Breaking News: Unemployment rises to 8.2 with dismal jobs report!!! Obama is FUCKED!!! Front page of Yahoo! PIN

ahhh::

Bad news is always released on FRIDAY.... most people don't care on Friday's

Minor set back. It will go down next month.

You mean- they will revise these numbers down- even lower next month.

The unemployment rate lies within the projection. No big deal.

Don't you mean the unemployment rate is "lies" we all know that so many go uncounted.

I can't wait for Obama to NOT get re-elected and the economy keeps tanking. THEN what are you going to say!

Its a mess for sure, but don't think this changes the elections by any means.

Exactly, are these people gonna freak out like this over every stupid article that is written, and might pertain to this election.

Yeah Presidents have full control of the hiring, the firing, wall street, gasoline prices, interest rates,the weather, etc....

unless you dont have a J.O.B.

True unemployment is over 20%...

No 8.2 falls within the 95% confidence interval. Check it out:

Obama is in no way fucked. He can just state calmly to the camera that the situation has gotten better and not worse, and all those liberals who cannot be bothered to check facts for themselves will just guzzle down this horseshit and vote him back in.

Youre wasting your time. They dont care about facts. Its like watching a feeding frenzy on Shark week.

^ if you believe the Official Numbers you are an IDIOT! they are WAY WORSE in REALITY!!!! more like 22% Unemployed! [link to shadowstats.com]

Fucking lies. 8.2% x 3 is more accurate.

You're right...

They only count those who file for unemployment. This has been going on since Bush was still in office, meaning huge numbers of these people have exhausted their benefits and no longer file.

no, try over 30% if 100 million plus eligible workers are unemployed where the population is 300 million in US

it's simple math, common sense which people don't seem to have anymore. they use PERT formulas and other made up formulas and stats to lie. in college i had to take behavioral statistics and the fist chapter: how to lie with numbers.

every poll on TV even shows you dumb asses the population range they use. 200 hundred people outside of the TV station to represent 300 million. that is called a null population group. laughable.

These data are not used to measure total unemployment because they exclude several important groups. To begin with, not all workers are covered by UI programs. For example, self-employed workers, unpaid family workers, workers in certain not-for-profit organizations, and several other small (primarily seasonal) worker categories are not covered. In addition, the insured unemployed exclude the following:

*Unemployed workers who have exhausted their benefits
*Unemployed workers who have not yet earned benefit rights (such as new entrants or reentrants to the labor force)
*Disqualified workers whose unemployment is considered to have resulted from their own actions rather than from economic conditions; for example, a worker discharged for misconduct on the job
*Otherwise eligible unemployed persons who do not file for benefits

[link to www.bls.gov]

Of course the REAL number is way higher than 8.2! But at least the MSM is admitting the unemployment numbers aren't good, and that can only hurt Obama which is good!

But, but, but...the Obamatards say everything is great, contrary to the obvious fact that a big ass freight train is heading right towards them. If they pulled their head out of O's ass they just might see it.

IT wont asshole. get a conservative in there, slash government spending and regulation and watch the economy BOOM

Yep, the same way he was voted in the first time around. People were fawning over him like he was some sort of Saint. Thing is, even back then the Obama-bots had no fucking idea what kind of change they were going to get because, like any politician, he was purposely nonspecific. The guy could eloquently rattle off three paragraphs of bullshit and when you stopped to analyze what he just said, he said absolutely nothing!

As fucked up as things are right now I still see sandal-wearing douchebags in Prius's with their little "Obama 2012" stickers. I can't help but think, "are you fucking brain dead? Do you bother looking past the end of your nose? Have you even bothered to watch the news for the last 3 years?"

Unfortunately, this is what the screwed-up two party system gets us; a bunch of partisan, ignorant, follow-like-sheep dumb asses.
