The U.S. jobs picture beat tepid expectations, with the economy creating a significantly better than expected 103,000 new jobs in September that nonetheless was not enough to cut the unemployment rate from 9.1 percent.
Economists had been looking for 60,000 total new nonfarm jobs, a month after the shock that the U.S. had created a net of zero new jobs. That August number, though, was revised upward in the latest report, to show the economy creating 57,000 jobs for the month.
It is also worth noting that half of the gains came from Verizon workers returning from their strike, making actual new jobs in September actually less than what was forecasted.

Why don’t you also mention that the same report also revised the July and August jobs numbers up by 99,000 and also that the same number that is counting Verizon workers coming back to work also includes 34,000 that were cut from public spending?
He can’t do that, because that would be considered honest. We all know this kid isn’t honest, he is a partisan hack, the younger version of Mark.

strikers are not unemployed
It was especially amusing to listen to NPR this morning trying to make lemonade out of this sewage.
“… much better than expected …”
“… indicates that the economy will continue to improve …”
“ … Wall Street seems very happy with the news …”
“… finally put to rest the idea of a double-dip recession …”
“… and summer numbers were revised upwards by nearly another one-hundred-thousand …”
Meanwhile, I picked up this from the democratic underground, circa 2006
Followed by this comment: “ by conservative estimates, the economy must add 150,000 jobs just to absorb new entrants into the labor market. We have rarely had such a month under the Chimp.
They also don’t count those not actively seeking employment because they cannot find it, those whose benefits have run out because they have been looking for so long, and they also do not count self-employed or contract employees who are unemployed.
A bigger crisis is underemployment- those who cant (sic) find enough work or of decent enough a wage to support themselves and their families.
Make no mistake, America is faltering BADLY for the middle and lower class as the upper class rakes it in, while paying nothing for the privilege.
I still for the life of me cannot understand the mindset of a poor Repuke. What fools. ”
Ah, what foods these morsels be.
“They also don’t count those not actively seeking employment because they cannot find it, those whose benefits have run out because they have been looking for so long, and they also do not count self-employed or contract employees who are unemployed.
I can’t believe they,i>still don’t count the “self-employed” who are unemployed.
According to Thomas’s many posts, we have nothing to worry about. The economy is going to be just fine soon, someday, maybe, in a few years, hopefully.

