Latest Obama effort: Yardsale for Obama

[racrguy]

There are many right here on this board, though I doubt they have the balls to admit it.

<------ voting for Obama.

May Obummer rot in hell.

I wouldn't be surprised if the unemployment rate, when reported in November, just in time for election day, is sub 7.5% (see, we're making PROGRESS!).

Not only are most polls oversampling Democrats, most polls are 5-8 points from 100%, which usually go toward the challenger come election day, and a lot of them are also oversampling women.

They won't have released the jobs numbers for November in time for the election. Barry will try to push October's numbers down, so he can get a bump from that. Here's a nice little economic calendar, if you want to know how the cycle of economic reports runs:

You misunderstood me. The numbers for October will be reported in November, just in time for election day. The numbers for November won't be available until the first Friday of December.

It just has to be under 8%, no president has ever been re-elected with it over 8% so he is going to pressure them to get it under there. Problem is, they will have to lie their asses off to do it. It will be blatant.

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am a highly placed Kenyan with control of over $3.5 trillion of u.s. dollars in spending. I am requesting utmost confidence in this transaction. I request your assistance in forgiving your mortgage and student loan debts and providing you with unlimited food stamps and extended welfare and amnesty.

I am ready to transfer the funds and that is where your assistance is greatly needed. I must be re elected before I can complete this transfer and require just a donation of $200 to $500 to my re election campaign.

Please reply urgently,

Barack Obama

He is getting murdered by Romney on the fundraising front and it is sad but true but generally the guy who raises the most money wins. I am most amused by the "polls" that I keep reading about, where Obama is "neck and neck" with Romney. Then you read the fine print at the bottom and they sampled a group that consisted of 48/28/24, Democrats, Republicans and Independents respectively.

Then you saw last week that Bernanke dropped more money from a helicopter. That is no coincidence, Romney has already said that Ben is fired if he wins.

These clowns are going to pull out all the stops. Look for a 7.9% unemployment rate in October, just like magic, the labor force participation rate will probably be the lowest since The War of 1812 or something like that. lol

Hmmmm....

Definitely some number fudging going on. "114k jobs added" (we all know that will be revised to somewhere around 95k. That does not equal a .3% bump in the numbers. What's sad is the revised numbers they'll put out in two weeks or so will have the number somewhere between 8 and 8.1 percent, but will not get reported on. Then the numbers released in November will probably be even better than the currently reported 7.8%.

Yeah. It's horseshit.

[Geor!]

So THIS is how they got that number


Overall, this was a solid report.
Nonfarm payrolls came in right in line with estimates at 114K, but the unemployment rate tumbled to 7.8 percent from 8.1 percent last month.
What's really good is that last month's number was revised upward to 142K from 96K.
July was also revised up by 41K.
Private payrolls came in at 104K, lower than expectations of 130K. Last month's private payrolls number was revised down to 97K from 103K.
Here's key text from the report:
The unemployment rate decreased to 7.8 percent in September, and total nonfarm
payroll employment rose by 114,000, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported
today. Employment increased in health care and in transportation and warehousing
but changed little in most other major industries.

Household Survey Data

The unemployment rate declined by 0.3 percentage point to 7.8 percent in September.
For the first 8 months of the year, the rate held within a narrow range of 8.1
and 8.3 percent. The number of unemployed persons, at 12.1 million, decreased by
456,000 in September. (See table A-1.)

Among the major worker groups, the unemployment rates for adult men (7.3 percent),
adult women (7.0 percent), and whites (7.0 percent) declined over the month.
The unemployment rates for teenagers (23.7 percent), blacks (13.4 percent), and
Hispanics (9.9 percent) were little changed. The jobless rate for Asians, at
4.8 percent (not seasonally adjusted), fell over the year. (See tables A-1, A-2,
and A-3.)

In September, the number of job losers and persons who completed temporary jobs
decreased by 468,000 to 6.5 million. (See table A-11.)

The number of persons unemployed for less than 5 weeks declined by 302,000 over
the month to 2.5 million. The number of long-term unemployed (those jobless for
27 weeks or more) was little changed at 4.8 million and accounted for 40.1
percent of the unemployed. (See table A-12.)

Total employment rose by 873,000 in September, following 3 months of little
change. The employment-population ratio increased by 0.4 percentage point to
58.7 percent, after edging down in the prior 2 months. The overall trend in
the employment-population ratio for this year has been flat. The civilian labor
force rose by 418,000 to 155.1 million in September, while the labor force
participation rate was little changed at 63.6 percent. (See table A-1.)
More to come...
