Obama job facts November 5, 2012, Millions more unemployed or working part time, Average weeks unemployed doubled, Million more can only find part time work

Obama job facts November 5, 2012, Millions more unemployed or working part time, Average weeks unemployed doubled, Million more can only find part time work

“With a 63.7% labor force participation, “conditions in the labor market are considerably worse than indicated” in July’s report”…economist Joshua Shapiro, WSJ August 3, 2012

“We tried our plan—and it worked. That’s the difference. That’s the choice in this election. That’s why I’m running for a second term.”…Barack Obama

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command. His heart sank as he thought of the enormous power arrayed against him, the ease with which any Party intellectual would overthrow him in debate, the subtle arguments which he would not be able to understand, much less answer. And yet he was in the right! They were wrong and he was right. The obvious, the silly, and the true had got to be defended. Truisms are true, hold on to that! The solid world exists, its laws do not change. Stones are hard, water is wet, objects unsupported fall towards the earth’s centre. With the feeling that he was speaking to O’Brien, and also that he was setting forth an important axiom, he wrote:

Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.”…George Orwell, “1984”

You won’t find this in the Mainstream Media or hear it from Obama.

The truth from Citizen Wells.

I am going to keep this real simple for the Obama supporters and not include the data from when the Democrats took control of both houses of Congress in January of 2007. The results would be much worse if I did so. Don’t take my word for it, look it up. Especially if you are a college student.

Employment-population ratio

2009 60.6

Oct 2012 58.8

That is almost 2 percent of the workforce not working since Obama took office. That is much worse than the stated unemployment rate of 7.9 percent.

Not in labor force: Want a job now

2009 5,682,000

Oct 2012 6,587,000

Number Unemployed for 15 Weeks & over

2009 4,771,000

Oct 2012 6,839,000

Number Unemployed for 27 Weeks & over

2009 2,696,000

Oct 2012 5,002,000

The number of people unemployed for 27 weeks or longer almost doubled under Obama!

Average Weeks Unemployed

2009 19.8

Oct 2012 40.2

The average weeks unemployed more than doubled!

Employment Level – Part-Time for Economic Reasons, Could Only Find Part-Time Work

2009 1,679,000

Oct 2012 2,614,000

Almost 1 million more people could only get part time work than when Obama took office!

Don’t take my word for it, look it up.

    Obama favored in his ancestral Kenyan village

    KOGELO, Kenya (AP) — Here in President Barack Obama’s ancestral village in Kenya, witch doctor John Dimo tossed some shells, bones and other items to determine who will win Tuesday’s election.

    After throwing the objects like so many dice outside his hut in Kogelo village, Dimo, who says he is 105 years old, points to a white shell and declares: “Obama is very far ahead and is definitely going to win.”

    November surprise: EPA planning major post-election anti-coal regulation
    November 4, 2012

    President Obama’s Environmental Protection Agency has devoted an unprecedented number of bureaucrats to finalizing new anti-coal regulations that are set to be released at the end of November, according to a source inside the EPA.

    More than 50 EPA staff are now crashing to finish greenhouse gas emission standards that would essentially ban all construction of new coal-fired power plants. Never before have so many EPA resources been devoted to a single regulation. The independent and non-partisan Manhattan Institute estimates that the EPA’s greenhouse gas coal regulation will cost the U.S. economy $700 billion.

  7. Where are all the American flags when Obama speaks at a campaign rally?

    I have NEVER seen a single flag at any of his appearances.

    Is it against his MUSLIM faith to appear in public with an American flag? After all he did say ;” when the political winds shift, I will stand with the Muslims”….remember?

    The SHADOW knows and soon all of America will know.

  8. Obama’s hate-the-rich rhetoric does resonate with a minority — the losers, the ungrateful, lazy and entitlement-junkies who showed up at the Occupy Wall Street protests. Think about that folks, these arrogant idiots have the audacity to demand that government confiscate the profits from entrepreneurs (risk-takers) to redistribute to them. And they call that ‘fairness.” The day a majority of Americans side with such low-life scum is the day we cease being a great nation.

  10. The Impostor Must Go!

    November 4, 2012 By Gabor Zolna

    Obama is a fraud, and so is our Congress for having allowed this impostor to bring America down to its knees. Our system of Government no longer works when there is an impostor allowed to play president, and not a single member of Congress is willing to honor their oath of office by simply questioning his eligibility.

