How do we make the most deceitful president since Richard Nixon (the father of "Deadbeat Nation") honest about the economy and the true state of unemployment which is currently at a dreadful 11.4% when millions of discouraged unemployed workers are factored in? This can be accomplished by Obama's Republican rival making the truth a burning campaign issue, and pledging when President to count as unemployed jobless Americans who have fallen off the unemployment rolls-who stopped looking for work because there's nothing out there for them.
To defeat Obama the GOP nominee needs to challenge him during the debates to stop fudging the numbers and come clean about the real, true unemployment rate; then he must pledge that one of his first acts as President will be to order the Bureau of Labor Statistics to stop the smoke and mirrors trickery about who is and is not unemployed by once again including millions of discouraged workers in its statistics; he must pledge to do it the way it was done prior to 1994 (before Clinton changed it (see)) when the jobless who stopped looking for work were counted as Unemployed Civilian Workers along with everyone else. What a blow this would be to Obama's credibility that the economy is recovering and moving in the right direction; and that he's saved and created millions of jobs preventing by his policies a second Great Depression. U-1, U-2, U-3, U-6, forget about it! Let's replace these methodologies with U-TELL-THE-TRUTH MR. PRESIDENT!
Postscript
Next time you hear an Obamanoid repeat the misleading and unprovable statement that Obama's stimulus "saved millions of jobs" hit him with the equally unprovable statement 'you mean like the Bush tax cuts saved millions of jobs?'
