Reverse Voter Suppression? Above, a party of white kooks, crazies and fruits in the blender. Isn't that what they call conspiracy theory folks who operate without proof? This conspiracy is brought to you by the same team that was unhappy when Bin Laden was killed and believed in the existence of WMD's in Iraq. The only thing these people care about is politics, money & winning debates. Their religon of white supremacy will give them the faith to believe anything contrary to what Obama says. He must have anticipated this, he played them. All Mittens has left now is his whiteness. But, Obama's successful politics have not led to results for jobless non-white people. Of course, Mittens could care less about that. Perhaps the only thing Obama accomplished during the debate was to let his silence function as a mirror to reveal this White Party Clownism. Like the guy with the bullhorn in the park: Hannity Joins The Conspiracy, Claims Obama Administration "Altered For Political Gain" Monthly Job Numbers [MORE] From [HERE] The September jobs report released this morning contained encouraging economic news for the Obama Administration in the closing weeks of this year's election. The nation's unemployment rate fell to 7.8 percent in September, the lowest level in three years. The economy added 114,000 last month.
In more welcome news for Obama, the Bureau of Labor Statistics also reported that the economy added 86,000 more jobs in July and August than previously estimated. All in all today's data adds strength to the Administration's "stick with us, we're headed in the right direction" narrative.
While these top-line numbers suggest an improving economic situation, the broader jobs report reveals that the harsh reality for most Americans continues. For blacks, Latinos, and youth the picture is far less optimistic and remained in economic-depression territory. 1 out 7 African-Americans, 1 out of ten Latinos and 1 out of 4 people between 16-19 is unemployed. These numbers are essentially unchanged from August.
The number of people looking for work, discouraged by five years of record joblessness, remains at its lowest level in almost thirty years. Since 2007, 9 million people have dropped out of the job force. If these Americans were still looking for work, today's unemployment rate would be over 10 percent.
The percentage of underemployed Americans, those without work or at jobs at well below their skill level, is over 14 percent or, to translate, 18 million people.
In its totality, the jobs report underscores the curious absence of any at-length discussion of joblessness in Wednesday night's presidential debate. Given that the economy is the number once concern of all Americans, the lack of presentation by the candidates of detailed plans during their exchange is almost unconscionable.
Sadly, regardless of who pundits crowned as the winner, we all lost.
