How Obama Parses Words

Yes, 96,000 American jobs were added in August, which Obama admin appraises
as a drop in unemployment, but when one figures in the 368,000
who stopped looking for work , the unemployment rate really rises to 8.4%, according
to the US Bureau of Labor Statistic and Daily Mail.Most, mainstream media, like the
Obama administration
has not reported the full facts.

The 69.9 per cent labor force participation rate for men is at lowest level recorded
since the US government began tracking it in 1948

According to James Pethokoukis of the American Enterprise Institute, the unemployment
rate would be 11.2 per cent if the labour force participation rate had remained what it
was when Obama took office in January 2009. The U.S. Labour Department also said that
41,000 fewer jobs were created in June and July than previously reported.

President Barack Obama was made aware of the figures before he took the stage to deliver
his prime-time address at the Democratic convention on Thursday night, which
could account for his sometimes grim demeanour as he spoke, according to Daily Mail
Obama's address came at Democratic Convention thrusday, Sept 6, which wasswitched from a
74,000-seater stadium to a 20,000-seater arena
ostensibly because of the weather but amid indications there were problems filling seats,
brought the three-day democratic convention to a close.

A 'phantom' roll call early in Thursday's proceedings to put back 'God' and pro-Israel sentiment
in the protocol after political pressure, took three votes, all of which appeared to show
anti-God sentiment in the majority - not the two-thirds 'pro-go ' majority needed.
Yet, it was, obviously , predetermined to keep
God in the platform as an immediate affirmative or God was finally given
after the third voting. A hail of boos followed the change.
President Obama, seeking to quell criticism from Republicans and pro-Israel groups,  directed his party to restore language declaring Jerusalem Israel’s capital:

Stalling: The growth of new jobs has taken a significant dip compared to the beginning of the year
Hourly pay fell
386,ooo dropped out of labor force,
meaning 96,000 fewer working is meaningingless
96 mill men working is the lowest since 1948

23 months in a row with unemployment above 8 %.

Remember admin promised that if we passed stimulus bill
unemployment would be in the 5%

23 mil underemployed
when you add in those who ga e up, it would be 14%
= 14% of people not working

Obama and media only tell you that the unemployment is down
without looking at these other important factors...

A scorecard on the economy under Barack Obama

By Louis Jacobson
Published on Friday, June 1st, 2012 at 4:01 p.m.

See how the economy has changed since Obama was elected in 2008.

In the hotly contested presidential campaign between President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney there is one undisputed point: the central issue is the state of the Americaneconomy.

End of agreement.

Were the country’s economic troubles deeper than expected when Obama took office in January 2009? Were his ideas and actions effective in righting the nation’s economic ship? Are things getting better? If so, are they getting better fast enough?

From both parties, the political rhetoric will be contentious for the next five months and, by its very nature, oversimplified. But below the fury there are objective metrics as to how the economy has performed on Obama’s watch and where it stands today.

PolitiFact.com, the independent fact-checking operation of the Tampa Bay Times, has produced a scorecard — key economic measures to track where the economy stood a year before Obama took office, where it was when he assumed power and how it has trended through May 2012.

We’ve gathered statistics for everything from corporate profits to the price of ground chuck. To help you see which ones are up or down, we’ve shaded most of the statistics from white (the most positive number) to dark (the least positive).  We offer figures for 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012 — either an annual figure for the whole year or the monthly figure for January of that year. We also added a column for the most recent figures available.

Some analysis suggests the mixed record that most Americans feel:

• Gasoline prices, the rate of poverty, food stamp use and the federal debt are worse today than when the president took office.

• The unemployment rate, personal income and the stock market turned worse but are improving.

• Corporate profits, mortgage rates and the level of consumer debt are better today.

But the point of the scorecard is for you, the voters and consumers of political speech, to have factual measures by which to judge what you hear. The perspective you bring to it is all yours.

About these charts

To help you see how the numbers trend, we’ve shaded the statistics from white (the most positive number) to dark (the least positive). We haven’t shaded the numbers for government jobs because of differing opinions over whether more government employment is helpful to the economy.
