Basically, it would just be another lame attempt to skew the numbers in favor of the dictator ion chief. Obama has dropped the ball on unemployment just as he has dropped he ball in anything he has touched.

It won't happen, the debt won't be smaller, and Obama won't be re elected.

I can't believe ANYONE would re-elect Oslime!
But, his policies will prevent unemployment droping, except by the tricks his administration is using to show it at 8.2% when everyone knows it is really over 20% Unemployment.

I'd have to wait for the 'correct' rate the following week! For the past 2+ years, they've corrected and 'upped' the unemployment rate in following weeks, which MSM ignores!

It wouldn't affect my vote because the official unemployment number is a lie. If it were to go down like that, it would probably mean we had hit bottom and that more people would be out of work with no benefits.

That has about as much chance of happening as me winning the lottery six months in a row.

Unless, of course, the media flat-out lies about the unemployment rate "going down 3 points."

They have been lying all along - the true unemployment rate is much higher than reported.

Which will never happen. But American's are very short sighted and I think a majority of them really have no clue just how dangerous this man really is and would vote for him as long as things appeared to be improving. Far too many of them already think things are better when every measure shows things are a lot worse than the day he took office.

It will be going down as those falling from the ranks of paid unemployment will no longer count as unemployed...even without jobs. Bet those people will be voting November.

I dont like the guy but if he really got that done, then Romney could not campaign on his (limited) strengths.

If IF in this case were a sign the Hollywood sign would dwarf in comparison. Trying to base the election on jobs and economy alone isn't enough.
His:
foreign policies- suck
support of Israel- sucks (back stabbing SOB)
Social policies- suck
energy policies- suck AND blow
immigration policies- elsucko

But sure, mr. preezy, go ahead and run on your economic policies, good luck with that, beeotch!

LOL why is it okay for liberals to be a one percenter and no one else. The reason liberals/democrats are called 1%er's is because they only give 1% of their income to charities. Paaaathetic!
