“…42 consecutive months with the unemployment rate above eight percent.”
The Obama Jobs Recovery Picture Book
But wait! There’s more!
the Birth Death adjustment, which adds to the NSA Print to get to the final number, was +52k. How does this compare to July 2011? It is about 1000% higher: the last B/D adjustment was a tiny +5K! In other words, of the 163,000 jobs “added”, 429,000 was based on purely statistical fudging.
a know if he hadn’t inherit’ed bush’s problems he could had been a contender.
Tongue out of cheek now.
Pardonee moi, auto correct is a pain in the Tuckus.
Hey, without zoero’s steady hand it would have been twice as bad. He saved millions of jobs dontcha know?
Racists.

Apparently when you add discouraged and underemployment the number in some states including Arizona and California is over 20%.
Also the US recovery from the ’08 recession has been slower even than that of Japan in the 90’s
Don’t conclude that because the facts are against Obama, that he will lose the election.
Obama doesn’t operate within reality but within an imaginary world. This is one that he manipulates to control the results he wants. He’s done this all his life, and it’s been an incredibly successful tactic.
He’ll generate some emotional crisis, whether it be Obama-as-victim, or the US-as-victim, or Romney-as-evil, (he’s used all of these already) but, he’ll set up some operation within this Imaginary World to manipulate the electorate.
ET, I’m afraid there’s more truth to your comments than many realize.

“ET, I’m afraid there’s more truth to your comments than many realize.”
I concur…
Keeping FF in mind, it occurred to me that for an “october surprise” a false flag assinnation is logical. Is OBOZO up to taking a bullet?
Obamba needs to keep the borders open so that he can import millions more illiterate Third World peoples to do those jobs American’s won’t do. When those jobs are full up they can collect welfare for the anchor babies to keep Obamba Care and JP Morgan Welfare Card Company running in extra bonus monies.
Leaving the borders open also allows Obamba to ship tens of thousands of guns to Mexican drug cartels so that they can keep the Liberal drug flow and CIA/ FBI/ ATF/ ICE/ Homeland Security/ FEMA running smoothly while blaming the Constitutional Second Amendment for killing little brown people.
It’s tough work running a mob, there are always other contenders. Obamba is doing the best he can with an Affirmative Action Harvard degree and a Marxist community organizer resume.
Yup it’s very likely he will be re-elected for a second term. The US has declined that far as an Empire Nation the next step will be a big bloody Nobel Peace Prize war.
Good visual representation of the deep hole we are now just digging ourselves out of…
Obama is done. Remember that Unemployment is a lagging indicator. We knew these jobs reports were coming back in March. What we know now is that come the October jobs report before the election in November, that things are falling apart in a severe way. Back in March you could argue that things werent that bad, that the growth wasnt a result of a warm winter and seasonal adjustments, now there is nothing positive coming out of the leading indicators.
Mark, we will also be getting a flood of layoff notices coming from budget sequestration during the fall. This is going to make some serious problems for the President. At the moment, the media is trying to blame the House for this, but Obama has done nothing to break the deadlock.
If after all this Americans still re-elect Obama in November, they will truly deserve all the government they will get.
cgh: If after all this Americans still re-elect Obama in November, they will truly deserve all the government they will get.
Problem is, it isn’t necessarily American people voting, or more specifically live american people.
In BO’s world, a vote from a dog, cat, illegal, deadman, ET, etc all count the same!
The election will be very close. Probably tighter than Bush/Gore with the electoral college deciding the outcome.
Based on what he has done Obama should be run out of office.
Where are the votes going to come from? He maxed out his vote potential in 2008. There has to be slippage this time.
The womens vote is holding for him and may even increase as Romney has very little appeal to female voters.
I am pretty sure that some emotional crisis will be manufactured in September or more likely mid-October, where we’ll be informed that a right-wing “extremists” plotted harm to the POTUS and a gullible Joe Public will take it hook, line and sinker. Emotional vote will follow and it’s actually US of A as a country that will be economically assassinated in the next 4 years. Yes, I am that pessimistic.

from the comments
If Obama suggests his job creating performance is better than Romney’s then he invites a critical view of his own performance.
People have become jaded over wild, frothing speculation about “right-wing extremists”. This isn’t the 90’s and the Clinton years any more. If they had a hard time blaming the movie massacre on the Tea Party, they won’t have much luck pinning anything else on the right either. And they only have to look at Twitter feeds to see who are the rioters and window-breakers.
No bias, cursory understanding or rush to judgement here on the part of the MSM: they’ve been focusing in on the 163,000 gain number, and magically concluding that it’s good for Obama.
But, the takeaway from Zerohedge is that the actual jobs total could be as high as 133,245 million (163,000 gain vs. June) or as low as 132,816 million (266,000 loss vs. June), implying a range of 429,000 million. So, just so we can understand the probability of the real jobs number being 133,245 million as claimed, perhaps the BLS and/or the media could provide us with the basis of the seasonal and the birth death adjustments (you know, “We report. You decide”?).
There are alot of good talking points in both these links — they need to be distilled quickly, but carefully by the Romney camp and brought into circulation. I’d add another item — Statistics Canada said a month or two back that if Canada reported its jobless rate the way the US does, our rate would be about a point lower: why not have Romney make a point like that (in reverse, obviously)?
Incidentally, it looks to me that the June to July drop (reported by Zerohedge) should be 0.214 million, rather than 1.248 million (133,082 million – 132,868 million = 0.214 million). Simple misordering of the numbers by accident, perhaps, but it should be checked and if necessary fixed before he gets a comment (from some Democrat) like “three quarters of your numbers are wrong…”
It’s clearly Bush’s fault and it’s racist to claim otherwise.
Aside from building a bigger government, has Obama lifted a finger to help the – ahem- proles?
Hide the Decline!
