The Roanoke Slant

Obama is ecstatic that the “official” unemployment numbers have dropped to 8.6%; it's disturbing what he considers "success".
-
Turns out that most of the recent reductions have been because out-of-work people have stopped looking for work – that drops them from the “unemployed” numbers.
Apparently to view valid representative numbers one must find the “under-employed” numbers that are at 18%; you'll not find that anywhere in the major liberal media:

Unemployed vs Under-employed: Talk about your 1984 DoubleSpeak!
-
Based on these results; Speculation is that Obama’s team will now encourage all unemployed people to STOP LOOKING FOR WORK thereby moving them to the under-employed roll!
This will drop the unemployment numbers to ZERO
Since the major media doesn’t publish the “under-employment” numbers, no one will know and:
This will ensure Obama’s reelection!  What a concept!

Obama: Shades of Hee Haw:
Patient: Doc, it hurts when I raise my arm
Doc: Well, don’t raise your arm

Remember all the year-end hype about the biggest Dec-Christmas business ever and how all was now on the path to better times under Obama’s leadership?
Well – now the facts are staining the Obama economic year-end glee:
Roanoke Times, 1-13-12, Pg 7: “Overall Dec 2011 sales actually fell 0.2%, the first such drop since May 2010.
The glee was covered multiple times on Page 1 – The reality on Page 7.
No one can say the liberal media isn’t helping to reelect Obama as much as they can!
