Congratulations on the granddaughter.

I hope when she asks why you voted for Obama that you can explain to her your reason for voting for him despite his belief system being the polar opposite of yours. I hope you can explain why your vote for him was necessary in light of all the damage he has done to this country.

I hope you don't have to change too many diapers.

I don't think it is any coincidence that these FUBAR numbers came out the day after the debate. I firmly believe it was suppose to be a one-two punch and is was all premeditated. I think they were crafted to bolster Slumbama after his predicted win in the debate and now the whole thing is backfiring because he bombed the debate at an exponential level. He sure switched from bragging about these fake numbers to whining about Big Bird awfully quick.

Thank you for sharing your good news with your fans and supporters. I hope you find that your life that was once black and white, is now in full color all because of a grandchild. We found it was the best, most rewarding "job" we ever had - being grandparents! Enjoy every single minute of the new baby. Boy or girl?

I am simply amazed at how a telephone survey of 60,000 can produce an assumption of nearly 600,000 new jobs, and yet.....nary a one of the 600,000 chose to work for money and make their presence felt on an actual payroll. I am starting to think that all the trolls on here are those new workers and they are all being paid off book with illegal campaign donations through Slumbama's online Chinese bundler.

Remember Primary Colors? A Clinton campaign insider writes a book. Everyone knows that it is true.

Now we have The Lizard King. A top Axlerod operative hands over a manuscript to The Daily Caller explaining that he is a hard core liberal, but under no circumstances will he vote for Barack Obama - and here's why. It would appear that it has to do with Obama's statements about his plans for America. The DC says that they checked this guy out and he is real. They're going to release this thing in excerpts.

This could be good. Here's the first teaser. One page with at least one surprise.

Has the word communist been replaced by the word progressive? Our education system has dummied our children and they don't even know what communism is. The progressives use the word forward and change as dream words to entice the ignorant and convert them into useful fools.

Actually the first to coin the term progressive was the fascist Mussolini. Do a search on Italian Fascism, Mussolini, or Giovanni Gentile (Mussolini's fascist philosopher). Italian Fascism took pride in combining socialism, communism, and totalitarianism to develop the precepts of fascism.

Substitute secularism for religion and watch all the pieces come together.

Yes, and I'm worried for my grand-daughter.

Anyway, concerning Groshen, I've taught Advanced Statistic Analysis for Economics; and also taught, and consulted, in developing surveys for marketing programs. I guarantee you that statistics don't lie, but statisticians might..a little...when necessary to make a point. I can do that with most statistical analyses of most economic programs. So can, and does, Groshen.

Ask yourself this: Since they were okay with false data, why didn't they spread out the reduction over three months, when it wouldn't look so transparently false?

Answer: because whoever colluded with the administration to falsify this number knew that a one month deviation could be explained as a mistake or a sampling error, but three months would get that person sent to jail should Romney be elected.

The administration doesn't care about the truth, they know that the Old Media would pick up their banner regardless. All that said, this error is so big that its source would have been easy to identify and correct, had there been any interest in doing so.

Of course Obama has surrounded himself with Ivy League socilaist graduates, most people in power surround themselves with those that think like they do. One would think that these prestigous universities would have figured out by now that socialism, as fair as it sounds, doesn't work. Since they apparently haven't been able to figure that out, they no longer should be considered prestigious and ought to consider rebating their exhorbitant tuition fees to generations of past students.

Harvard is a breeding ground of little marxists and to think it started out as a religious school. In fact, I wouldn't spend one penny to send my kids there. Maybe Wharton would be a better pick. Of course she went to Harvard. All obo's employees went there. She's a union pro along the lines of the original Jimmy Hoffa. When her power grab fangs come out, God help us. I guess obama didn't have enough attack dogs.

As Margaret Thatcher opined, the trouble with taxing other people to pay for socialism is that you eventually run out of OTHER people to tax!

As another great Brit Churchill added, “The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings. The inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of misery.”

Vote ROMNEY to try to stem the ineluctable trend toward slouching into becoming Greece or Spain.

Congratulations on your first grandchild! Grandkids are soooo much better and much more fun than the kids were when we were younger! I have always told my kids that if I could have been a grandparent before I was a parent (I know, I know...not logical or possible!), I would have made a much better parent! Now you can spoil the grandchild, and enjoy every minute of it!
But honestly, I agree that you would make a great Sec of the Treasury!

Someone said " there are lies, there are damn lies and then there are statistics." We keep hearing that if the truth were told the real unemployment figure would be 14%. Why don't we get the truth out of Washington? Why does Washington always play with the numbers? Most people just want the truth, they can handle it. Tocqueville said " America is great because the people are good, when the people cease to be good America will cease to be great." Apparently half truths or flat out lying has become the new normal for Washington. So has " cover up " .

Unfortunately, the government does the same ting when attempting to explain "inflation" and "cost of living". Today's administration says that inflation and therefore the cost of living is low. However, the government doesn not include the cost of food, gasoline, home heating oil and electricity in the cost of living. Try living without them. I believe the government also exclude rising property taxes, sales taxes, college tuition rates and health insurance premiums from determining the cost of living. When you get to define terms,you can come up with stats that can justify anything. Telling the truth to citizens is too dangerous a thing for politicians. The people might not like what they hear. And then what?
