Well, well, well, apparently Barry's Labor Department has decided that it has within its power the ability to aid Barry in his quest for re-election. Because those in the position do so said on Monday that the decision has yet to be made on whether or not it will delay the release of Friday’s closely-watched October employment report due to the effects from Hurricane Sandy. Federal government offices in Washington are closed Monday and may be shut again Tuesday due to the storm. It isn’t clear if the closure would cause a delay in processing the data.
"We will assess the situation when the weather emergency is over and notify the press and public of any changes at that time," said Gary Steinberg, spokesman for the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the data arm of the department and I'm quite sure a very dedicated supporter of Barry "Almighty." The Labor Department is also scheduled to release its third quarter employment cost index Wednesday, and the third quarter productivity and weekly jobless claims reports Thursday. The most closely watched is Friday’s jobs report, which will give the final measure the unemployment ahead of next week’s presidential election.
I'm sure we all remember how it was in September, that we were told the unemployment rate somehow fell to 7.8%, which, if real, would be the lowest level since Barry took office back on that very dark day in January 2009. Meanwhile, we're told that the economy has somehow added 114,000 that month. The surveys for the October employment report were conducted earlier this month. The unemployment rate comes from a survey of 60,000 households and the jobs figures comes from the establishment survey of 141,000 business and agencies.
However, what we are now being told is that it remains unclear whether government statisticians and others will be able complete the complicated preparation of the jobs report before scheduled release time due to the weather and associated power outages and transportation disruptions. A Census official said that agency too has made "no decision" on delaying economic data reports due out later this week. The Census, part of the Department of Commerce, is scheduled to release the construction spending report Thursday and the factory order data Friday. Right, this just gets curiouser and curiouser.
And oddly enough, coming along at pretty much the same time as this announcement by the Labor Department, and something that I'm quite sure was nothing more than a pure coincidence, we had Barry’s top campaign strategist, David 'My Mommy Was A Commie' Axelrod, telling reporters that the Romney campaign would not be buoyed by a bad jobs report on Friday, the weekend before Election Day. Romney’s various reasons for confidence include the belief that "bad jobs number Friday could give final lift," as Politico’s Mike Allen noted in his assessment of things.
"That is kind of a perverse sentiment," Axelrod said in response on a conference call today. "I think they’re going to be disappointed." Oh, now isn't that more than a little ironic. With all of the sleazy crap this bunch of slimy characters have pulled and to then malign the Romney campaign as possess a "perverse sentiment." This guy, Axelrod, is the personification of the word, perverse. The Department of Labor may delay the release of the jobs numbers. "A Labor official said the agency will assess the schedule for all its data releases this week when the ‘weather emergency’ is over," The Wall Street Journal reported today.
Election after election it just never ceases to amaze me the lengths to which these corrupt Democrats feel they can go in their effort to make to manipulate the outcome. And I feel pretty confident in saying that you'd be pretty hard pressed to find a group of more corrupt Democrats than this bunch currently under employ of the man now vying for re-election. And it always at the same time that they're working to steal one election or another, that they are very busy trying to claim that it's really the Republicans that we all need to be wary of when it comes to making sure elections don't get stolen.
