| Today´s unemployment rate, which states the unemployment rate has ticked up to 7.9 percent, prompts the White House to say, "oday’s employment report provides further evidence that the U.S. economy is continuing to heal from the wounds inflicted by the worst downturn since the Great Depression." " It is critical that we pursue the policies needed to build an economy that works for the middle class as we continue to dig our way out of the deep hole that was caused by the severe recession that began in December 2007,"

It´s normal for a growing US economy to add 250,000 or so new jobs each month. The fact that they brag about numbers substantially below that amount is sickening. But...LoFo´s seem content as long as the free goodies keep rolling in.

It´s all lies!
Every time they put one out, it looks good, and then a month or two later those figures (from a couple months back) get revised and they´re horrid. Yet no one seems to notice the pattern...or more accurately, the MSM refuses to report it.
Has any of our fellow Luciannites tracked this? I´m willing to guess it´s happened every other month for the last two years, if not thru-out Obama´s entire first term.
It must be made to seem his ideas or working, or people will start to evaluate them (well, maybe not the Low Info crowd - you can only work with the tools you have...)

Still "Boooosh", as evident in WH statement that "recession began in December, 2007". Same propaganda release does not mention that recession officially ended in June, 2009.
Since the recession ended in June, 2009, why has the GDP growth been so anemic? And, why has it declined each year since then? The evil Bush must still be in the Oval House. Obama surely isn´t.
If 4th Quarter´s GDP contraction is an indication, we may be in for a 4 year recession under President Blame Everyone but Me.

This is absolute garbage. If you look at the household survey employment fell by 1.4 million. Yes 1.4 million. That´s double the drop of last January. You expect a drop in January but not this big. 423,000 left the labor force.
The seasonally adjusted numbers, with a birth and death component tossed in, from BLS are garbage. Only fools believe them. The labor market is collapsing. We are in recession, no amount of lies can change that.

How many people who want a job cannot find one. How many people who want jobs have stopped looking. How many people are under-employed. The Government data is essentially useless drivel. What good are percentages. What good are revisions. We want a HEAD COUNT for each category. How many people are working one or more part-time jobs because they cannot find one full-time job. Its about REAL PEOPLE, not numbers. Every report is plain BS.

This morning, House GOP leadership held a press event to discuss their agenda. A vote to repeal ObamaCare is once again on the table. At the end of his remarks, Speaker of the House John Boehner briefly addressed the IRS scandal. Boeher said that he isn’t interested in seeing IRS officials resign over the agency’s deliberate targeting of conservative and Tea Party groups. “There are laws in place to prevent this type of abuse,” Beohner said, adding that someone made a “conscious choice” to target these groups in violation of the law.

Former Obama campaign adviser David Axelrod on Wednesday defended the president, saying it was "impossible" he could have known about the Internal Revenue Service targeting conservative groups because the government is too big. “If you look at the Inspector General’s report, apparently some folks down in the bureaucracy, and you know we have a large government, took it upon themselves to shorthand these applications for tax exempt status in a way that was, as I said, idiotic, and also dangerous because of the political implications

Members of the Senate’s Gang of Eight fought off poison-pill amendments during a second day of marking up comprehensive immigration reform legislation in the Judiciary Committee. But signs of strain have begun to show within the group. Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) expressed disappointment Tuesday after senators rejected a proposal to strengthen the system for tracking visa holders entering and exiting the country. The panel rejected a Republican amendment to require a biometric entry and exit system at ports of entry before granting permanent legal status to 11 million immigrants estimated to be in the country illegally.

CHRIS MATTHEWS: Sometimes the best advisers are not sycophants, they don´t depend on you for emotional response. They´re willing to say: I´m only here for six months, to help you, I´m a pro. But sometimes, a professional or elected president says: I got elected, not you. I´m the boss. You know, it´s hard to get the boss to come down from his ladder and say, you know, I need some help.

During a conversation on MSNBC’s Morning Joe this morning, former Obama campaign chief David Axelrod insisted that the new questions about Benghazi should be “set aside,” arguing that the interest in what happened during the attacks was purely political. “I’d set Benghazi aside,” Axelrod said, when asked about how Obama should respond to the three different scandals engulfing his administration. “I know we may have some disagreements on this set about it,” he added. Axelrod called the recent hearings a “flare up” adding that they were simply partisan attacks against Hillary Clinton.

As a trio of scandals threatens to engulf President Barack Obama, congressional Democrats facing election next year are talking tough about the administration and taking the first steps to detach themselves from the president. Yet even as Republicans see an opening, some in the GOP are urging caution: They say the party needs to avoid appearing so eager to damage Obama and score political points that it undermines what looks like their best shot in three years to go on the offensive.

