MEDIA BIAS: Chris Matthews Says Unemployment Was Well Past 10% When Obama Took Office, Um Sorry Tingles, It Was Only 7.8%
More MSM Bias and lies …
Chris “Tingle Up My Leg” Matthews continues the MSM propaganda for Barack Obama and continues to spew a false narrative of actual facts that existed prior to Obama coming into office. Matthews stated that the unemployment rate was over 10% and skyrocketing. Really, over 10%? Interestingly enough the facts show that the unemployment rate was 7.8% when he took office. Actually, this was the lowest that the unemployment rate has been during the Obama Presidency as we have had 43+ months at +8%, event though Obama and his minions promised it would go below 8% after passing his trillion dollar, not shovel ready stimulus.
“When your guy left town, Dubya – who nobody asked him to come back by the way at the Republican convention – unemployment was well past ten percent and skyrocketing.”
Matthews stated that the unemployment rate was over 10% and skyrocketing when his Obamamessiah took office. That is just a false statement and intended lie to put forth to the American people to deceive them. According to the US Labor Department the unemployment rate was 7.8%. So why would Tingles feel the need to lie? Obviously, the MSM has to aid Obama to get reelected despite Obama’s terrible economic record and failed policies to help create job growth in America.
Question, how does NBC allow such a statement by Matthews to be put forth and not responded to as false? Of course this is coming from a news network that allowed the doctored and edited tape to be put forth of the George Zimmerman 911 call. But when the skewing of the news and out right lies benefit Obama, mums the word. The Lonely Conservative has more from MSNBC MSU news.
UPDATE I: However, as reported at ZeroHedge.com the real Unemployment Rate hits 11.7% as spread between the reported and propaganda data hits record.
Today’s reported unemployment rate: 8.1%. The reason: the labor “participation” dropped to a 31 year low 63.5% as reported earlier. Of course, this number is pure propaganda, and makes no sense for one simple reason: despite the economic collapse started in December 2007, the US civilian non-institutional population since then has grown by 186,000 people every month on average hitting an all time high of 243,566,000 in August. These people need a job, and the traditional shorthand is that at least 100,000 jobs have the be generated every month for the unemployment rate to merely stay flat, let along improve. So what does one get when one uses the long-term average of the past 30 or so years which happens to be 65.8%? One gets an unemployment number that is 45% higher than the reported 8.1%, or 11.7%.

Barack Obama, NO HE CAN’T, …”You can’t change Washington from the inside” … What Happened to 2008, “I can bring Change?”
CHANGE YOU CAN’T BELIEVE IN …
Talk about an “EPIC FAILURE”. Barack Obama, who ran on “Hope & Change” in 2008, who ran on the idea that he would bring change to Washington, DC now admits … NO HE CAN’T. As reported at the Politico, Obama says, “You can’t change Washington from the inside”. HUH? My what a difference 4 years makes and a completely failed Presidency. Dear Mr. President, are you completely clueless or once again can you just not take responsibility for your ineptness? It does not matter whether one is on the inside or the outside, change comes about through strong, persuasive leadership and a message, agenda and policy that actually is better than what was in place. Might I remind everyone that Obama had control of the House and Senate for the first two years of his administration. What did he change? Let’s face it, Obama just can’t get the job done and need to go.
A surprising comment from President Barack Obama, at the Univision forum in Florida earlier, on things he has learned after four years: “You can’t change Washington from the inside.”
It’s a tricky thing to claim outsider status after serving in the White House for four years (and in the Senate before that), after running on a hope and change message, and it is not an especially helpful comment for a president running for reelection with a plea to voters to let him finish the work he began but hasn’t closed out.
The rest of his statement was about doing more to involve the public to bring change from the “outside,” which is more in line with what he said before. But if the small pool of persuadable voters see Obama as saying Washington is irretrievably broken, even for him, they could be open to a fresh case from his opponent.
