This is not a knock at Obama ...... this smoke and mirrors shit has been going on for decades.

And then there's the constant redefining of unemployment.

But consider this ..... in some places in Michigan, unemployment is over 40%. Yes ..... FORTY percent.

10.2% - the official number announced today - seems pretty tame when compared to reality, huh?