    RMinNC,
    I believe if the usurper had his way the black flag of Al Queda would be flying over the capitol building. The bastard is part of the Muslim Brotherhood.

  12. Remember, regardless of the outcome of the election, the usurper is still not eligible to be President of the U.S.A., and the laws passed, and signed by this usurper must be voided, along with his executive orders, and appointments.

    ===============================
    Bob,
    Remember, while our school children were reciting the Pledge of Allegiance every morning from 1967 to 1971, Barack Hussein Obama was in Indonesia reciting the Islamic call to prayer in perfect Arabic. Patriotism was not instilled in his heart as a child like American children, but instead devotion to Allah.

  14. Bessie

    I agree with you 100% and join you in this effort and urge others to do the same. Enough is enough. Let them hear you voices, let them know we will not tolerate the batant corruption any longer.

  15. Thank You Whistleblower; we have to let them know we have a voice, we see what they are doing and they will not get away with it!

  16. After listening to Fox last night, I am extremely perturbed over their insistence that this election is going to be very close. Fox has bought into the same line as the rest of the media. Why? I think it is “insurance” – They don’t want to stand out against the rest of the networks. Even Hannity is extremely cautious. Perhaps it is Saudi influence?

    One poll shows a dead heat of 47 for each Romney and Obama. Hey, wait!
    47 + 47 = 94. Where is the remaining 6%? (100% less 94% = 6%) Few even comment on that little factor. Presumably the 6% is for either undecideds, or those not willing to commit. History has shown that this group mostly will vote against the incumbent. Do the math. If 80% of the 6%, or nearly 5% go for Romney, 47 + 5 = 52 Romney and 48 for Obama.

    There are, of course, other polls which show like 48 and 48. There the remaining 4% is a smaller figure, but would still work out in Romney’s favor.

    It is going to be delightful to see how the talking heads at Fox try to spin the results tomorrow night.

  17. Beck did have a very chilling program on TV’s Blaze (Dish channel 212) last night re. “The Machine” and how the Dems have cheated in elections for decades and consider it par for the course. The Dems have this down to a science and, being devoid of conscience, consider stealing elections as the only way to go. Voter theft is rampant in this country and takes many shapes and forms. The Dems’ theory is that elections are meant to be “won”, regardless of how it is done, by hook or crook.

    Good morning, all. Have been burning my red candle for Romney for two weeks now. Got the empty chair also.

    ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    I don’t know the motivation of those who predict such a close race but in my opinion it will not serve the left well. It will only make those who care about the future of our country to turn out in droves! Despite the cheating, our side will prevail! (“Our side”… meaning those who still love America. Those who don’t want our children/grandchildren weighed down with unimaginable debt.)

  22. cabbyaz — Dick Morris of Fox News has predicted a landside victory for Romney. He said the polls are skewed because of over-sampling Democrat voters. Fox News is basing its report on the polls.

    The pollsters, like the mainstream Media, are trying to help Obama by creating the illusion that he will win. They want people to jump on the bandwagon. Thus polling, like the Media, has become a form of propaganda, not a scientific effort to discover the truth.

    Common sense and plain observation of reality show Romney is making a much better showing and having higher turnouts at his political gatherings than Obama. All Obama has to offer is his poor record and negative campaigning.

  23. Posted on November 5

    Charles C. Johnson:

    “WAS OBAMA ONCE AN INDONESIAN CITIZEN? HERE’S WHAT WE FOUND WHEN WE WENT THERE LOOKING”

    “Where does all this leave us, then? Here’s what we know:

    1. The document for the first-ever school Obama attended in Indonesia lists him as an Indonesian citizen (born in Hawaii) and a Muslim.

    2. Those claims would have benefited a young Obama as he continued his schooling.

    3. The Catholic priest who started the school, however, says it was not odd to lie about such things.

    4. We know that Obama and his family have a history of mistruths.

    5. But it’s also not far-fetched to consider that Obama’s step-father, Lolo, could have adopted him – thus making him an Indonesian citizen as a young boy.

    6. Even if he was adopted and was an Indonesian citizen at one time, though, it would not have affected his status as a U.S. citizen per the Supreme Court.

    Still, that leaves many questions. And the truth lies somewhere in those facts. Ultimately, only Obama knows for sure what that truth is. And depending on what happens on Tuesday we may or may not know anytime soon.