In 2008 Obama said he would bring change, “I can bring a lot of people along on my coattails”.
That was then, this is now. Suddenly Obama can’t bring change from the inside. After all his promises, after all this pandering … “NO HE CAN’T. So Obama can’t change Washington from the inside, he says, you can aonly change Washington from the Outside. America … its your job in 2012 to put Obama on the outside. Jammie Wearing Fool compares Obama’s glaring gaffe of change to Romney’s so-called secret tape mishap. Which one do you the the liberal, corrupt mead complex will focus on?
From the Washington Free Beacon:
“The most important lesson I’ve learned is that you can’t change Washington from the inside,” he told a Univision forum Thursday. “You can only change it from the outside.”
Return of the Jedi … Mitt Romney Responds to Leaked Fundraiser Video & Points Out Difference of His Vision and Obama’s Failed Economic Policies … Remember what Alexis de Tocqueville Said
“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations has been 200 years.”
Alexis de Tocqueville
Mitt Romney responds to the tape that was leaked at Mother Jones and comments on what he meant when he referenced the 47%. Romney stood by his comments and why not? Does anyone not think there are differences between the two candidates? Does anyone not think that Reelect Obama is not parsing out voting blacks and seeing what Democrat traditional voting blacks will be there for them in November? Romney stated that Obama starts out with 47, 48, 49 percent who will vote for him no matter what. He then said that he does the same, or at least he hoped so. Romney described the Q & A session where it was his job to appeal to some who voted for Obama last time and who were in the middle.
It should hardly come as a shock to Obama, Democrats, Liberals or the corrupt liberal media complex that those who do not presently pay taxes are hardly going to be swayed by Romney’s promises of lowering tax rates. Those who have become permantly entrenched in government dependence will vote for big government Obama. Nuthing from nuthin is still nuthin.
“Of course, there’s a very different approach of the two campaigns. As I point out that among those that pay no tax, approximately 47% of Americans, I’m not likely to be highly successful with a message of lowering taxes. That’s not as attractive to those who don’t pay income taxes as to those who do. And likewise, those who are reliant on government are not as attracted to my message of slimming down the size of government…
The president and I have two very different approaches to the future of America and what it takes to ignite our economy and put people back to work. The president believes in what I describe as a government centered society. Where government plays a larger and larger role and plays more and more of the needs of individuals. And, I happen to believe instead in a free enterprise, free individual society where people pursuing their dreams are able to employ one another, build enterprises, build the strongest economy in the world. I happen to believe that my approach is the approach that will put 23 million people back to work again.
We’ve watched the approach of the president’s approach over the last 3 1/2 or 4 years. And his government centric, larger and larger government approach has meant that we have 15 million more people on food stamps, 23 million people out of work or stopped looking for work, or underemployed. We have had 43 straight months of unemployment above 8%. And my view is the right approach for the nation is not to adopt a government centered approach but instead a free, free people, free enterprise, free market consumer driven approach and that will build the strongest economy for ourselves and for the coming generations.”
In the end a line has to be drawn. Obama, Biden and Democrats talk so much about it being Patriotic to pay taxes. So does that mean that Obama and Biden are saying that the 47% who do not pay taxes are Un-Patriotic? That would be the meme if a GOP President or VP had made such a comment.
Make no mistake about it America, you have two choices in 2012 … a free America where all have an opportunity to succeed and those most vulnerable are protected or a Big Government Nanny state where you can be average, kept and in servitude to the government. Its Your choice.
Mitt Romney Says … Obama Supporters Fail to Take Responsibility For Their Own Lives & Will Vote for Obama No Matter What
Mitt Romney, the GOP candidate for Presidential told donors earlier this year that Obama supporters fail to take responsibility for their own lives and that no matter what they will vote for Barack Obama as they believe that the government is responsible to take take of them and they are entitled to pretty much everything including healthcare. This is being lauded as a secret tape from Mother Jones, a gotcha moment. Sorry Ma Jones, it sounds pretty much on par to what Romney and Obama have been saying already.