This just in: Obama LIES again:
During the latest campaign appearance disguised as a presidential press conference, President Obama uttered one straight out lie that stands out above the rest of them. To help sell his “jobs bill,” Obama claimed to have met a Boston-based teacher named Robert Baroz and intimated that Baroz had no job despite his excellent teaching credentials. The problem is, neither claim is true. Obama simply lied. So, where is the national Old Media to pin Obama to the wall over this out right lie?
But as neo says, it’s probably more important that we stay focused on a 30 year old rock.
http://www.chicagonow.com/publius-forum/2011/10/why-isnt-obamas-teacher-lie-national-news/
“Baroz has in fact received three pink slips in four years, but in each case, his job was saved, either through stimulus funds or the 2010 Congressional Jobs Bill.”
“’People who want to fuss over the word choice are missing the point. It’s about our investing in education and in communities,’” Baroz said. “’It was technically correct; yes, I did lose my position three times within four years in the Boston Public Schools. The emphasis was on ‘like Robert.’ It’s people who are like me, highly qualified, and are not working. That’s the spirit of it.'”
http://www.bostonherald.com/news/regional/view.bg?articleid=1371584&position=1
Yeah, a whole lot of half stories being told around here.
So lying when you want to sell something is not lying?
“I met a man who is unemployed” to an Obama-dung-beetle is “I never met the man who, coincidentally has a job.”
This is because the “jobs bill” (and getting reelected) is more important than truth, morality, integrity, honor or probity.
Nice that you can defend that.
You feeling ok Caveat? You are sounding like one of us wing nuts again. I would drop by hell and say hi but i lost your link.
I never made any claim about whether or not he lied (although I think if you get down to technicalities, the statement can be read in such a way that it is true). My complaint is that Cluster (or more likely whomever he was quoting) was lying by omission, much like the blog post to which his statement is attached. Even if you rate Obama’s statement as a lie, put in context it is at best a minor mis-statement rather than a major untruth worthy of bringing the wrath of every journalist down on his head, as Cluster seems to want. And it certainly isn’t far enough from the truth to be sure that it wasn’t an honest mistake on Obama’s part.
But fine, whatever, I’m pretty sure when Obama takes a dump, you guys are convinced that it is a lying, socialist dump designed to steal your hard earned tax dollars and force your children to be Muslim, so I doubt what I’m saying means a lot to you.
I must have missed the corrected quotation, at first I thought the President lied and said the man was out of work when in fact he still had a job.
Maybe the media misquoted him as cory seems to infer he didn’t outright lie.
He didn’t say the teacher was out of work. He said he wanted to put more teachers “like Robert back in the classroom.” And if you read the Boston Herald’s coverage, you’ll find that he has an academic job that is not direct classroom teaching. It’s pretty easy to parse Obama’s statement in a truthful way.
Cory’s point, however, is not the veracity of Obama’s claim. It’s that the hysteria associated with the controversial statement is ridiculous. I could, for example, at this point say that Warner Todd Huston is a massive liar because I found a way to parse Obama’s statement that is compatible with fact. If I did that, I would be giving Huston the same treatment he gave Obama but most would not call this fair treatment.
corky
It’s people who are like me, highly qualified, and are not working.
not that “highly qualified” if he needs the govt to have a job
Those who CAN, DO
Those who CANT, Teach,
What would be a major mistruth to you Cory? Would say, promising that you would be able to keep your current health insurance be a major mistruth when he knew full well he intended to run those health insurance companies into the ground?
Maybe it is just a ‘minor mistatement’ to say that without the stimulus plan we could see unemployment rise to 8 percent.
Was it a minor mistatement for the President to threaten Bank of America because they dared attempted to make a profit from their customers, or was it a minor mistatement when the following day he had to retract the statement he said about it.
I’m pretty tired of the man coming back a few days later after he shows his true Marxist colors, and convincing the media that he really didn’t say what he said, that they just interpreted his words wrong so they might as well reprint his original words in a less damaging way.
Let’s take your statements one a time.
Which health insurance companies has he run into the ground? Insurance companies were generally in favor of the health care reform because of the mandate, which will bring them a bunch of new customers if it does not get struck down by courts.
The unemployment figure was based upon the current projections of the depth of the recession. It was a large miscalculation, but it doesn’t make any sense for him to have not been sincere at the time. What would his gain have been? To look like an idiot a year later when he was wrong?
Show me exactly how he “threatened” Bank of America. He used the action as reasoning for why the CFPB was a good idea, but I don’t see anywhere where he threatening BofA with any particular action besides just voicing disapproval.
You know what I get tired of? Dishonest discourse. You guys twist people’s words by either interpreting them in the worst possible light or leaving half of them out completely and then get upset when other people and the media don’t jump all over the “story”. We aren’t ignoring the problems you think you are seeing because we are secretly trying to turn the country into Cuba. We are ignoring them because you are busy worried about the timeline of bridge restoration projects and a single man’s current employment status when they don’t even alter the spirit of what Obama is saying much less address any of the very real problems this country is facing.
It would be nice if Obama did address the very real problems this country is facing. Instead he chooses to stay in campaign mode, blame others, and double down on failed policies
All I hear is regurgitated talking points. Obama is late to the game, and I don’t think the proposed jobs program is exactly spot-on all the way through, but he’s trying to do something at this point. What have any other politicians done for me lately? And what exactly is the failed policy he’s doubling down on, the stimulus package that saved millions of jobs?
I don’t think Obama’s necessarily done a great job with the economy as such, but even he looks pretty darn good to me at this point compared to anybody else involved.
The 2009 stimulus Cory was a colossal waste of money and only served to bolster pension unions and temporarily sustain some union jobs period. To say that it did more than that is to be dishonest, and we already have enough of that.
Paul Ryans budget proposal would do more to create jobs than anything Obama has ever done, yet it languishes in the Senate thanks to the ignorant Harry Reid, who wont even allow a debate on it. That plan would bring certainty to the tax structure for business’s and give them the confidence to expand and employ. It’s the private sector that creates jobs Cory, not the government
Here we are back at the whole dishonesty thing. There are a multitude of sources that rate the stimulus as having saved jobs numbering in the millions. Even if you disagree with the assessment, are people really being dishonest by looking at things like Congressional Budget Office estimations and believing them? What about the economists at Goldman Sachs, IHS Global Insight, JPMorgan Chase and Macroeconomic Advisers? Are you really incapable of going three sentences without calling people liars?
And Paul Ryan’s budget was deliberately ideological rather than primarily economic. Obama has bent over so far backwards compromising that he’s getting a ton of backlash from the more liberal of the Democrafts, and the Republicans refuse to meet even 20% of the way. Why would they compromise on anything at this point when the status quo will probably get Obama ejected from office in 2012?
Here we are back at the whole dishonesty thing – cory
I couldn’t agree more. The entire “saving jobs” shtick is a joke. Temporarily saving public employee union jobs Cory, does nothing.

