CA official whose agency under-reported unemployment stats was Obama campaign donor

CA official whose agency under-reported unemployment stats was Obama campaign donor. Remember last week when the BLS reported jobless claims had fallen by 30,000 to 339,000, their lowest level since February 2008, and the media/left was cheering the “good news”? But later on, we found out that California had under-reported jobless data, skewing the results? Well, just by coincidence, the head of that agency that made this boo-boo also happens to be an Obama donor. Unexpectedly.

  • seeing this pic 'minds me of one of the kenyan's ads. It shows pix of a teacher, cop, and firefighter, and implies that Romney's economic plan will hurt these average middle class workers. UNFORTUNATELY, one needs only a moment to realize these ppl are not average, nor middle class, but rather union dopes who prefer socialism and govt. control to freedom and self-reliance.

    hey kenyan, your lies are as blatant as your anti-Americanism.

  • Is anyone really surprised to find out that the person who is to report the numbers is a barry support and held them to hide the downward spiral.

      • Kalifornia is corrupt to the core, maybe even more-so than D.C. Cronies who go from one office to another, just like our governor, ass-clown Jerry Brown...all these shitheads do is go from one office to another, steal everything they can from the state including copy paper, and move on to the next office. All the while patting themselves on the back about how wonderful a job they have done, Another four years of Obutthead would make the rest of the country look like Kalifornia, Bad roads, crime, some of the stupidest school students you'll ever meet, welfare up the ass to everyone and taxes that take more money than some people make some politicians who are soo stupid they can't eat without drooling like Henry Waxhead and Maxine Muddy Waters..but hey illegals can now get a driver's license, that ought to help fix everything. Sometimes you got to wonder who is leading and who is following?

  • I am sure the One will find it offensive to be accused of politicizing the BLS numbers just like he was when he was accused of lying about the attack in Libya. Just like...

    • No! Of course not...and even if he didn't, he's still got a lot of willing professional petty dictator bureaucrats to lie their asses off for him. These people need to be stripped of their jobs and their departments need to be 'disappeared.' We can't afford to bury our heads in the sand anymore and pretend that they have our best interests at heart.

  • Just heard this story from Rush on my way home for lunch. How convenient for Oblamo and his bid for re-election. We all knew the #'s were fake when they came out. Things aren't going well these days for the Messiah.
