seen on the debate, he does not understand what the numbers mean. He can only be coached and prepped up to a point. But math does not seem to be his strong suit in his empty suit.

Mitt Romney will explain the numbers to him, in rapid fire Romney Chainsaw, and Barry will fold like the wet blanket he is.

Here are his current talking points for the next debate: "47%" Oops, Mitt has apologized and will have more on this later as he swats it away. Lots of money spent on this one! Will be old and stale by the time they debate again on the 16th.

"I, Buhrock" single-handedly killed Bin Laden and defeated Al Qaeda. Oops! Benghazigate in full-throated roar going on even in MSM and hearing with the wonderful Congressman Issa on October 10th.

"I, Burock" with my magic bean-counter, all by me, myself, and eye, single-handedly cured unemployment and it is the lowest of my preznitcy, it is 7.8%!!! Eleventy!! Now, y'all, today is the 5th. This debate is the 16th, and this will have been picked apart and turned upside down for the American public to understand. But Barry will yap about it anyway as it has been drilled into him and it is all he can possibly cling to in this economy.

Here is a little factoid for you on how wunderbar this 7.8% unemployment is:
Jimmy Carter was president from 1977 until 1981. In the first year of his presidency the unemployment rate decreased to 6.9 percent from 7.6 percent the previous year. During the next two years the rate dropped to 6.0 percent, then 5.8 percent. In 1980, the unemployment rate increased to 7.0 percent. Carter was defeated for re-election that fall by Ronald Reagan. [note by ChristyB, he was defeated. If the magic number is 8%, then this is pretty dang close and THE REAL UNEMPLOYMENT figure has not changed. Sorry for yelling, but 14.7% a whopper of a number and Romney will blast him for this sorry and pathetic football he is attempting to spike. Don't let him]

Blacks unemployed at 13.4%; Hispanics 9.9% Rush is ripping into this now

The Won's other big winner is foreign policy (snicker). Romney will be ready.

155 When ObamaCare kicks in, the economy will drop like a rock. Then who do we blame?



Who else?  BUSH!!!

156 In light of this booming economy, I'm raising  short-term  interest rates to 5%!

157 Obama is in trouble, folks.

Let us pray.

158 #145, I am so sorry.  I am in Texas, though. We had a woman(from Chicago) at our local Target (west houston) bad mouthing the oil industry.  In public.  Everybody from the black checkout high school girl (whose Daddy works for evilhalliburton) to the chinese mom in front of me( a local MD) jumped her ass.  She left her cart and ran away.  The two oil field guys getting beer didn't even have to respond. Parting shot from the Chinese MD.  Don't bring that BS down here.  I had to applaud.

Somebody smarter than me on this blog (which doesn't really narrow things down much, if at all) predicted this magical numberation of the umemployment figure happening right about now in the course of events, and they predicted it several months ago.

So forgive me for not being shocked.

Scoamf must go.

163 If the Obama campaign thinks they'll get much traction from a UE rate of 7.8%, let'em go for that. Romney will just point out that acknowledging this president's failures, and the millions of people desperate for help is the reality this president wants to hide from.

164 Haha wingnuts, that Fiscal Cliff is just a little bump in the road now! 7.8%, bitches!

165

As a Fairfax resident, the ration of Obama:Romney lawn signs is way down when compared to Obama:McCain signs.

If that's any indication, that one of the bluest counties in VA is starting to shade purple, then Obama might be in trouble in VA.

166 Squawk Box had the governor of Maryland on this morning. The video is not as I remember watching in real time but it deserves watching as it seems that the governor introduced the "republicans are obstructionists" meme this morning. To his credit, Joe Kiernan did not allow him to get away with saying it without a fight. http://tinyurl.com/9qfpp2v Oddly enough the Governor said something about public sector employment dragging down private sector employment but I member seeing that public sector unemployment was 4.3% so it makes you wonder what the governor was expecting or told.

167 O'Malley (MD Gov) wants to run for prez in 2016. He's getting a push lately I guess because Lieawatha ain't working out too well for them as "new face."

168 Look, if Romney can magically fix the economy just by talking, lets make him Emperor of the World as well as President of the USA.

Actually China quit buying our T-bills over two years ago and sold the ones they had.  Those jobs are being funded by printing presses.  The treasury sells them to the fed.

171 Dead thread?

172 'Electricity rates will necessarily skyrocket.' Loop it and play it 24/7. This is Obama's plan for you and your children's future. High gas and food isn't enough, he's aiming for your 'tricity next.

173 Obama is a stuttering clusterf*ck of a miserable failure.

174 Target: 5.6% by July 2012 Actual: 7.8%* (gamed) Celebrate!