Are you talking about the real world where there is over 9% unemployment, 14 trillion dollars of debt, and a POTUS that lies and demagogues issues instead of governing while his minions continue to misplace their anger and look for racists? That real world?
Or Bodie, maybe you’re talking about the real world where the Attorney General lies about the operation that killed a border guard, and the sycophantic media has no concern. Is that the real world you speak of? Just trying to figure out which “real world” you currently occupy.
uh, jeffy (bodie) the only ones talking of revolution are those infesting Wall Street and 40 other places across the country PLUS the agitators in Washington condoning said activities…..

So you’re not interested in telling us which “real world” world you occupy? Or are you not sure at this point? That’s ok, get back to us when you figure it out – ok sport?
Cory,
Obama said that he had met Baroz. He never did and I am sure that Obama is smart enough to remember if he had ever met someone.That was a lie told to sensationalize his point and.coming from the POTUS, that’s despicable.
Unemployment in North Dakota is about 3%. Lot’s of very good jobs are available. Someone needs to tell the Occupy Wall Street protestors.

NEW YORK – Two private investigators working independently are asking why President Obama is using a Social Security number set aside for applicants in Connecticut while there is no record he ever had a mailing address in the state.
In addition, the records indicate the number was issued between 1977 and 1979, yet Obama’s earliest employment reportedly was in 1975 at a Baskin-Robbins ice-cream shop in Oahu, Hawaii.
WND has copies of affidavits filed separately in a presidential eligibility lawsuit in the U.S. District Court of the District of Columbia by Ohio licensed private investigator Susan Daniels and Colorado private investigator John N. Sampson.
The investigators believe Obama needs to explain why he is using a Social Security number reserved for Connecticut applicants that was issued at a date later than he is known to have held employment.
The Social Security website confirms the first three numbers in his ID are reserved for applicants with Connecticut addresses, 040-049.
“Since 1973, Social Security numbers have been issued by our central office,” the Social Security website explains. “The first three (3) digits of a person’s social security number are determined by the ZIP code of the mailing address shown on the application for a social security number.”
The question is being raised amid speculation about the president’s history fueled by an extraordinary lack of public documentation. Along with his original birth certificate,
Obama also has not released educational records,
scholarly articles, passport documents, medical records, papers from his service in the Illinois state Senate, Illinois State
Bar Association records,
any baptism records
and adoption papers.
Robert Siciliano, president and CEO of IDTheftSecurity.com and a nationally recognized expert on identity theft, agrees the Social Security number should be questioned.
A nation-wide network of researchers has sprung up to attempt to fill in the blanks,
but at every opportunity Obama’s high-priced lawyers have built walls around various records or simply made them disappear. It is estimated that Obama’s legal team has now spent well over $1.4 million dollars blocking access to documents every American should have access to.
The question is why would he spend so much money to do this?
The president who campaigned for a more “open government” and “full disclosure” will not unseal his medical records, his school records, his birth records or his passport records.
He will not release his Harvard records,
his Columbia College records,
or his Occidental College records—
he will not even release his Columbia College thesis.
All his legislative records from the Illinois State Senate are missing and he claims his scheduling records during those State Senate years are lost as well. In addition, no one can find his school records for the elite K-12 college prep school, Punahou School, he attended in Hawaii.
What is he hiding? Well, for starters, some of these records will shed light on his citizenship and birth.
Pictured: “Scott & Barry, 3rd grade 1969” Punahou School in Hawaii.
Pictured: “Scott & Barry, 3rd grade 1969” Punahou School in Hawaii.
For example, Obama’s application to Punahou School – now mysteriously missing – would likely contain a birth certificate. And, according to attorney Gary Kreep, “his Occidental College records are important as they may show he attended there as a foreign exchange student.” Indeed, Obama used his Indonesian name “Barry Soetoro” while attending Occidental. Kreep has filed lawsuits challenging Obama’s eligibility to be president and as part of his lawsuit he requested Obama’s records from Occidental. However, Obama’s lawyers quickly moved to stop Occidental from honoring this request.
Furthermore, now that at least three document authentication experts have declared the scanned “Certificate of Live Birth” Obama’s campaign team gave to a pro-Obama website to be an obvious phony; we know that he is hiding something here as well.
Over 49 separate law suits have been filed on the eligibility/birth certificate issue alone, with several of the suits making it all the way the United States Supreme Court, only to be denied a full hearing.

