For the last several years Obama’s administration has been short of thousands of households each month in its survey used to tabulate unemployment numbers, so instead of alerting the country to the problems inside the Census Bureau, now we find that Obama just faked the data. So, all those months of “falling” unemployment is likely a lie.
Some may recall that former General Electric CEO Jack Welch was attacked mercilessly by the left in October of 2012 when he Tweeted that he thought that the unemployment numbers were way off. He was joined by Steve Forbes in his belief that the Census Bureau was getting it all wrong (see video below).
In an October 5, 2012 Tweet, Welch said “Unbelievable jobs numbers. These Chicago guys will do anything…can’t debate so change numbers.”
From Jon Stewart to every host on the extremist cable network MSNBC, to papers like The New York Times, Welch was called a lair and attacked as the lowest of the low.
But now a new article in the New York Post reports that whistleblowers are confirming that Welch, Forbes, and those that doubted Obama’s unemployment numbers were right all along. The data was wrong.
But worse than merely “wrong,” the new Post report shows that the data was actually faked. Obama’s operatives issued bald faced lies instead of true unemployment numbers.
The Post reminds readers of the big dropoff in unemployment numbers that was seen during the late race for President–a report that Obama used to his great advantage during the election–numbers that showed that unemployment had fallen in August and September just before Election Day.
“The decline–from 8.1 percent in August to 7.8 percent in September–might not have been all it seemed. The numbers, according to a reliable source, were manipulated,” the article notes.
Just two years before the presidential election, the Census Bureau had caught an employee fabricating data that went into the unemployment report, which is one of the most closely watched measures of the economy.
And a knowledgeable source says the deception went beyond that one employee–that it escalated at the time President Obama was seeking reelection in 2012 and continues today.
“He’s not the only one,” said the source, who asked to remain anonymous for now but is willing to talk with the Labor Department and Congress if asked.
So, Obama LIED about the unemployment rates falling and just in time for his re-election? Imagine that.
The story says that insiders are now reporting that the OK to lie and fake the unemployment data didn’t just come from one “rogue employee” but from “higher ups” in the Census Bureau.
And, again, all this was perpetrated just in time for Obama’s re-election. A shocking coincidence, eh?
Jack Welch was right. These people will lie with impunity as long as it means they win elections. And Democrat voters are stupid enough to believe the lies.
