Dear Readers: A big shout-out and thanks to Legal Insurrection’s Bill Jacobson, who kindly joined good friend Silvio Canto and myself on Canto Talk to discuss the first presidential debate and other news (click HERE to listen). True to his word, Professor Jacobson immediately went to his keyboard and highlight the fact he could not identify that class-warrior-princess Elizabeth Warren, Massachusetts senate candidate, did any pro bono work.
The team over at Legal Insurrection is also covering the ginned-up employment numbers, which are explained by an increase in a number of part-time workers. Progressive are trying to tout that numbers based on people dropping away from the search for employment or seeking multiple part-time positions is a hallmark of a successful economy. HOGWASH! Every single independent-conservative activist has predicted that these numbers would be plumped-up like the pillows of a sultan’s favorite harem maiden.
The employment numbers lie. The poll numbers lie. The only numbers real in the Obama Administration are on his golf scorecards — and even those could be questionable.
Bonus! it seems that the Bureau of Labor and Statistics has Obama donors in all the right places.
At least two economists at the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) have contributed to President Barack Obama’s campaign. Harley Frazis of Bethesda, MD, has contributed at least $2,000 to Obama and $9,000 to the Democratic National Convention over the last three election cycles. During his time at BLS, Harley has published a number of papers including his most recent, “How to Think About Time-Use Data: What Inferences Can We Make About Long- and Short-Run Time Use from Time Diaries?”
There are some other excellent posts that I have come across, which show Americans are onto this game and realize Romney’s debate performance on Wednesday was a “GAME-CHANGER”:
- Word Warrior: DEBATE DEBACLE FOR DEMS! DOWN GOES OBAMA!!
- Blogger-in-Chief: Romney – Ward Cleaver of Candidates
- W.C. Varones: Thoughts on #DenverDebate

It seems that 70 million Americans were interested enough in the 2012 election to tune into the first debate. There, they witnessed what the campaign would have looked like without the elite media filter. That is why, despite the false numbers. Romney is going to win. Here is evidence that the American people are not buying what Team Obama is selling:
- Joe Trippi (no righty, he) reports that on-line GOP registration in the key swing state of Ohio shot up in the debate aftermath.
- Obama is now tied with Romney in a district he won by 23 points in 2008.
- Romney Crushes Obama Among California Voters in Snap Polls
(Add to the fact California’s gas prices are skyrocketing, and you have the makings of quite the blue state rebellion on your hands.)
BASED ON THE ABOVE DATA: THE GODDESS OF CAPITALISM IS PLEASED TO MAKE THIS PREDICTION:
Shortly after the Vice-Presidential debate in which Ryan trounces Biden, when it is obvious that the elite media meme is not being accepted by the American people and that most voters want a savvy, sexy second-in-command, the press will start to unleash its fury on Team Obama. They will go over the White House like a pack of wolves.
As evidence, some of it has already started:
Never forget, when it comes to America media, only one thing is certain: It hates LOSERS more than REPUBLICANS
UPDATE: From one of our good friends — proof that the press has begun to abandon the sinking ship.

I agree and told some people close by that Obama might crumble in the debate. I tried to put money on intrade on Romney at 29, but it seems that US banks disallow transfer of money to intrade.
As far as BLS, readers of my blog will see that I stay away from “seasonally adjusted” numbers, which means that they are guesses based on real data. I use total employment numbers. That is how I found that since the Dem congress of 1/2007, America lost 10.5 MILLION jobs. When Obama claims job creation, remember they first killed 10.5 million jobs.
Don’t rely on Intrade. The users are mostly Europeans. We can’t get an accurate American snapshot with those boys.
Great post, Goddess. It’s actually amazing that the media has continued carrying Obama this far. Once it’s clear that he is losing or did lose the election, then they will indeed turn on him as a single monolithic group. Until then, it’s just the one-by-one peel off.
But at some point, they will be forced to abandon him, in search of some other idol who might be able to install that utopian society they worship.
cheers!
But what a quandary they will put themselves in if they do such. The black community will be furious. Will Al Sharpton and Chris Mathews have a knife fight on MSNBC?
Well, Obama did not go to the Inland Empire when he visited California. The Inland Empire has a lot of minorities mainly hispanic and some blacks and Asians. The Democratics are suppose to love minorites.instead he just goes where he can rise money. He did go to Kern but only because they were honoring Caesar Chavez. I bet unless Gary Johnson takes away some votes from Mitt Romney that Obama will lose the Inland empire by 10 percent and Orange by 8 percent and San Diego by 4 to 5 percent.
[…] Recall that I predicted the press would turn on Obama. Little did I realize it would happen so soon. One of his nastiest, mot vile, odious supporters had this to say – Did Obama Just Throw The Entire Election Away? I’ve never seen a candidate self-destruct for no external reason this late in a campaign before. Gore was better in his first debate – and he threw a solid lead into the trash that night. Even Bush was better in 2004 than Obama last week. Even Reagan’s meandering mess in 1984 was better – and he had approaching Alzheimer’s to blame. […]
