I'm sorry, but I'm having trouble finding a point here. First are you asserting a connection between the sequester which has resulted in furloughs of workers and the unemployment rate? If so state it.

This appears to be the childish drivel that a President controls economic performance from day one. Use of this canard automatically disqualifies you from being taken seriously.
I congratulate you on understanding the meaning of BLS statistics (an uncommon accomplishment on this board!) and hope you will continue with that effort by gaining some further understanding of how they are used.

This is true, and it makes sense to not count those who aren't looking for work. If I retire why would you count me as part of the labor force when attempting to calculate unemployment rate?Fact, the UE rate goes down because it counts people who give up looking for work. Often that number is a lot larger than the amount of people who actually get a job, IE 80k jobs created in a month yet magically the UE rate drops despite that being an impossibility unless you double count the 300,000k people that droped out of the labor force.
Obama is responsible for demographics?The overall UE rate, that is to say people not working is getting worse, thanks to Obama.
Fact.

That right there is 6 million jobs. Either moved overseas or blocked because Republicans block investment in Education.
And yet, it's Obama's fault. Gawd how they hate that guy. Why? Because he won't take responsibility for their fucking mess?
