Don't forget to mention that pump prices have doubled under Obama's pathetic "leadership. They were $1.83 a gallon when this incompetent was sworn in. The price in California jumped 20 cents last night to average $4.49.
But they "understand the importance of high taxes".

The all time highest gasoline price record is still held by George Worst Bush!

the state of the economy most american's are aware of.....aware that in a fiat system where we pay others to grow/raise our
food supply, aware that in a fiat system where we pay others to clean/deliver our water supply, aware that in a fiat system
where we pay others to deliver energy sources, aware that in a fiat system we fail to have our basic needs able to be met by
ourselves independently or by barter and therefore have been shorted straw for the bricks, which build the kings castles as
required by the Fabians,,,,

American's understand a lot more than you think DVOR....the problem is the lack of language to express themselves, which will
causes gnashing of teeth.....47%

then there are the rest who say, "It'll all work out, even if I die America will live on.".....47%

94%....so tell me where the other 6% went


...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......

The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.


STOP BEING GOOD DEMOCRATS---STOP BEING GOOD REPUBLICANS--START BEING GOOD AMERICANS

"Historically, there has been no relationship at all between the unemployment rate on Election Day and the
incumbent's performance. However, there has been a relationship between the change in the unemployment
rate in the months leading up to the election and how well the incumbent does.
The decline in unemployment under Mr. Obama this year since December is the largest in an election year
since Ronald Reagan's re-election bid, when it declined to 7.3 percent in Sept. 1984 from 8.3 percent in
Dec. 1983."

The current data "would project a narrow re-election for Mr. Obama by about 3 percentage points -- similar
to Mr. Bush's margin over John Kerry in 2004. Especially with the Friday jobs report, the economic numbers
now seem just strong enough to make the incumbent a favorite for re-election, based on the way the public
has evaluated their presidents historically."

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — Gas prices go up.

Consumer frustration also goes up.

What goes up, must come down. But in the meantime, consumers try to cope.

Southern Californians are paying the highest prices in the nation currently. And experts say that pain at the pump will last a little while longer.

Find The Lowest Gas Prices Near You

One station in Calabasas is charging the highest rate in LA County — nearly $6 for a gallon.

Reporting for CBS2 and KCAL9, Amanda Burden went to the station and called it a virtual ghost town.

She said cars peeled in but peeled right out when they saw the sign for $5.79 a gallon for regular. Said one customer, “I can’t believe this! $5.79 a gallon? Oh my God!”

Said another, “Crap! I’ve never seen it so high. This is unbelievable.”

It gets worse. Super costs $5.99.

Tanya Barkhordar and her family own Low-P Gas. They had to close shop Wednesday when they ran out of fuel and couldn’t get another delivery from refineries.

Says Barkhordar, “They were telling us there was no gas in the last 48 hours. We couldn’t get gas in on Tuesday if we wanted to.”

Sounds like someone is trying to panic the public into stocking up on expensive gas before the price drops.

Jack Welch got into tiff with MSNBC host Chris Matthews, who said:
"It must be embarrassing for you to do a tweet now with the power you once had."
Matthews went on to ask Welch if he "talked to any economists."

Welch responded: "I know that these numbers are gathered by a series of wild assumptions."

The argument escalated Matthews asking Welch,
"Do you want to take that back?  This is an assertion that there was jimmying with these numbers."

Welch laughed and Matthews shot back "It's not funny, Jack!"

Welch is Manipulating the Numbers

Former General Electric CEO Jack Welch admitted to Hardball host Chris
Matthews Friday that he had no evidence to support his accusation that
President Barack Obama’s administration had falsified new employment
statistics


Keith Hall, who served as Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics from 2008 until 2012,
said in an interview Friday that there is no way someone at the agency could change any of the data
from its two monthly employment surveys. The significant improvement in the unemployment rate
may reflect normal statistical errors in the sampling process, he said, but that has nothing to
do with manipulation.

“There’s nothing wrong with the numbers,” said Mr. Hall.

The truth will eventually come out and then if the numbers have been manipulated it will show up. This administration is holding the inflation rate down by not counting food and energy in the equation, the very things that keep going up, that's manipulation.

Total Employment Rises 873,000 To Highest Level Since December 2008

By Noel Sheppard | October 05, 2012 | 08:45

Noel Sheppard's picture

The unemployment rate decreased to 7.8 percent in September, a number certain to impact the presidential race.

Pundits have been saying for months this number had to drop below 8 percent for it not to be a hindrance to President Obama's reelection chances.

The economy added 114,000 nonfarm payrolls in the month according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics with gains in healthcare, transportation and warehousing.

Truly shocking in the report was that the number of unemployed people dropped by 456,000 to  12.1 million.

Maybe more shocking, total employment, as measured by the Household Survey, rose by 873,000 in September to 142,974,000, the biggest one month jump since June 1983.

As such, total employment now stands at the highest level it's been since December 2008 before Obama was inaugurated.

But even more mysterious is the divergence in the two surveys done by the Labor Department.

The Household Survey showed a gain of 873,000 people employed in September - resulting in the surprise drop in the unemployment rate - while the Establishment Survey only showed a rise of 114,000.

Hmmm.
