Assume that the revelations surrounding the 2012 UE rate are validated and it is proved that the Obama admin manipulated the numbers before election as the NY Post reported.

At what point to the most principled democrats step and and renounce Obama?

Bush went rogue and many of us principled conservatives called him to the carpet. I couldn't support the guy; I wrote him a letter asking for my campaign contribution back. I wasn't going to vote for the other camp, but I didn't have to support him in 2004.

If the allegations from the BLS employees are true, and they changed the numbers at the request of the White House, will you at least admit he's a lying scum bucket? You don't have to alter your beliefs and ideology to take him to task. You can still believe in unicorns and rainbows. I think at a minimum, though, you could rebuke the guy.

"The employee who was caught two years ago, one Julius Buckmon, told the Post in an interview that he “faked” the numbers at the direction of his supervisors."

You can read the whole story at the NY Post.

IT IS A FACT THAT NO PRESIDENT EVER GETS VOTED OUT OF OFFICE DURING A "CRISIS"

So they created the hurricane, what'ya gonna do punk!

Default Census faked 2012 election jobs report

More on the Criminal in Chief:

Quote:
In the home stretch of the 2012 presidential campaign, from August to September, the unemployment rate fell sharply — raising eyebrows from Wall Street to Washington.

The decline — from 8.1 percent in August to 7.8 percent in September — might not have been all it seemed. The numbers, according to a reliable source, were manipulated.

And the Census Bureau, which does the unemployment survey, knew it.

Just two years before the presidential election, the Census Bureau had caught an employee fabricating data that went into the unemployment report, which is one of the most closely watched measures of the economy.

And a knowledgeable source says the deception went beyond that one employee — that it escalated at the time President Obama was seeking reelection in 2012 and continues today.

“He’s not the only one,” said the source, who asked to remain anonymous for now but is willing to talk with the Labor Department and Congress if asked....

I saw that. No wonder the supposed "drop" in the unemployment rate didn't make sense to anyone. It wasn't real.

That's why you should follow shadowstats.
They have no political axe to grind and have no vested interest in the numbers.

Liberals, of course, lapped up these propaganda numbers as the gospel truth. Why? They have sacrificed thier ability to process information in exchange for fanatacism and support of ONE MAN.

Obama has had SO MANY lies and deceptions that this revelation is more expected, than shocking. When, in the course of his presidency, has he ever told the truth?

I would be more shocked if we found Obama has actually been truthful in any aspect of his presidency. This administration will make the Harding, Grant, and Nixon administrations look clean and honest.

I follow shadowstats which shows us at about 24% unemployment (both long term and short term unemployed).
