Unemployment Rate of 7.8% Good for the President? Don't Make Me Laugh.

Obama would do and say anything to get Re-elected.

Former Chairman of General Electric Jack Welch’s assertion
that the Obama administration cooked the current labor statistics lowering the
unemployment rate to 7.8% from 8.1 that has been constant since Obama took
office almost 4 years ago, should be taken with a grain of salt.

This is not say that the Obama administration’s numbers are
correct or not correct.   But, one thing I
will say, where there is smoke, there is usually a fire especially when two
days prior to the announcement, Mr. Obama was outshined by Mr. Romney making
Obama look like a, “Caged animal” sometimes, even floundering  and resorting to nonsense.

Mr. Obama in the last debate with Romney could not defend
the indefensible.  Anyway, how can he, when
we have skyrocketing federal budget deficits, gasoline prices going through the
roof reaching the $4 plateau in some places, a federal government as a large as
an elephant, a health care system that is choking most Americans, a social
security system that if continues on the present path will become bankrupt
sooner than previously thought,  a still
anemic job market, food and other costs rising more than 30% in some cases and
an increasing tax rates for small businesses and middle class Americans.

The only people that are gaining under this president are
those on the government payroll and those who collect a monthly check and entitlements
(Let me just say this, Social security is not an entitlement.  Entitlements are freebees and the freebees are
increasing exponentially under this president.)    The government
of this country has never in the 200 years been as large as it is today under
the most liberal administration this country has ever had.   Mr.
Obama and his cronies in Washington, Vice president Biden, House minority leader
Nancy Pelosi and Senate majority leader Harry Reid has been the most liberal
trio this country has ever had and it is time for them to go home.   

Let us face the facts; the Obama administration has failed
the American people where it counts the most their pockets.   Obama’s economic policies have eroded the
purchasing power of most Americans and it is time for change in this country of
ours.

Four years ago, an Obama’s candidacy looked and felt good
because America had finally arrived.  The
American people were electing a minority president for the first time in our
nation’s history.  Today, that choice
does not shine as well.  Obama has proved
time and again that he is just another politician, another run-of-the-mill
presidential candidate who will do anything and everything to get re-elected
and cooking the labor statistics’ books cannot be discounted.

As we have seen in the past, Obama will say, promise and do
anything to guarantee his re-election.  This
November, let us give Mr.  Obama the
present he deserves, “A ticket home.”  
For, he has had his time in the sun and he got burned.
