Hilda Solis is sec labor. But she has zero involvement in BLS activities and she is not informed of the numbers until 30 minutes before the release.Who over sees the labor department? And using Bush? obamush is the president now. The only change we have had is the severity of the damage had gotten worse.
Not sure what you mean by "using Bush." Dr. Hall was appointed commissioner by Bush in Jan 2008 for a 4 year term which just expired. Unlike most appointed, the BLS position is NOT tied to a presidential term.
It's kind of hard for you to claim that a Bush appointee who would not be reappointed and couldn't be fired, would fudge the numbers in favor of Obama.
I doubt that will stop you, though.
Is she an obama appointment?
Looks like most of the higher ranked officials in the BLS were Clinton appointees or were hired during the Clinton adminsitration and most have moved up the ranks from there since 1994 or so. Regardless, the BLS is a part of the Department of Labor that is controlled and administered by the Obama Administration at this time.
Does that mean the information provided by the BLS is automatically skewed or tainted? Of course not. I know a lot of folks working in the federral government, some who are Obama supporters, who exercise 100% integrity in their work.
Does it mean that the left leaning surrogate media is capable of skewing or misrepresenting or placing certain emphasis on data released by the BLS or that the Administration would skew it to their advantage? I think that is not only possible but may be highly likely.
