After having his hat handed to him and being shown the door by his opponent in a debate performance so poor for Barack Obama that his only recourse was to bully Mitt Romney on the campaign stump the next day, what is a candidate hoping for re-election supposed to do to change the momentum?
Have the Labor Department revise previous unemployment numbers to show that the economy created 86,000 more jobs during the summer than first reported, then conclude that as a result, the unemployment rate has actually fallen below 8.1 per cent in for the first time in almost four years.
What a coincidence. Just like magic.
The Labor Department reported the economy had added 114,000 jobs in September. That is not fast enough to keep pace with population growth, much less reduce the rate of unemployment.
If growth in the human population is creating new workers faster than economic growth is creating new jobs, how is it possible that the unemployment number went down?
And why did it unexpectedly happen in a report issued immediately after an Obama debate performance that left him on the ropes and displayed his weakness to a television audience of 67.2 million?
How about that? A sudden, unexpected, unexplainable change in the jobs numbers making them more favorable to Obama’s re-election aspirations. And it just so happens to occur at a crucial moment in the presidential race.
Mysterious.
The fact is so many people have had such little success finding work they have fallen out the unemployment data pool. How does that mean jobs outlooks are improving? They have been out of work for so long they have reached their 99 week unemployment insurance benefits limit and thus are no longer counted by the Labor Department.
This artificially lowers the unemployment statistics and creates a false impression that “progress” is being made in the single most important number to struggling unemployed Americans.
Can you say false “Hope”?
Of course, this does not deter the “re-elect Barack Obama at any and all costs” members of the “progressive” Party Pravda.
What was their reaction?
Yahoo News headline: “US jobless rate falls to 7.8 pct., 44-month low.” The sub-headline: “US unemployment rate falls to 7.8 pct., lowest since 2009, giving Obama a potential boost.”
First paragraph: “The U.S. unemployment rate fell to 7.8 percent last month, dropping below 8 percent for the first time in nearly four years and giving President Barack Obama a potential boost with the election a month away.”
If this is not intended solely to make Obama look good at precisely the moment his campaign hits rock bottom, then Hugh Hefner is a virgin.

Forget the unemployment B.S. numbers-For the first time in four years someone with greater intellect and Class slammed 'Barry' to the Mat and more than 67 million people saw it . Thats whats important !!!! Who looked more Presidential ?????."
Not really. Have you forgotten at the "White House Healthcare Summit," when Mitt's running mate cleaned Barry Soetoro's clock?
The truly SAD part of this latest "revelation" on the jobs numbers as Liberal media race to Spin up the "Good News on unemployment" IS that it clearly shows ALL OF US ..... just How Stupid THEY think WE are ...... ( and we get a REAL CHANCE to show them they are WRONG on Nov. 6, 2012.)
Le't DO IT ..... Let's SHOW 'EM ........ We are NOT that stupid..... and THEY are SOoooo Wrong ! (Again)
Don't worry, REAL Americans have a principle AGAINST people who lie and cheat to win.
So, these lies to fudge the job numbers will actually bite Obama in the hind parts ....... American people (except Liberal sycophants) are not fooled by this charade.
These doctored unemployment #s will not fool voters for a second! Folks been hurting for 4 years and they know alot of friends&family that are also struggling so does corrupt team Obama really think we the people wouldn't hear it ? feel it? know it? lf things were turning around in our families& communities? They REALLY think we are a bunch of morons!That can be so easily fooled!
They even lie with the unemployment numbers. No one is working and the ones that exhausted all their benefits they do not count as unemployment.
yes, how can one show 8.3 to 8.1 and a .5% drop w/only 144K jobs. ridiculous.
i have always said that about his nose.

Lies, smoke, and mirrors with creative math thrown in to the mix is more likely: 114,000 jobs as claimed or 113,000 jobs estimated does not add up to a drop in unemployment to 7.8% from 8.1% especially since many have just given up and are no longer looking. Pinnochio's nose is growing longer!!!!.
