Lincoln and Obama
"Seven score and 10 years ago, Abraham Lincoln delivered his sacred speech on the meaning of free government. Edward Everett, a former secretary of state and the principal speaker for the consecration of the Gettysburg cemetery, instantly recognized the power of the president's 272 words. ...
Barack Obama is not scheduled to be present at Gettysburg on Tuesday to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the address. Maybe he figured that the world would little note, nor long remember, what he said there. Maybe he thought the comparisons with the original were bound to be invidious, and rightly so.
If that's the case, it would be the beginning of wisdom for this presidency. Better late than never.
The president's no-show at Gettysburg suggests he might be trying to follow Old Abe's counsel in a fruitful way: 'Better to remain silent and be thought a fool,' the Great Emancipator is reported to have said, 'than to speak and to remove all doubt." - Bret Stephens, The Wall Street Journal

NY Post Has Proof Census ‘Faked’ 2012 Election Jobs Report
The Lid
When the jobs report came out the first week of October 2012 reporting a drop from 8.1 to 7.8%, many people thought it was bogus, in fact Jack Welch believed the report was bogus and it launched a major war between the former GE CEO and Time Warner (Fortune, CNN, Money) who went out of their way to dispute Welch's claim and went after him personally. Fortune.com ran a story detailing Welch's record as a job destroyer.
Jack Welch was Right
Welch resigned from Time Warner and wrote an Op-Ed in the WSJ explaining his problem with the unemployment numbers and criticizing the sometimes vicious attacks he has received since his tweet.
According a just released story by the NY Post, Jack Welch was right, Time Warner was wrong, and the Obama administration lied.
According to the report that surprising .3% drop was based on manipulated numbers, and the Census Bureau, which does the unemployment survey, knew it.
"And a knowledgeable source says the deception went beyond that one employee — that it escalated at the time President Obama was seeking reelection in 2012 and continues today.
“He’s not the only one,” said the source, who asked to remain anonymous for now but is willing to talk with the Labor Department and Congress if asked..."

Nation Awaits Matt Damon to Eat Shoe
Hollywood Stupid Raises it's Head Again
'I'd Eat My Shoe If Jeb Could Name a Bush That
Ever Even Walked Into a Public School'
Damon responds in a recent interview in a language resembling english:
DAMON: Well, because I, you know, because I want the public schools to, if they were, if they went back to, if I could find my, the private school that I send my kids to is the thing closest to the public school that I went to that I could find. And that’s why I send my kids to private school. I wish I didn't have to, it’s expensive, and I also want my kids to be part of a, you know, their local community, you know, and not have to commute to somewhere else to go to school....."
I think it was Jeb Bush who tweeted that, and then retracted it pretty quickly. Although I'd eat my shoe if he could name a Bush that ever even walked into a public school, but that’s another story. ..."Oops.....
This from Newsbusters:
The Miami Herald reported in 2002 that Jeb Bush initially attended the public Grady Elementary School in Houston before mother Barbara enrolled him in the private Kincaid School closer to where they lived.
Brother George W. attended public schools in Midland, Texas - Sam Houston Elementary and San Jacinto Junior High - before being enrolled at Kincaid when the family moved to Houston...."And let's not forget one Laura Bush, former First Lady, who I might remind Mr. Damon was a public school teacher herself.
I suggest Mr. Damon sauté' that Gucci in a bit of olive oil and salt before he eats it.