    An exit after one term from the White House could act as a catalyst for more information more quickly. An Obama win, on the other hand, would likely keep any information – at least from the president himself — sealed for at least four more years.”

    “The Indonesian”

    “Lolo still thought Barack Obama was Barry “Soebarkah” Soetoro, his son, in August of 1980, and he made that acknowledgement twice in his divorce.

    Stanley Ann Dunham was a manipulator of men and a player of the system — and Barry was both a ctizen of the United States (by birth) and a citizen of Indonesia (by adoption).

    We can demonstrate that little Barry was not on Stanley Ann’s passport, and we also can demonstrate that Barry was traveling between Jakarta and Honolulu during the late 1960s. Since he was not on his mother’s passport, and there is no record of him having an United States passport, we must conclude that he was traveling on an Indonsian passport.

    Now, we know that a child adopted by a foreign national has six months from their eighteenth birthday to asasert their United States citizenship. Obama was in California, attending Occidental during this period — his doping and partying period — and it is likely that it never occurred to him to make this assertion. He taveled to Indonesia the following summer.

    I contend he did that using his Indonesian passport — a willful act — and that willful act cost him his United States citizenship.

    It is highly probable, that under the law, Barack Obama is an Indonesian citizen to this day.”

  25. I have just watched Obama’s interview on “60 Minutes” with Steve Kroft….the one that Kroft edits to fit Obama’s changing dialogue on the subject of Benghazi….Obama has a ‘tell’ when he lies….When Obama lies he looks down and away…He did this in every interview, go to youtube and look up his interviews with Joy Behar, David Letterman, Steve Kroft, that KUSA interview with the local Dever news and The Daily Show….every time, he looks down and away…

  26. Retired Admiral James lyon , commander of the Pacific Fleet, said today on Fox News that Obama’s action concerning the Benghazi affair was bordering on TREASON….

    I would take that one step further and call it TREASON.

    We have not seen the end of Benghazi, one way or the other after this election….

    If Obama knowingly refused help to those four Americans….he is guilty of TREASON….period.

  27. Who called it anywhere close in 2010? Did anyone? If you can name that one, then I will pay attention to that poll. Otherwise, I assume that these polls have OBVIOUSLY been manipulated for the sake of ratings for the various news outlets. To bad we don’t have a news outlet that pursues truth. Not even Fox.

  28. I have a serious question :

    If Obama is still an Indonesian citizen as GORDO thinks ( and I fell the same way), can he be tried for TREASON?

    Can a citizen of a foreign country (Indonesia) (Obama or Soetoro) who has unlawfully usurped the highest office in the United States (the presidency), be held accountable and tried for treason since he is not legally a citizen of this country?

    Or will we just have to deport his Indonesian butt and call it even?

  29. I just have the feeling that tomorrow will be a Romney blow-out, and the press, some pollsters and the ovomits are just hoping they have enough cheaters to carry the day.
    I’ll be watching, waiting and tuned to ALL news, guns/ammo at
    the ready with care, in hopes that the boogey man stays in his lair.

    Just an accident? I don’t think so, but the overriding question is what, and why? What is Obama hiding? And, why is he using such extreme measures to hide it?

    With his willing accomplices in the ObamaMedia, Obama has succeeded in evading the eligibility issue and seizing power.

    And we still don’t know who the hell he is — or where he comes from — or who sent him.”

  33. re-posting from a previous thread and cleaned up the format

    Romney…93,432,902 /67% / 380 electoral
    Obama…..46,013,553 /33% / 158 electoral

    This is the why

    In 2008 129 million voted, 20% liberals, 40% conservatives, 40% independents. Independents broke for Obama 6 to 1 over McCain. Independents felt anger and frustrated with Bush’s last few years of nation building and out of control
    spending. McCain was viewed neutral to slightly negative. Obama was viewed positive to very positive as his promises targeted the independents for smaller deficits withdrawals from wars and no nation building. Obama promised to bring Americans together to solve problems. Without any track record or history of achievements the
    independents gave him an opportunity and swung for him 6 to 1 on his
    word.

