Census ‘faked’ 2012 election jobs report
"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."
Buckmon, it turns out, was a very ambitious employee.
He conducted three times as many household interviews as his peers, my source said.
By making up survey results — and, essentially, creating people out of thin air and giving them jobs —
BuckmonÂ’s actions could have lowered the jobless rate.
Buckmon said he filled out surveys for people he couldnÂ’t reach by phone or who didnÂ’t answer their doors.

"President Obama touted the new and lower unemployment rate today,
using the occasion to pressure congressional Republicans into passing his jobs program.
"Republicans in Congress need to stop trying to re-fight the battles of the past few years, and finally start doing something to actually help the middle class get ahead," Obama said in his Saturday radio address.
He spoke a day after the Labor Department reported that the unemployment rate had dropped from 8.1% to 7.8%.
Obama touts 7.8% jobless rate
Do you think Obama planned this? OF course not! He didn't need to... He is the CEO of the country. He wants people that run departments like the Census that thinks like he does!
Remember Obama is the smartest president we've ever had!
