Maybe you should go to the BLS website and educate yourself on the statistics they collect and the various ways they assess the different layers of unemployment.

Obama only cares about his own unemployment coming soon.

I am going to tell you NOPE. People i know who lost a job and half their homes also under Mr. Obama, are not thinking of screwing him in anyways,. Hate to put it like that but true.

They were pissed as hell at him, for promising them Hope n' Change and prospering businesses. What they got were pink slips. The only think they thought about, was staying afloat, and trying to survive, in a negative situation.

When you have a home, mortgage, bills, the basics, health insurance, car insurance, etc, it is pure utter hell, how you are going to provide for your family. Your pissed because you have a President who on a false premise of Hope n' Change which was a gosh dang lie. Lost their jobs, some of over twenty yrs.

Really think they gave Obama any good thoughts! The risk of sabotaging, Obama, was not worth the risk of them maybe finding a job. Many of them could not find a decent paying, with benefit job as the one they had. Very sad, when this hits home, and you know many friends from around the Country who lost jobs, and half their homes.
The realm of reality is not known, unless unemployment has hit your home, or someone close to you.

Those numbers don't accurately portray the true amount of unemployment - if the number is too high - it might hurt the president's chances of being re-elected and that just wouldn't do.