There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what. All right, there are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it. That that’s an entitlement. And the government should give it to them. And they will vote for this president no matter what…These are people who pay no income tax.
Let us not forget that during the 2008 campaign Obama promised JOBS, JOBS, JOBS. Then during every State of the Union Address, Obama promised who would laser focus on JOBS. He has done nothing of the sort and instead sadly created a government dependent class. One might say that was Obama’s intentions all along.
Who does not think that individuals need to boot strap themselves and take responsibility for their lives? I actually give KUDOS to Romney for saying it like it is. Although I tend to disagree some what with the percentage, I would say that about 40% probably would vote for Obama because they believe America is an entitlement society. There are some who need a safety net, the truly disabled included. Sorry, but there are many in America who leach off of the system and others. C’mon folks, we all know individuals that do so. The 47% dependency class is a number and points to those who do pay no taxes, yet benefit the most from other hard working, tax paying individuals. As stated at Hot Air, how else can we explain how a GOP convention hammered home the terrible US economy, high unemployment, record food stamp recipients and most importantly, reminding us of many small business owners that “you did build it”.
So how can anyone explain how Obama has a positive approval rating and is tied/ahead in the polls and garners a constant 45-47%? Because there are those who will vote for Obama even if we had a Depression. However, enough of the hypocrisy of so-called writing voters off. Doug Ross reminds us that Obama takes part in the same game. How do those folks who cling to their Bibles and guns feel? Written off? Obama wrote off the white working class a long time ago.
Enough of a four minute so-called secret gotcha tape of Mitt Romney that the liberal, corrupt media complex will exploit to further Obama’s campaign reelection. Any honest American will look back over the past four years and realize that Barack Obama’s policy and agenda has been terrible for America and the so-called 47%. Personally, I believe in uplifting the “47%” and creating an environment that is conclusive to getting them back to work, not creating a dependent cradle to grave government dependency.
President Barack Obama Says, If GOP Wants Me ‘To Walk the Dog or Wash Their Car, I’m Happy to Do It’
The United Stated economy is headed over the cliff and the Middle East is on fire and Obama is still in the silly season as the most partisan and divisive President ever now says, can’t we all just get along. Obama lower the federal deficit? Since when has Obama ever been concerned with lowering the deficit? Obama promised in 2008 he would reduce the deficit in half, all he has done is increase it like no other president before him. Actually like almost all other presidents combined before him.
Even though under Obama’s first term in office the United States has had 43+ consecutive months of unemployment over 8%, record federal debt including over $5 trillion under this president, record number of people on food stamps and Obama makes the following foolish comment, “If GOP Wants Me ‘To Walk the Dog or Wash Their Car, I’m Happy to Do It”. After nearly four years of not listening to Republicans, after nearly four years of Obama and Democrats insulting and calling the GOP Nazi’s and that the GOP wants to harm old people, children and pollute the air … 50 days out from an election Obama now wants to play nice? Give me a break.
President Barack Obama, on the stump in the swing state of Ohio on Monday, said that in working with Republicans to reduce the deficit, he was willing to show “more love” and even “wash their car” to get the job done.
While speaking in Cincinnati on Monday, Obama said, “The only thing they [Republicans] can do is keep trying to bluff their way through until November, and hope that you won’t call them on it. But understand Cincinnati, look, I want to work with them to reduce the deficit. I’ve said if the Republicans need more love, if they want me to walk the dog or wash their car, I’m happy to do it.”
Obama wants to work with the GOP like when he and Democrats did with ramming Obamacare down the throats of Americans against the will of the people? How about like that Obama $1 trillion stimulus package that was so bi-partisan?
The Lonely Conservative nails it with the best line of the day, “The guy who goes out of his way to skirt Congress every chance he gets. He’d eat their dogs before he’d work with Republicans, at least the ones with principles.” Amen Sister!
