Jack Welch Has the Last Laugh
« on: October 19, 2012, 04:51:27 PM »
Everyone was giving Jack Welch the beatdown last week when he said something was fishy with the jobs numbers.

Gee whiz, it looks like he was right. California "misreported" their numbers. Also interestingly, the guy who did it is a big Obama donor.

Yep, heard about it on Rush last week.
It was more of an 'ommission of truth' than 'outright lying' though both sound the same to me.

Truth is so easily misplaced in this administration.  Too much vasoline.

they are the same.