While the IRS has admitted it made mistakes vetting tea party and other conservative groups seeking tax exempt status, the agency has rejected two of nine recommendations that a government watchdog says are needed to ensure the problems don’t happen again. The Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration said its recommendations — part of a report released late Tuesday that looked into complaints the Internal Revenue Service was giving extra and undue scrutiny to conservative groups — were aimed at speeding up but also clarifying the agency’s approval process for tax-exemptions.

On Wednesday, Morning Joe continued the discussion of the Associated Press story involving the Justice Department’s seizing the news organization’s phone records. As the roundtable sought to sort through who in the administration knew what about the case, and when, Lisa Myers contended it that was unlikely such a “calculating” White House would have been involved in it — especially since it upset one of President Obama‘s most important constituencies: the press. Noting that the AP did hold the story at the administration’s request, Mike Barnicle questioned whether the president knew about it and when he found out.

The U.S. Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the Obama Administration’s decision to deny asylum to a German homeschooling family. The Romeike family fled their German homeland in 2008 seeking political asylum in the United States – where they hoped to home school their children. Instead, the Obama administration wants the evangelical Christian family deported. An Immigration judge granted them asylum in 2010 after the family revealed they were facing criminal prosecution for homeschooling their children. That decision was later overturned by the Board of Immigration Appeals in 2012. The court ruled today that the Romeikes

John Yoo, the former Bush administration lawyer (and frequent media target) notes at Ricochet.com that the media’s reaction to the revelation that the Obama administration spied on the Associated Press is not just a feeling of outrage, but of betrayal. Yoo goes further, arguing that the AP scandal might never have happened at all had the media not been so close to Obama to begin with--had he not taken them completely for granted. To some conservative critics, that might be a bridge too far: the Obama administration has certainly not been any nicer to its opponents,

To no one’s surprise, it is already evident that the Obama administration has been lying about the scope of the IRS’s harassment of conservative-leaning non-profits. The Washington Post has obtained documents that show the anti-conservative effort was directed from Washington, D.C., and was not a rogue operation out of the agency’s Cincinnati office, as the administration has claimed: Internal Revenue Service officials in Washington and at least two other offices were involved in the targeting of conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status, making clear the effort reached well beyond the

President Obama was asked about the metastasizing Benghazi scandal in a joint news conference with British Prime Minister David Cameron on Monday. Referring to the Americans who died in Benghazi, the president said, "We dishonor them when we turn things like this into a political circus." He added that "the whole issue of talking points, throughout this process, frankly, has been a sideshow.… There´s no there there." He´s half right. The talking points drafted by the State Department, the CIA and the White House and given to congressional Republicans and, most famously, to U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice

As a metaphor for big government, it is hard to top the Justice Department’s seizing of journalists’ phone records from The Associated Press. Unless, of course, you think the best example is the Internal Revenue Service turning the screws on groups it viewed as conservative and, therefore, unworthy of fair treatment. Or maybe the winner is the sneaky spreading of ObamaCare’s tentacles, with insurance companies now predicting the law will drive up the cost of individual premiums by as much as 400 percent. There are no losers in this race to the bottom — except the American people. It is tempting

Fox News is reporting his recusal comes partially because Holder has testified about potential national security leaks surrounding a May 7, 2012 Associated Press story.

The GOP majority in the House is reaching for new heights of political absurdity this week with its 37th vote to kill all or part of the Affordable Care Act. Let us briefly turn to political reality. There is absolutely zero chance that ObamaCare will be repealed while Democrats control the Senate and President Obama is in the White House. Reality also compels some mention of the fact that the GOP has never held a vote on any alternative plan for dealing with the nation’s out-of-control healthcare spending. But reality is a nuisance to Congressional Republicans

New York -- Is Rush Limbaugh becoming a relic, a human version of "Mad Men," except without the style or cool clothes? Has Limbaugh become as dated as Jazzercise or "Macarena?" All you need to do is look at the bottom line to see that Limbaugh is in trouble. Limbaugh once raked in the big bucks for his radio syndicator, Cumulus. But last week, Cumulus CEO Lew Dickey made it clear those days are over. Dickey reported that Cumulus had lost millions of dollars in ad sales because many advertisers no longer want to be associated with Limbaugh.

President Passerby needs urgently to become a participant in his presidency. Late Monday came the breathtaking news of a full-frontal assault on the First Amendment by his administration: word that the Justice Department had gone on a fishing expedition through months of phone records of Associated Press reporters. And yet President Obama reacted much as he did to the equally astonishing revelation on Friday that the IRS had targeted conservative groups based on their ideology: He responded as though he were just some bloke on a bar stool, getting his information from the evening news.
