If the number was bad it would have been racism. It doesn't change the fact that there are literally millions of unemployed and underemployed that will vote. No unemployment number from the BLS will change that.
Not implausible. In 1934 during the Night of the Long Knives, when the SS went to round up the SA leaders, many of them were simply informed with one sentence, " The Fuhrer demands your death." The response from those who were to be executed? "HEIL HITLER!" It is true and it is documented. Just shows you how crazy fanaticism can be when a cult of personality takes hold, you cannot shake them out of it, they are willing to do anything for their leader including giving up their very lives. If you are willing to die, what is a simple lie? I am sure you would not hesitate to sacrifice your life for Obama too if asked. Perverse as it may sound, There is a certain....poignancy about it.
Too bad Welch popped his cork and distracted from the real unemployment/economic issues. Following is some level-headed analysis. http://www.usnews.com/opinion/artic...-under-obama?google_editors_picks=true&page=2 Here's one that caught me by surprise: If you are on disability, you are not considered to be in the labor force either. As of April, we have added 5.5 million people to the disability rolls since the beginning of 2009, several million above the previous trend. There are now roughly 9 million people on disability. In 1992, there was one person on disability for every 35 workers. It is now about one for every 16 workers. It is hard to believe that so many people have become disabled; disability has literally become another fallback position for people out of work. If disability had stayed at the pre-recession growth rate, unemployment would be at least one percentage point higher, leading to a true unemployment rate much closer to 10 percent and perhaps significantly more.
I saw that. What an accomplishment by Obama, doubling the disability rolls, 5 million more democrat voters, probably one of Obama's jobs saved as well.
