Falling below the magic 8% thus ensuring re-election for the marxist. Of course it's bogus but not for the masses. Off to buy black guns n' ammo...

If I'm hearing this correctly the household survey is saying 400K more employed since Aug?

That's how they cooked the books by rewriting the equation. Now if you work at home (with no specificity) then you are employed. Also, with only 114K real jobs created, now way the unemployment rate fell by that much. It doesn't matter. the nimbers will be all over the news for the great unwashed to swallow hook, line and sinker. Just put in a big order at Widener's for 7.62X51..

Falling below the magic 8% thus ensuring re-election for the marxist. I was listening to Rush a while back and he was talking about the unemployment numbers and he said that after the initial report, a few days later they were quietly revised upward. He quoted for the past year, I think, and it was the same every week. Almost nothing in the news about the revision. miles
Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.

jorgeI, you beat me on this one. Undoubtedly FUZZY MATH such as an increase in those who dropped out looking for a job. I wonder what the U6 number is.
The Liars nose grew another inch today. I'm sure this full court press to re-elect the liar in chief will be fleshed out further as the day goes on.
Can't wait til Romney and Ryan comment on this development.
This is also an attempt to beat the thought that no president has been re-elected with the an unemployment rate greater than 8%.

I think they are smart enough to keep their mouths shut about it.They should let their "friends" tell the tale.

Figures don't lie but, liars figure.
Gas jumped 22 cents yesterday to $4.43 9/10. There goes any recovery we'd hoped for.

Quite a coincidence, the timing of this sure-to-be-dominant news story >wink, wink, wink<
Played like a fiddle, the template is now clear. The Dems are engaged in a fierce campaign to charge Romney with Obama's sins - untruthfullness. Obama kept his cards close, Romney played his, and now the press will carry the day.
Maddening, but brilliant.
My sentence went from four-years, to eight-years to life, and I committed no crime.

Obama has a long ways to go. It was at 5% when he took over. And the TRUE number is just over 11%. Gunner

By noon today, the country will believe it's "under 8%". The country will also be ignorant as to how that number was achieved, and there are shenanigans beyond comparison involed - but, under 8%, and so it is written.

Shadowstats show the figure from about 15% to 23%. I have zero doubt that your figure is closer to true than what was released today.

I am not ready to throw in the towel. The Romney campaign is a much better organized bunch than Obama's. Wednesday night showed us that. I am much more confident now than I was a few days ago that news like this will be properly handled.
The best case scenario is an improving economy with a Romney win.

Those that care about the unemployment number have already made up their minds.
Those that can be swayed will be more interested in the debates.
For most voters, it's not the words or the numbers that count. It's the smile and the warm, fuzzy feeling you either get or you don't get from the candidate.
It's all personality, from this point on.

Everything you say is accurate, but nobody will see it. The morons (read: most of the 47%) will swallow this hook line and sinker, then move on to the fantasy of the brainless, weekend football, Facebook, video games, etc. This number IS the "October Surprise" the democraps pull before every election. I just listened to the news on the radio here on a conservative radio station and the lead story was "Good news for the Administration."... BOHICA.

Will this get any press when it is quietly revised downward next week?
