Obama's Jobs Bounce

Full story: 538dotcom

It looks as though Barack Obama may already be deriving some political benefit from the release of last week's favorable jobs report .

What I find most amusing is that over the last few weeks the usual suspect(s) who over the last 2 years eagerly posted President Obama’s approval rating numbers have not been putting those numbers up and elaborating on them…

President Obama single-handedly finding and killing Osama bin Laden coupled with him single-handedly saving the economy from falling off a cliff is producing the kind of support from the American people that will turn into an electoral landslide victory for his second term. Patriotic Americans happily welcome this great news on the economy and unemployment, and we hope that things continue to improve.

I see there was no mention of the Census adjustment to the unemployment rate.

What a surprise.

The only things bouncing are the rubber books the Kenyan's cooking.

From BLS:
December 2008, 135 Million people working.
January 2012, 130 Million people working.
5 million jobs lost by the Kenyan lizard.

And ....

Record 1.2 Million People Fall Out Of Labor Force In One Month,
Labor Force Participation Rate Tumbles To Fresh 30 Year Low
February 3, 2012, Zerohedge.com
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/record-12-milli... -

A month ago, we joked when we said that for Obama to get the unemployment rate to negative by election time, all he has to do is to crush the labor force participation rate to about 55%.

Looks like the good folks at the BLS heard us: it appears that the people not in the labor force exploded by an unprecedented record 1.2 million. No, that's not a typo: 1.2 million people dropped out of the labor force in one month!

So as the labor force increased from 153.9 million to 154.4 million, the non institutional population increased by 242.3 million meaning, those not in the labor force surged from 86.7 million to 87.9 million. Which means that the civilian labor force tumbled to a fresh 30 YEAR LOW of 63.7% as the BLS is seriously planning on eliminating nearly half of the available labor pool from the unemployment calculation.

The food stamp president vote buying spree has disgusted America. The Kenyan lizard's communist coup is an abject failure.

INVESTOR’S BUSINESS DAILY: As Obama Crows, Real Story Is 10.5 Mil Jobs Deficit.

Obama likes to blame his predecessor for this. And true enough, 4.4 million jobs disappeared during the 2007-08 panic. But after Obama took office, an additional 4.3 million jobs disappeared. So when Obama says “we’ve added 3.7 million new jobs,” he’s not giving you the full story.

We are still 5.6 million jobs below where we were at the peak in 2007. Add to that the 4.9 million new jobs that would have had to be created just to soak up new entrants into the workforce, and all told we have a jobs deficit of 10.5 million.

There was an unexplained 2% drop in black youth unemployment from Dec to Jan. The Kenyan lizard is lying to get black leaders off his back.

Why the official 8.3 percent unemployment rate is a phony number—and what it means for Obama’s reelection...

By James Pethokoukis
February 3, 2012, 11:47 am

The January jobs report is out and it seems pretty strong, at least superficially. The unemployment rate fell to 8.3 percent from 8.5 percent, the lowest rate since February 2009. And the economy added 243,000 jobs, the most since April 2011.

But does anyone believe an “official” unemployment rate of 8.3 percent really gives an accurate picture of the U.S. labor market? Even though the unemployment rate fell, so did the labor force participation rate (as more Americans became discouraged and gave up looking for work). Here’s what that means:

1. If the size of the U.S. labor force as a share of the total population was the same as it was when Barack Obama took office—65.7 percent then vs. 63.7 percent today—the U-3 unemployment rate would be 11.0 percent.

2. But let’s not go all the way back to January 2009. In January 2011, the unemployment rate was 9.1 percent with a participation rate of 64.2 percent. If that were the participation rate today, the unemployment rate would be 8.9 percent, instead of 8.3 percent. As an analysis from Hamilton Place Strategies concludes,“Most of the shift of the past year is due not to the improvement in the labor market, but the continued drop in participation in the labor force.”

Job numbers are faked By Obama admin. Obama has added more debt in 3 years than all other presidents combined in history. Obama I say the guys a turd.Obama said "change America can believe in, " he didn't mean in a month or two! It has been 3 years since the Obama Change Machine has been in operation. Of course he did not say whether it would be good change or bad change! This is disastrous change that wrecked the economy. Let us not forget the stimulus bill that helped dig us into this economic mess and that failed also. Just Say no more and vote in anyone else but loser fibber Obama.The heck with the debate and bad news sit back and watch a free movie from Cheney. befor Obama puts a tax on free movies lol. http://youtu.be/0ppCMc0rjhY

The President out flanking the right by taking an issue off the table that they were screaming and crying fake tears over is politically brilliant. Maybe that’s one of the reasons why 20% of republicans are planning on voting for President Obama this November:

And that’s why Obama’s poll numbers have been improving over the last few months… and maybe that is why the people who usually post his approval ratings, haven’t; LOL.

Another example of your claim that President Obama is an iron fisted dictator? More proof that the Right cares nothing abiut real issues. They only care about attacking the President. But you are doing a great job of demonstrating the mindlessness of the Republican Party.

As I watched President Obama announce his decision on the birth control/religious institution issue it struck me how poised, direct and clam his demeanor was. As he explained the issue contrasting religious liberty and women health; and even as he threw in his own personal work for Catholic Parishes in poor neighborhoods where his salary was funded by a grant from an arm of the Catholic Church, he was able to once again reiterate that he’s a devote Christian (pouring cold water on those who need to try and convince people that he’s a secret Muslim), that he once worked for the Catholic Church, and that he is a champion for women’s rights, health and their freedom of choice.

But you’re too stupid and bitter to see that this has given him another opening to look like the adult in the room; the parent who steps into a messy room full of out of control kids and calmly says,“Quite down, clean up this mess and go to bed”… LOL.

Bullshit, falsey! He backed off due to the millions of Catholic votes he was going to lose and you know it. How long did it take your little club to write all this crap? Bet you met for hours.
Don't forget the flip side of you and swamps message, they are moderate democrats voting for Romney. Again, you spin is easy to disprove!! You write more fiction than Agatha Christie!! LMAO

President Barack Obama has given himself a black eye that could cause Catholics to avoid voting for him in a 2012 re-election bid, the bishop leading Catholics in western Iowa said.

There was a relatively silent campaign from August 2011 to January 2012 to exempt religious-affiliated groups from an upcoming requirement in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Now, Roman Catholic Church of the Diocese of Sioux City Bishop R. Walker Nickless said, Catholic officials will be more open about pushing back on a federal requirement that nearly all employers, including church-affiliated groups, have to provide employee health care plans that include contraception, sterilization and drugs that have the ability to be abortifacient.
