    Apparently the US government lied about unemployment rates right before the 2012 election in order to cast the Obama administration in a better light.

    Of course, I don't blame our idiot savant in chief. I'm sure he had no knowledge about any of this, just like he had no knowledge that the IRS was targeting his political opponents or that his own health care law would not cause millions to lose coverage and/or pay more for health care.

    I smell a rat. Could the Republican be doing these things behind the scenes to make Obama look like a hopelessly corrupt buffoon?

    I just read that if the elections were held today, Romney would win.

    I have no love for Romney, however, I think a recall would be sweet. That way the message could be sent that the ends do not justify the means. Just lying your arse off for a few months to win an election no longer means you will be in office your full term. I think it would be an incredibly healthy exercise for the Republic, but then, I also realize who controls all of government and the media.

    The amazing amount of corrupting at to what end orchestrated by this Administration is staggering. I have an issue with this guy coming out now. If he was such a "stand up" guy, why did he not come out right when it happened and said, hey... this corrupt bastards are trying to rig the election.

    Attacks on the Press (James Rosen / AP)
    Benghazi
    NSA Spying on Citizens
    IRS Attack on the TEA Party
    Truth About Obamacare
    Now... Fixed Unemployment Numbers!

    If the National News Media had done its job and actually reported/investigated events that were not favorable to Barack Obama and the Democratic Party. We would have a real business leader as President today. The economy would be in far better shape. Instead we have the wealth gap increasing. The hyper-rich are raking it in and everyone else is struggling to advance.

    Romney would win. The national media made sure the truth was not known about so much. They kept pushing false Obama propaganda for the low information crowd and refused to report other information that would destroy him. They stole the election through press taken over by propagandists. Stalin would be proud!

    How is this not impeachable? It's election fraud.

    No president has ever been re-elected with 8% unemployment. They committed fraud in order to change the outcome of an election.

    They need to take the higher ups into custody and get them to admit who gave the order.

    A major investigation must happen. If this turns out to be true... prison for as high as it goes.

    Rush just said that when Obama was elected in 2008 he put the census under the control of the whitehouse.

    No one will ever be held accountable, just like all the other scandals.

    can you prove otherwise?

    Ordinarily I would not believe this, but with this administration, I believe just about everything.

    I have no need to prove anything. The onus is on the person making the claim. I was simply laughing out loud at the post saying they heard on rush the census bureau was taken over by the White House.

    The irony of the entire idea of the thread is that we're almost immune to it because we've seen it for so many years in our history. The lies are almost expected and honesty is seldom seen. It's no wonder we, as a people, question everything after being confronted with so much that we discover to be untrue.

    The director of the Census Bureau will report directly to the White House and not the secretary of Commerce, according to a senior White House official. February 2009.

    This ill-conceived proposal undermines a constitutionally obligated process that speaks to the very heart of our democracy …Requiring the census director to report directly to the White House and placing responsibility for administration of the Bureau outside the Department of Commerce may even violate federal law. According to Title 13 of the U.S. Code, the Bureau is to be administered ‘within, and under the jurisdiction of, the Department of Commerce’ … By circumventing the secretary of Commerce’s oversight of the Census Bureau and handing it directly to a political operative such as Mr. Emanuel, you are severely jeopardizing the fairness and accuracy of the 2010 census.”

    Realizing Obama wouldn’t budge on reassigning census duties to the White House, regardless of how unconstitutional the move was, Gregg withdrew himself from consideration as Commerce Secretary on Feb 10, 2009.

    There will not be any impeachment because obama is half black. Besides, didn't you hear Oprah yesterday? America is just all racist and stuff. She said all the old, white southerners need to die.

    I hope she realizes that obama (going on the assumption the election was legit, for a second) needs way more votes than just from black people to get elected.

    Obama did move the census bureau under white house control, but it was in 2009. I am not really sure why anyone is surprised that the news is coming out that the numbers were actually manipulated.

    "The real issue is who directs the Census, the pros or the pols," says Mr. Chapman. "You would think an administration that's thumping its chest about respecting science would show a little respect for scientists in the statistical field." He worries that a Census director reporting to a hyperpartisan such as White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel increases the chances of a presidential order that would override the consensus of statisticians.

    A former director of the census knew exactly what was the worry and what would likely happen in 2009.

    It was all fixed just as a lot of the voting in the last election where certain counties had 110% votes for Obama and some having not one vote for Romney. Only a fool would not see this whole election was fixed.

    Laughter is one reaction a person can have when he sees his demigod is a liar and a cheat.

    But it's not the best reaction

    Unemployment has never been reported as a fact. They only count the ones on unemployment. Not the ones that their benefit has run out they are no longer counted.

    What will be your excuses when the gop loses in 2016?

    Voter fraud?
    Illegal aliens voting?

    I'm curious.

    If they do, I'm sure it will be all of the above and probably more shenanigans.
