   Romney has gone quiet. First clever move this season. Everything he says from now on out either contradicts what he said in the debate or what he said during the campaign before the debate. Difficult situation…

   The recent Pew Center polls show robme got a huge bump from the debate. But if you dig deeper into the statistics you see that the people polled are simply shallow, superficial idiots responding to window-dressing and too stupid to react to reason or logic. Example from a news report yesterday, paraphrased from actual statement from the representative from Pew, the people realize that robme’s tax/budget plan makes no sense and can’t be implemented and is factually/mathematically incorrect, but they like it and respond well to it because it sounds good.
   .
   They KNOW it’s false, a lie and can’t happen but they liek him because he’s promising what they know is impossible. Idiots.

   Keep in mind that the 7.8% unemployment rate only takes into consideration people who are actively seeking work. Do the math and the real unemployment rate is around 14.7%. Then take into consideration the underemployed, college students getting an entry level position at a fast food restaurant or retail, etc… until they can find jobs in their area of study. Or the laid off engineer who had to get a job as a factory worker taking a huge pay cut. Then add in that many of the jobs added this time are temporary jobs for the holidays. When you do the math, unemployment and underemployment , the number is much larger than 7.8%.

   @Mr. King

   The Main Point here is that unemployment is going down and Obama’s strategy is working. Anything else is just spin.

    The employment figures haven’t changed in their calculations, and it’s only a MONTHLY number that has actually little meaning! It was blown out of all proportion BY REPUBLICANS in their effort to blame Obama for what their precious INDUSTRIES and BUSINESSES have done to the work force, bringing on unemployment, and well financial breakdowns.

    
    The real tragedy coming from the “debate” may be the increase in the percentage of ignorance, or plain stupidity, of folks influenced by the “flip flopping fraud fabricator in chief”; Mitt.

    As you probably already know, True employment needs manufacturing jobs to increase it’s numbers. That means returning those jobs lost to China and India. In order to do that, the incentives for outsourcing have to be repealed. The Republicans in the Senate have blocked all attempts to do this. This country cannot survive on retail sales and consumption alone.
    If you notice of the companies that Romney so-called “saved”, they are all retail sales. The manufacturing companies he purchased all went out of business, bankrupt or were moved abroad. The only manufacturing facility that survived was the one he purchased in China.

    @Keith Russell

    Keep in mind that’s exactly how unemployment was calculated under baby bush so if you think about it, his numbers were even more dismal. It’s the same way as under Clinton, G.H.W. Bush and saint ronnie so whats your point? Oh, that’s right, none of this mattered except that it’s President Obama, he who inherited an economy in free-fall, the worst economic recession since the Great Depression and a black man.
