And add to the deficit...

In the middle of syndicated columnist Jonah Goldberg's piece about "Newtzilla" in yesterday's Fresno Bee is this humorous description of the Mittster:

"For whatever reason, Romney seems like a creature put on Earth to blend in with the humans and report back what he finds. He clearly likes earthlings, and they in turn find him pleasant enough and surprisingly lifelike."

While people are caught up celebrating today's BLS report that the official unemployment rate went down from 8.5% to 8.3%, (including our own Rod Kaufman, who says Anybody in their right mind can see it's improving , I do feel bad about spoiling the fun.

I'll try to make this as simple as possible with step by step instructions because I have read in these threads that some of our members (like Richard Davis ) are quite slow on the uptake.

Please refer to the latest BLS report here:
http://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/empsit.pdf

Please open the report to Table B-1 (ctrl-f, type "Table B-1" in the search field, hit Enter key)

Refer to the top row of the chart, which is the total non-farm employment summary data.

See the Nov. 2011 total employment number. 133.172 million
See the Jan. 2012 total employment number. 130.263 million

Subtract January from November and get -2.908 million jobs. That's 2.9 million more people who have lost jobs since November.

Now look at the far right column. Your dear leaders at the BLS have adjusted that to a net increase of 243,000 jobs.

Like magic, the unemployment rate has gone down to 8.3%.

Call that good news if you want. It's your mind and your choice.

Well, it's good news if you are a federal employee because their employment is up slightly, so all is good in Washington. Which is funny, because they report on the news that they have shed jobs, but the table shows that they have increased federal jobs. It's an alternate reality, I guess.

Of course, this 8.3% doesn't include the 5 million or so additional people that have dropped out of the job market, meaning there are 159 million in the labor force, not 154 million that the BLS is using. So the real unemployment in January rose from 11.2% to 11.5%.

It'a all class all the time from the Dimmicats. This is the senior ranking House member on the Financial Services Committee? What an embarrassment she is, to the Democrats and to America. Again. Is she really any different than Hugo Chavez and his speech about Bush and his smell of sulfur? Well, I'll give her this much credit: unlike the outgoing ranking member of the Financial Services Committee, she didn't have a gay prostitution ring being run out of her apartment. So that's an improvement, right?

LOL, some candidates will promise ANYTHING to get elected, knowing that there are plenty of ignorant voters to believe it and vote for them:

Romney paid homage to the NRA today. Blasting Obama for an attack on America's freedoms, thundering away at him with righteous indignation.
Trouble is, Romney has done more to oppose gun rights than Obama!
He opposed the right to own an assault rifle, plainly stating the weapon is used only to hunt and kill people. (He must have been off his meds). Then, he falsely claimed the NRA had endorsed him in a previous election. Next, he backtracked and acknowledged it wasn't true.(Must have been back on his meds).
The NRA's response to these revelations? "Nobody's perfect"!!!
Bush! Bush voters!!!

I've always avoided stories about Frank Marshall Davis, probably because his porno background was disturbing and worse. If only Obama's mentor was just a normal Marxist. But this story jibes with a long-felt suspicion that B.O. Sr. was only used to legitimize Dunham's child and was not Barry's biological father.

There is no doubt that these are pics of Stanley Ann Dunham, and these are new ones from the ones that came out a few years ago.

Gilbert reports he has recently discovered racy photos in vintage fetish and bondage magazines of Obama’s mother, Stanley Ann Dunham, that he believes were taken by Davis. The photos, he says, bolster his belief that Dunham had an intimate relationship with Davis.

Gilbert has given WND a preview of a new “Breaking News� page on his documentary’s website titled “The Intimate Ann Dunham-Frank Marshall Davis Relationship.� On the page, he presents a video that shows some of the 30-plus pin-up photographs he believes Davis took of Obama’s young mother and other models in his home at 2994 Kalihi Street in Honolulu, Hawaii.
