    Investigations have begun into whether unemployment numbers heading into the 2012 U.S. presidential election were manipulated. The jobless rate unexpectedly dropped to 7.8% in September 2012 from 8.1% the month earlier, the Labor Department reported on Oct. 5 of that year, one month before the presidential election. The median forecast of economists surveyed by Bloomberg at the time projected an increase to 8.2%.

    Jack Welch, the former chief executive officer of General Electric Co. charged in October 2012 that the unemployment report had been manipulated to help President Barack Obama’s re-election effort. He was attacked for his suggestion with Labor Secretary Hilda Solis saying the accusation was “ridiculous”.

    Now the Labor Department has contacted the Census Bureau about allegations of manipulation contained in a New York Post article.

    The paper interviewed an employee in the Census Bureau who admitted to fabricating interviews for the unemployment survey.

    “We have contacted the Census Bureau about the allegations and we understand that the matter has been referred to the Commerce Department for an investigation,” Stephen Barr, a senior managing director in the Labor Department’s Office of Public Affairs, said. The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, which has jurisdiction over the Census Bureau, announced it will open an investigation into the matter.

  2. Oh please...

    Odumbo could be caught on tape sucking a herd of donkey dicks on the WH lawn and he'd still get a free pass.

    He should be like "I'm not a crook" Nixon... and be pressured into resigning in disgrace... but he won't.

    :(

    One government agency will investigate another and they'll find wrong doing that "President Obama was not aware was occurring."
     
  5. I understand that a Sgt. Schultz has been put in charge of the investigation. Right after he finishes up the benghazi investigation.
     
  6. Amazing how a guy can supposedly running the country, yet "not be aware of anything".
     
  7. Is that the "I hear nothing. I see nothing." guy from Hogan's Heroes?
     
  8. Whether or not we will know the truth is unclear. I hope we do.

    However, the New York Post story is increasingly starting to look suspect to me. I will reserve judgement until actual facts are known (if ever that comes about).

    No one is aware of everything occurring in their organization, though micro-managers certainly try.
