This isn't a surprise to me. This Administration has consistently lied about the Unemployment Rate. The real Unemployment Rate is much much higher than their 9.6% number. It's all lies coming from this Administration. They've been cooking the books since day one. The real Unemployment Rate is well up into double digits. Look for them to claim the rate is going down right before November 2nd. Desperate times for the Democrats. Make 2010 count people.
So your theory is, Obama is fiddling the books at BLS? Is he also fiddling them at Gallop? Lay off the paranoia bullshit, LibocalypseNow.
I don't blame Obama specifically for the under reporting of unemployed. All people under retirement age and not disabled without a job should be included in the unemplyment numbers in my opinion.
It does not matter so much to me who's in and who's out; what matters more is that they use the same measuring stick over time so I can see trends. I think everyone understands the numbers are an estimate and 10% is seriously bad.
