    More manipulation of government data releases by Obama

    This should surprise no one here except maybe the totally clueless like "truth."

    http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2012-1...elayed-release

    While there had been speculation that the BLS may delay the release of its
    October nonfarm payroll number until after the election, it turned out there was
    no reason to worry. Perhaps this is because the number, while at stall speed,
    was not quite as horrible as some had expected (even if the change in average
    hourly earnings did tumble to new
    all time lows
    ) and so boosted Obama's reelection chances. There was,
    however, another closely tracked number which perhaps is far more indicative of
    the economic "growth" in the past 4 years, which certainly had a delayed
    release. The number of course is that showing how many Americans are on
    foodstamps, and usually is released at the end of the month, or the first day or
    two of the next month. This time the USDA delayed its release nine days past the
    semi-official deadline, far past the election, and until Friday night to report
    August foodstamp data. One glance at the number reveals why: at 47.1
    million,
    this was not only a new all time record, but the monthly
    increase of 420,947 from July was the biggest monthly increase in one
    year.
    One can see why a reported surge in foodstamps ahead of the
    elections is something the USDA, and the administration may not have been too
    keen on disclosing.

    Finally, going back to the start of the official start of the depression in
    December 2007. In the 57 months from then until August 2012, there have been 4.6
    million jobs lost even as Americans on foodstamps and disability have risen by
    21.2 million.

    This is what you voted for, ObamaFools.
