It makes for great unemployment numbers, but just goes to show the smoke and mirrors liberals like to use when describing Obama's success!

Nice point of view. Personally I think it leads to corruption, but you can have it.

Originally posted by EladarSince both parties take part in continuing this deception and neither party has taken steps to stop it, your howling about liberals just serves to continue the blame game. Why don't you howl about conservatives refusing to change it ???

There is no "deception." The Department of Labor publishes data and the way of calculating unemployment data hasn't changed over the last couple of decades. What journalists and the public do with that data is up to them.

Yep, in context of describing Obama's success!
If you want to say that the Republican machine does the same thing for Republicans, I will agree. Why did I not bring it up? I did not bring up Republicans because I have not seen a recent topic brought up by conservatives about Republican success. I have seen a recent thread about Obama's success.