What’s more, there are questions about how he paid for his Harvard Law School education since, despite a claim by Michele Obama,
no one has produced any evidence that he received student loans.
The Obamas will not release any student loan details despite repeated requests from the Chicago Tribune.
However, it appears that his Harvard education may have been paid for by a foreign source. Khalid Al-Mansour, an advisor to Saudi prince Al-Walid bin Talah, told Manhattan Borough president, Percy Sutton, that he was raising money for Obama’s Harvard tuition. Incidentally, Prince Tala is the largest donor to CAIR, a Muslim group declared by the U.S. Government in 2007 as an unindicted co-conspirator in a terrorist financing trial. At least three of CAIR’s leaders have been indicted for terrorist activities. Al-Mansour’s admission opens up speculation as to whether Muslim interests have assisted Obama’s career in the hope he would eventually be in a position someday to promote their interests.
More recently, it was discovered that Obama’s Selective Service card may have been doctored. Federal law requires all American males to register for the Selective Service (the draft) in case a major war broke out. Blogger Debbie Schlussel has discovered solid evidence that Obama’s Selective Service registration form was submitted not when he was younger as required, but rather in 2008 and then altered to look older. Indeed, the forgers forgot to alter the “Document Location Number” which shows that it is clearly a 2008 form. This is fraud and it’s a felony and Schlussel allegations are backed up by Stephen Coffman, a former high-ranking Federal agent. Moreover, the document shows a September 4th, 1980 date and the location of the transaction as Hawaii, but at that time Obama was thousands of miles away attending Occidental College in Los Angeles.
The real reason why Obama probably did not submit this form as a teenager is that he assumed his Kenyan or Indonesian citizenship exempted him from this requirement. But clearly, as he grew older and entered politics, he saw that any documents revealing a foreign birth – Selective Service registration, birth certificate, school applications, etc – would be problematic if he ran for the presidency.
Thus, it is not a coincidence that every document which contains information about his birth or citizenship is either missing, sealed, or has been altered.
New Wash Times ; Obama Committed Draft Registration Fraud! Whose CT Social Security Number is President Barack Hussein Soetoro Obama Using? Washington Times National Weekly in 02 May 2011 issue – pg 5
Federal lawsuit* accuses putative President Obama of Selective Service (Draft) Registration fraud and that he is fraudulently using a Social Security Number which is legally not his and which was issued only to residents of the State of Connecticut, a state where Obama never legally resided and certainly not during the time frame of circa 1977 when that SSN was issued!
Book confirms: Ayers wrote Obama’s book
©Jack Cashill
September 23, 2009
In his new book, “Barack and Michelle: Portrait of an American Marriage,” best-selling celebrity journalist Christopher Andersen has blown a huge hole in the Obama genius myth without intending to do so.
In the way of background, I had first advanced the thesis that Bill Ayers played a major role in the writing of Obama’s much acclaimed 1995 memoir, ” Dreams From My Father,”
Relying on inside sources, quite possibly Michelle Obama herself, Andersen describes how “Dreams” came to be published, and it is just as I envisioned it.
According to Andersen, Obama was “hopelessly blocked” in his effort to honor the $150,000 contract Simon & Schuster had advanced him after three years of trying.
Obama was particularly worried because he had spent $75,000 of the advance and had produced nothing. In 1993, the publisher canceled the contract but let Obama keep the money after he pled poverty due to “massive student loan debt.”
After his agent secured Obama a smaller contract with the Times Books division of Random House, Barack and Michelle decamped to Bali in the hope that he would be able to finish the book without interruption. That did not happen either.
With the deadline pressing, Michelle recommended that Barack seek advice from “his friend and Hyde Park neighbor Bill Ayers.”
To flesh out his family history, Obama had taped interviews with various family members. Andersen writes, “These oral histories, along with a partial manuscript and a truckload of notes, were given to Ayers.”
Andersen quotes a Hyde Park neighbor: “Everyone knew they were friends and that they worked on various projects together. It was no secret. Why would it be? People liked them both.”
Andersen continues, “In the end, Ayers’ contribution to Barack’s ‘Dreams From My Father’ would be significant – so much so that the book’s language, oddly specific references, literary devices and themes would bear a jarring similarity to Ayerss own writing.”
To his credit, Andersen cites my contribution to his research, but he clearly has access to inside information that I did not have. His level of detail on the mechanics of the transmission goes beyond anything I could have discovered on my own.
Andersen concludes, “Thanks to help from the veteran writer Ayers, Barack would be able to submit a manuscript to his editors at Times Books.”
What an astounding failure you’ve been in this thread, neocon. You have demonstrated that you have precisely zero proof of your accusations and that you’re incredibly gullible. How does it feel to be the only person on this blog who can make a walking calamity like tiredoflibbs look good by comparison?

My comment was directed towards Bodie, not you. Which makes your comment “step up your reading comprehension” especially funny.
