You know whats funny about this conspiracy theory?
The fact that a strong showing by Romney in the 1st debate is totally irrelevant.
How many times I gotta hear about Big Bird?
If you choose to believe strong job numbers can only mean they were manipulated my Obama then it doesn't matter how you vote, Obama can manipulate the election too! Probably changes the price of oil and the value of the dollar as well!
Such is the power of the President. Probably explains why George Bush is still President.
For 4 years Republicans have been using BLS numbers to bash Obama, Never once did they ever question the accuracy of the Bureau of Labor Statistics figures as long as they made Obama look like an ineffective impotant president who was unable to have any positive influence on unemployment. Now, when the numbers show a drop below the benchmark 8 percent level, now suddenly the BLS is deemed to be corrupt and being manipulated by the President of the United States.
So which is it, the BLS is lying now, or they were lying then? You can't have it both ways.

Najdi: Even if he is doing that, the question is: "Are people living better now after he took the rule over?"

Just a month before this BS BLS report their was a report about all the new peoeple on foodstamps, on SSI disability, and all those that just stopped lookig for jobs. About all the people who had taken low wage work just have something instead of nothing. Add to this its the Christmas shopping season coming only part time/ short time workers get hired in huge amounts for that, just to be let go right after Christmas.
A couple of days ago on CNN Hilda Solis The Labor Secretary was asked if it was possible that the unemployment rate number was altered. Her one word answer was "Ludicrous".
She went on to say that 5.2 Million private sector jobs have been created during 3.5 years of the Obama administration.
Furthermore, Obama is one of only five presidents to see the Dow Jones Industrial Average gain 50 percent or more through his first three years in office, according to a report from Bespoke Investment Group. Obama, who has overseen a 60 percent gain in the Dow since taking office, joins two Democrats, Bill Clinton and Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and two Republicans, Calvin Coolidge and Dwight D. Eisenhower in the club.
Republican presidential candidates and other critics have derided Obama for not doing enough to help businesses during his tenure. But the evidence may prove otherwise. As of early November, Wall Street firms had earned more under Obama than during all eight years of George W. Bush's presidency, even as he's slammed bankers as "fat cats."
Wynn On Obama: "I'll Be Damned If I Want To Have Him Lecture Me"
On the Tuesday broadcast of the nightly Nevada political program "Ralston Reports," Steve Wynn, CEO of Wynn Resorts sat down with host Jon Ralston to discuss the presidential election. Wynn, an outspoken critic of President Obama, didn't hold back in his latest criticism of the incumbent president seeking a second term. "I'll be damned if I want to have him lecture me about small business and jobs. I'm a job creator. Guys like me are job creators and we don't like having a bulls-eye painted on our back," Wynn said about Obama to Ralston. An excerpt of the interview is below. WYNN: I've created about 250,000 direct and indirect jobs according to the state of Nevada's measurement. If the number is 250,000, that's exactly 250,000 more than this president, who I'll be damned if I want to have him lecture me about small business and jobs. I'm a job creator. Guys like me are job creators and we don't like having a bulls-eye painted on our back. The president is trying to put himself between me and my employees. By class warfare, by deprecating and calling a group that makes money 'billionaires and millionaires who don't pay their share.' I gave 120% of my salary and bonus away last year to charities, as I do most years. I can't stand the idea of being demagogued, that is put down by a president who has never created any jobs and who doesn't even understand how the economy works. Wynn on a scrapped business plan: "I'm afraid of the president. I have no idea what goofy idea, what crazy, anti-business program this administration will come up. I have no idea. And I have to tell you Jon that every business guy I know in the country is frightened of Barack Obama and the way he thinks."

Nothing new about that. All of the Obama administrations words are ludicrous.

Amazing isn't it? The economy is dying yet the price of stocks keeps going up.
Why even the food sitting on the supermarket shelves has doubled its "value" under Obama's term.
If Obama keeps printing up more monopoly money we will all be billionaires before you know it.
And of course stock prices will continue to go up as the dollars value continues to decline.
RayfromUSA: And let's clear up one big misrepresentation here.
No president of either party can ever "create" private sector jobs.
Government interference in the private sector doesn't create jobs, it destroys jobs.
Amen
Businessmen create jobs by building a business that hires people. No Gov makes any jobs and never has made any jobs! The fact is that the money every Gov uses to pay for the people they hire is "our" money! The Gov really doesn't have ANY money it ALL belongs to the people!
