Obama Administration - 30 Months of Comment on Employment - FUNNY yet sad!

LOL that is funny coming from Obama's main propagandist on this forum. The fact is government has made the cost of doing business very high in the USA.

The government has nothing to do with it...companies go overseas for cheap labor,no regulations and of course keep money from being taxed, obviously they have no allegiance to America it's so unpatriotic! They expect Americans to buy their goods tho...and then whine and whine about taxes, GOP covers for them by making government the enemy.

When the Bureau of Labor Statistics announced the nation's latest national employment figures Friday, the Obama administration stressed that people should not "read too much" into the data.

Mitt Romney's campaign pounced, and flagged the fact that the White House has repeated that same line nearly every month since November 2009.

See below for the roundup of articles from WhiteHouse.gov that Romney's campaign posted on its site. In many of the posts, the authors for the administration do acknowledge that they repeat themselves:

Obama administration repeats same jobs line

Liberals should be ashamed and embarrassed they support this corrupt and incompetent administration. Instead the talking point they come running in here with from Daily Kos is "We can't change horses mid steam", as if somehow this hollow emotional rhetoric and attempt at conjuring up images is going to put a dent in reality.

Obama = Worst President in American History

Obviously Obama is correct. The initial jobless numbers have a margin of error over 50%. Can you imagine anyone getting all excited about, e.g. an election poll that had a margin of error of over 50%?

Huh? What 50% are you talking about? They are always "adjusted", and always UPWARD, but that makes each new amount seem better using the new low-balled "estimated" number against the prior weeks "real" adjusted number. Yes they can!

Incorrect, of course. The effective tax rate on corporations here (IOW, what matters) is in the lower 25% of OECD countries.

Why is so much of the conservative agenda based on outright lies?

Much of U.S. gov't imposed costs on business are NOT in the form of taxes, they are in the form of UNFUNDED mandates that simply impose DIRECT costs on the businesses yet are NOT counted as a tax. The EPA has mandated no more coal fired electric power plants, yet that somehow is not seen as a 100% tax on them. Hmm...

It's just a fact, but it's good that it amuses you. Oh reality -- you so funny! :lol:

See the posted link to understand the figure. And for ****'s sake, of course the numbers are not ALWAYS adjusted in one direction. Can you folks really be this out of touch with reality?

If the goal was to inflate jobs creation then they would always report a higher number of initial jobs and then adjust it DOWN later, as the later adjustments get far less attention than the initial reports.

The claim was about taxes, and it was false.

And here's another false claim: "EPA has mandated no more coal fired electric power plants...."
