Hello Everybody,   
      
   "Unbelievable jobs numbers ... these Chicago guys will do anything   
   .... can't debate so change numbers." - Jack Welch, 10/5/2012, tweet   
      
   Mitt Romney cleaned Barack Obama's clock in the presidential debate   
   the other night.  So what did the president do?  According to Welch,   
   he got his boys from Chicago to cook the books compiled by the Bureau   
   of Labor Statistics (BLS), thus making it appear the economy is   
   improving.   
      
   Think about it.  The jobs report comes out one day after Obama's   
   failed debate attempt, and one month before the presidential election.   
   And with the next jobs report due to come out on November 2, meaning   
   too late to make a difference in the election, it is that 7.8% number   
   that is going to stick in voters heads, thus giving Obama the win   
   in the presidential election.   
      
   What a turnaround for the ecomomy.  In sixty days the unemployment   
   rate has gone from 8.3% to 8.1% and now to 7.8%.  That is a jobs   
   improvement of 6% in just two months' time!  Really!  And to think   
   at this rate what it will be on election day!  Certainly better   
   than Ronald Reagan's miserable 7.2% when he squeaked by Walter   
   Mondale...   
      
   Anyway, with the numbers of unemployed dropping like a rock, President   
   Obama is sure to win re-election.  Just think, by this time next year   
   there will be 0% unemployment in this country, thanks to the boys from   
   Chicago.  I mean, thanks to President Obama (the boys work for him).   
      
   And that is no BLS.