    2008
    Obama 69,498,215 54% / 365 electoral
    McCain 59,498,240 46% / 173 electoral

    Liberals Obama…………..25,934,687 20%
    Conservatives. McCain..51,869,374 40%
    Independents Obama…..43,563,528 34%
    Independents McCain…….8,078,866 6%
    Others……………………………..226,979 2%
    Total 2008 votes………….129,673,434 100%

    2012
    Obama…..46,013,553 33% / 158 electoral
    Romney…93,432,902 67% / 380 electoral probably more

    Liberals Obama……………25,934,687 20%
    Conservatives. Romney…51,869,374 40%
    Independents Romney…..43,563,528 34%
    Independents Obama……….8,078,866 6%
    Others……………………………….226,979 2%
    Total 2008 votes…………..129,673,434 100%
    Additional Turnout 2012
    Obama…………………………….2,000,000
    Romney……………………………8,000,000

    Total votes 2012,,,,,,,,,..,,,,,139,673,434

    Adjustment for voter Fraud
    Add To Obama…………………10,000,000
    Subtract From Romney……..10,000,000

    Start out 2012 the same 129,673,434 that voted in 2008 but now Obama has not delivered and is trended negative to very negative and there is a long list to firm up
    this position. Romney since the debates has trended slightly positive to positive. With this adjustment from 2008 to 2012 we switch independents from 6 to 1 Obama to 6 to 1 Romney.Next we add an additional 10 million voters due to a consistent progression of voter turnout since1960 which has averaged 5 million per presidential election an
    additional 5 million for supercharged electorate environment since 2010 midterms. This 10 million additional voter turnout is mostly a protest vote against Obama and socialistic liberalism. We give Obama the benefit of 2 million and Romney 8 million just to play it safe.
    Last but not least we adjust Obama up 10 million and Romney down 10 million to cover additional voter fraud this is over and above the fraud in 2008 as Obama’s has his key players in control for the last 4 years. This will translate into at
    least 380 electoral votes for Romney
    does this make sense ?

  34. The Washington Post reporting today:

    “The Washington Post reports today Obama will spend his day (election day) playing pick-up basketball in Chicago. Sure, there are still millions out of power on the East Coast. Sure, we still have no details on why four Americans were murdered in Benghazi. But, says the Post, this is an Obama election day tradition. And so, Obama has called “body man” Reggie Love to put together the game”. I don’t think Obama has basketball on his “way down low mind”.

    What they are really saying is Obama can get his Chicao queer buddies, maybe Rahm is free too, and share a few hoops…and maybe some down low activity .Might as well make it a threesome, Obama, Love, and Rahm. God, what a disgusting team.

    After Tuesday, Obama may have plenty of time to go play hoops, or play down low .

    After all, that “down low stuff” is a man’s game.

  35. Well, it’s been a very long 4-5 years, and I can now say that I single handedly converted 3 (08) Obama voters to (2012) Romney voters.

    Not many, but these were die-hard democrats!

    I am on my 39th day of the 40 day prayer vigil…Looks like we are getting help from up above

  36. RMINNC……….Re; 4:27 PM……..
    There is only one thing wrong with what you said……..SEXUAL DEVIATES are NOT MEN, they are SLIMEY,SICK, MENTAL DEGENERATES. In the 1950s such BASTARDS were dealt with by the military via SECTION 8 discharges, which is rightfully the way it should STILL be. You will also notice that we have not won a war since WW2. If George Patton,Omar Bradley,Ike Eisenhower,and Douglas MacArthur were all alive today they would all be lined up side by side at the POOP CHUTE pukeing up their buttholes after seeing what is LOOSELY referred to as the MILITARY by todays so called society.

  37. ……..I normally try very hard to speak ONLY for myself, I would NOT BE AFRAID to venture a guess that MOST of the rest of the VETS of the WW2-Korea War era would probably say pretty much the same thing.

  38. ….and that is the primary reason why MENTAL DEGENERATES should NEVER be allowed to serve in the Military services. This speaks totally to COHESION which will NEVER happen between a deviate,and a straight grunt. I would suspect,that if a queer was assigned to a combat patrol he would have a hell of a time finding a straight grunt who would even share his foxhole with him. Cohesion is an absolute necessity if you are to have a totally BONDED group,because they effectively become a “BAND OF BROTHERS”, and as such are the most effective soldiers in combat situations. NOT THEORY………PROVEN FACT!

  39. OLDSALIOR…

    Oh I agree with you old friend…

    I was just trying to be SARCASTIC….Obama is a CHICAGO STREET PUNK……that only quailifies him for a down low club membership.

    I hope in the near future his homosexual activities are made known to the public so they can see the garbage we have had sitting in the White House for the past 4 years.

  40. ……….further,if the aforementioned Generals were to look upon todays so called JOINT CHIEFS they would probably decide that the word JOINT referrs to a Marijuana cigarette, hence a DRUG HEAD GENERAL/ADMIRAL. The only recent field commander who I would rank with his WW2 counterparts would be General Norman Schwartzkopf. At least he knew how to conduct a massive invasion WW2 style,as he so aptly demonstrated.

    I would HOPE that most people already know the dirty, sick deviated mentality of Soetoro, and what such a mental deviate’s mind is fixated upon for 24hrs, of each day. Such a person having such an affliction CANNOT effectively think about anything else, as he very recently PROVED for the WORLD TO SEE,and HEAR regarding his inability to either THINK,or ACT,within the capacity of the OFFICE he (ALLEGEDLY) holds. In this particular instance he caused the death of 4 others. He should rightfully have been IMMEDIATELY IMPEACHED, ARRESTED,PROSECUTED, and IMPRISONED.

  42. RMINNC………………
    What I said a few comments back was NOT MEANT TO BE CRITICAL OF YOU, rather it was intended to RE INFORCE what you had said. I realise that it might not have sounded like that but REST ASSURED it WAS INTENDED to RE INFORCE.

  43. To both OldSailor and RMinNC,
    Yesterday I chose to watch an old WWII movie, “Run Silent, Run Deep”, about submarine battles in the Pacific. My, I never realized what confined quarters the men have to occupy for such long periods of time and under such perilous conditions. There certainly would be no room or place for sexual deviates to destroy the cohesiveness required in battle conditions.

    Bummer has done his work well in attempting to destroy the effectiveness of our military in more ways than one. If he should be reelected – God forbid – there will be no end to what he intends to do unless Congress gets off of its rear end and decides to intervene. In the meantime untold damage has been done.

    You need to keep in mind that a movie is just that. It may or may not accurately portray the Submarine Service which existed during WW2. There was a few subs that were LOST in battle with the Japanese. There is little mention of our losses. You are however quite right otherwise. Even female sailors were NOT ALLOWED in the Submarine Service until recently. Now females can be assigned after training to a submarine. I personally believe that females in ANY military combatant role is a very sad situation which again reflects the insane reasoning of our alleged military planners. Even in a submerged submarine there are combat casualty situations to which QUICK,DECISIVE,ACTION IS NECESSARY……….such casuslties include heavy lifting,and sheer male strength is required,as in the case of shoring strained bulkheads resulting from battle damage. You MUST KNOW WHAT TO DO ON AN IMMEDIATE BASIS otherwise the ship could flood and sink with all hands. There is not time to wait while the female and male crewmember are pursuing another matter. It hasn’t worked on SURFACE ships and Delores’s son has told me that it has resulted in the same exact sort of circumstances as it did on the surface ships.(a high percentage of pregnancies). Everybody seems to think that the tour of duty is really a cruise on a submerged LOVE BOAT. Delores’s son retired from 20 years in the Submarine Service in 2008. He has sailed on both BOOMERS,and on FAST TACS. He made it to E-6. He said that the females being allowed on submarines has driven a hell of a lot of very qualified PETTY OFFICERS out of the Sub Service,and many out of the Navy entirely.

  45. Thanks, OldSailor, for your comments. While I was watching the movie my thoughts were on you veterans, and I was wondering what your impressions would have been. The movie was on TCM with no ads. It was immensely exciting and gave me a good idea of what dangers exist and what life would be like, even though it was drama. It also gave one a good example of “chain of command”.

    Wow, I can see where females on subs would be quite a distraction. There seems to be very little space just for ordinary living. Bunks are very close, and there is little elbow room. At one point one sailor was left up on deck accidently and it was quite difficult to get him down under, as the sub was then under attack. It gave one a good idea of the drills they performed in order to be able to fire torpedoes speedily, etc. There had to be intense cooperation among the hands, and females, or perverts, could be a strong deterrent to safety.

  46. Instead of jobs we have an expencive obama care. Instead of jobs we have higher taxes that will be piled on top of obama care. Instead of jobs we have multipal costly regulations all of these things are job replacement. Great choice American voters. You voted us into a great depression.
